I love my Dogs, and if you come to my house , well this is their home. I will say I don't believe in taking your pets to public places. Unless it is a service dog. There are a lot of people who are allergic to cats and dogs as well. I have never heard of someone bringing a pet to a quilting guild. I love dogs and cats but they need to be left at home. If I went to a fabric shop and they had a cat there I would not buy the fabric, I have no allergies but someone else might and besides that I don't want cat hair all over my fabric. I know you that have cats think they don't get on your cabinets but when you are the cats do play, lol....I know, we have had cats for years up until the last few years. They are smart, will behave while you are there but when you are gone they like to explore other places, just saying. Well all that said hope you can find some place to but fabric that doesn't have a cat or dog laying around.
