    We have a 5 mth old, 64 lb chocolate lab. He wants to sit under the table by my feet when I sew. He has stepped on the foot pedal and put the machine in action. Startled the dickens out of me. Said my thank you prayer really fast that my hands weren't in the way. I don't think he has been back under since. Mama has a really big voice.

    We have 2 dogs. Max, our black lab mix, is the avatar photo. We also have a white maltipoo. She weighs about 8 lbs. They are quite a pair!

    I just have my 13 yr old Pom. She is so sweet. When I am quilting she is usually under the quilt or on a rug right by my chair. I do my quilting upstairs in a spare bedroom, and Kodi hates it upstairs, but she refused to stay down stairs if I am upstairs, even if "daddy" is down stairs.

    I have two miniature schnauzers, Vanilla & Spice, who are now 9 & 8. Vanilla is a white male(he picked his own name ,incidentally)& Spice is a black female. They are mates, puppy-free!(Both fixed as puppies-even though they are purebreds)Spice especially likes to play quality-control whenever I start laying blocks out. I love my four-legged babies!

    We had a Great Dane/Lab mix for a while when the kids were younger. He could walk under the dining room table and pick it up with his back at 7 months. He ate a couch. Then he learned how to open the fridge and ate everything in there. I came home to birthday cake, ketchup, Pepsi and some things I tried not to identify.

    We decided that he need WAY more stimulation than we could provide. We adopted him out to a family with a farm. He was much happier there with tons of room to run and other animals with which to play.

    5 dogs! two black labs - one is my daughters who cannot have pets in her apartment. One Benji type dog (a rescue dog) who belongs to my other daughter who also can't have pets in her apartment! a small terrier and a border collie - both rescue dogs! Gets hectic in morning getting them all out and of course feeding time. But they just are happy if they know where I am in the house and don't bother - now the 5 cats are another story....!!

    Here are my babies. We got them for our Asperger Syndrome daughter and it has helped with social skills.
