It is way too cool the way you guys let your pets in the shop.
I have 1 cat, 1 dog and they know not to enter the shop except when I am scrolling. Must be the noise of my other toys they dont like :-).

Chance knows to go out or into the corner if I pick up a power tool or turn on a floor tool BUT sitting and sanding or painting means she can get up on my lap. And she knows she is a lap dog. Not her fault if my lap ain't big enough.

I had a real urge to turn on that table saw and wake up the pussycat. lol.

Well my cat loves to hang out when I am scrolling and like the rest of you, the door better be open when something loud gets turned on. It becomes a scramble for the door. I am always picking up pieces and tools and sandpaper and on and on that he has knocked off a bench while trying to get comfortable...

Does anybody have a pattern for stillts. I am looking after a freinds Dashhound for a week and his legs are only 6 inches long. I think I could epoxy some stillts on the little guy and bring up to a real dog size. He is a real dog though, he just joined Chance scarfing down a bowl of pasta.

Just had to post this one, all the Danes we have had will let you dress them up. I have large neckers from my scout leader days and if I pull one out Chance will walk over and stick her head threw.
Anyway this was this afternoon, she was just laying in the doorway watching.

Alan and Chance.

It has been a week and two days now since I had to bury my shop kitty. She would not come in as it was one of the last beautiful nights of summer no matter how much we called and cajoled. She got hit by a car going to fast down our street as usual. Building her little casket was the saddest project I have ever had to do. It is a wonder I still have all my fingers as it was kind of hard to see as I was working. Having to call my daughter in Kansas was no fun either, let me tell you. She was the only cat we have ever had that was not spooked by the power tools, she would just lay there on the bench or a tool that was not being used and watch me work. I sure will miss that little bugger.
