My pets are all artwork ... not living pets ... just wood or metal or stone.

Since I have HQ and No living pets I don't have to keep them and their hair out of my quilting.

I pet sit when I need a 'fix' of a real pet.

Not required, but I sure do love my cat to be in my sewing room with me in case I need her design opinion,lol!!

If you love them then you have to have them.

I've actually taken my brother's dog to the dog park to get a "pet fix." I travel too much to keep a pet.

ive done it both ways and there are some pros and cons !!!
without , i dont have anyone i have to share my sewing room with , trip over, clean up hairballs from, take material out of there mouth, yell at them to stop playing with that spool of thread, get off of that quilt, or wake them up from the comfy spot to go downstairs with me when im done sewing for the night,and to get out of the window !!! (there is a full lenght window in my sewing room upstairs and the dog can see everything going on in the neighborhood)
but i would miss all this if they were not here!!!

No but my cat Moose thinks it is his right to inspect my work by taking a nap on anything quilted. So I wash my quilts before they leave the house.

DH has a cockatiel and if given a chance loves to remove pins. (He's really fast on top of it all!) Needless to say, I usually see him coming across the floor wings clipped and he uses his ladder very well) and by the time he gets to my lap, quilt has been put aside for the moment.
