We have a little weiner dog and she has her own quilt in the sewing room. She comes in and sleeps while I sew and when she thinks we've been there long enough, she tells me she needs to go out! She never bothers anything, just needs to be close.

If I tried to keep my cats out of the room, I'd hear nothing but wailing and scratching! They have the full run of the room and often try to help.
My avatar likes to supervise my ironing and help the thread move off the spool as I sew. She likes to squeeze under the closed cabinet and make sure the foot control is OK. My other cat just likes to lay on the chair.

My boys, Rowdy and Jasper are always on hand - usually keeping the rug next to my machine from flying away. The take their job seriously though and if I ever tried to shut them outside of the room when I was in there it would be painful to listen to their pitiful moans and groans at being left out.

They often lay on the floor or the 2 big dogs will rest their head on my knee.
