No,you don't need a cat or dog. I have 2 black cats named Lilly and Loki that have their very own quilted cushions. But they are great company and Lilly lets me know when it is time for a petting break. When they want attention,they each wrap around my feet,so we stop work for a while and relax and hug each other.I personally think everyone should have a pet to relax with,but that's just my opinion.They don't want to get around the quilt I'm working. I turn the tv on the animal planet channel and they watch that all day while I work.It sounds crazy but they like it and keeps them busy.But I guess it sounds crazier that I turn on the tv for my cats,don't it?

I remember in 2007 I was taping my very first backing to the floor. The only place big enough to do this is in the family room. The dogs were both watching me do this. Crawling around and what not. As soon as I moved up further and there was backing behind me, already taped, Dugan laid down on it. Not a minute had gone by!!!! Boy I miss him. These memories help!

Yesterday I went sale shopping. I saw a couple of cute sweaters and both of them had an image of a cat on them. The sales person kept showing me these garments with animals on them. Finally I told her I had enough of the cats. Please, no cats.
I do know that some people do get very attached to their pets. And that's admirable, but just not for me. Now I hope you all won't hate me.
