My "girls" follow me everywhere and no way would I change that. They are companion dogs, after all, and I need their companionship. Our best friend nicknamed the two of them the "underfoot sisters." A really appropriate name. My yellow lab lies to the side of my machine table where I have to step over her every time I move. The chocolate lab lays under the far side of my sewing table, so when it's time to cut, I have to adjust to her bulk. She's a tad stubborn and dislikes moving, so the fabric lands on her and she still doesn't move. Works for all of us. Usually DH is in his chair, doing a sudoku or crossword puzzle too so my sewing studio is really a family room. I love it too! Plus, there are no dog beds in the home as they sleep with us (I know some find this ewww but I sleep best with them and believe I must once have been a pack animal in a former life)
