Has anyone noticed that almost all the quilters on this board seem to have animals. We really are a wonderful bunch of human beings.

Of course we are, just ask us! LOL

We've been married 32 years and have had animals the entire time. Our dogs have all been rescues and are a part of our family. This is the reason my Bernina is NOT in my home. I don't want dog hair around it so my sewing room is in my shop. I have a rented office space in town for all of my paint-sprayers-wallpaper-ladders etc. ( I'm a painter) It started out with my Bernina in one little corner of the room. Now all of my painting supplies have been squished into a little less than half of the room and my sewing has taken over the rest! I love my little shop/sewing room. I go in there and there's no supper to cook-no laundry-no one bothering me- I just go in there and sew and sew and sew. I have it all painted up bright and cheery and I just love it there!

I have a spoiled rotten FAT cat!! My Reba (dog) passed away about 5 years ago at age 12. The vet said that she was really old because Rotts usually only live to be about 8 to 10 years max. She was well loved and cared for from birth. We had her Mom and she was the runt of a litter of 15 pups!! Survived parvo at 4 months old. I sometimes want another puppy but DH won't agree to it. crafty_linda_b

Oh yes and it looks like they are all spoiled rotten just like my four doggie children LOL

Most of the animals I have had for the last 25 years kinda found me. Most of mine were ones that no one wanted. My last 2 I got are feral brother cats. Both are fixed and stay indoors now. :thumbup:

From the time I was born, I had cats. Toby slept in the crib with me. I can't imagine not having my four cats helping me with every aspect of quilting!

There are a lot of us on the board that do not have animals. You just don't know it because we do not participate in the animal discussions.
