Thank you Cinnamon for all of the marvelous giveaways and drawings. They are great fun! — I love so many animals that it is hard to pick just one. I’ve had lots of pets over the years, and have always been an avid zoo aficionado — Dogs, cats, rescued birds, turtles, frogs, lizards and fish all fascinate me. They are each so beautiful and unique. I guess my favorite pet was a cocker spaniel because she had a very sweet and happy nature. We were inseparable for 16 years, until she passed. Not only was she a great sewing buddy; but she also loved long walks, runs, and riding in a basket on my bicycle. Lately I’ve been very drawn to cats also. My daughter and my best friend both have the sweetest, cuddliest cats that I’ve ever seen. Good luck everybody!
I love dogs and chickens.
My favorite animal is the cat. I have had cats all my life. Currently we have four. The oldest one, our 14 year old Blueberry, is actually the neighborhood “dog”. He patrols the area and is fierce defending his little girls, my granddaughters. Next we have Cappy, which is short for Captain America. She is part ferule cat and has an odd personality. And last, we have Twinkle and Blackberry who are brother and sister.
Because we lived on a four lane highway, I could not have any four legged pets.I wanted a dog so bad. When I got married I got a poodle terrier mix from a family whose son abused the dog. I made sure the rest of his life was heaven on earth. I’ve always had dogs ever since.
I am a licensed veterinary technician so I have a love of all animals but my favorite domesticated animals are cats but on the wild side I love penguins.
I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel. My husband and I have 2 Miniature Schnauzers. They are quite the characters. Especially at play time!
My favorite pet is my horse.
My favorite Animal would be elephants even though it would be difficult to own one. My favorite AG animal is Naneas dog Mele!
I didn’t get my first pet until I was married! (Too many allergies between my mom and I.). Jonah, our ferret, was the perfect pet! So, I would have to say that ferrets are my fave! Great patterns, and great contest Pixie Faire! Thank you!
I’m a cat lover, have always been. Hubby’s a dog guy, and our daughter is crazy for any animal (except spiders, and insects!)
My favourite pet is a cat.
I love all animals, but cats are my absolute favorites! (I am owned by a cat, so she may have undue influence on my answer.)
I am a dog lover all the way. I grew up with a Cocker Spaniel. Now my husband and I have 2 Miniature Schnauzers. They are a lot of fun to play with.
I love all animals but I guess my favorite pet would be dogs.
I love dogs, especially huskies, German Shepherds, and collies!
I love cats and dogs. Cats are wonderfully independent and so clever. The loyality of dogs makes every homecoming special. I Really can’t choose.
I am a cat person but I also like dogs.
Definitely dogs!!
My favorite animal is definitely a cat. I have three cats, and my dolls have eight!
We all love cats! But I also love bears (not teddys) & that would be a cute unique option.
If I had to name just one pet as my favorite it would be a dog. Otherwise, I love most any animal with horses being a close second.
My favorite pet is dogs, especially Golden Retrievers
Dogs are my favorites, especially Chihuahuas and German Shepherds.
My favorite pets are dogs. As a child I was afraid of them, but as I got older I fell in love with a little Chihuahua named Bitsy and after that followed a number of others. Our children wanted a big dog too, so we added a German Shepherd, who was also followed by others. My life has been filled by loving little Chihuahuas and German shepherds. sadly when we lost the last one we decided that we would just enjoy the grand-pups.
I like cats and dogs, but where did you get the bicycle at?

My favorite pet would be either cats and dogs. I am partial to cats because they are more independent.
My favourite pet is any four legged, two legged, legless creature who comes into my life and loves me as I love them. I’ve owned dogs, cats, iguanas, fish, hedgehogs and parakeets. The only pet I have wanted and haven’t been lucky enough to own is a horse. I have however, been lucky enough to look after horses. I own four cats at this time. 3>
I love dogs our present dog Lady was abused we got it from a shelter and had to be send it to school because it did not like me or any women. Now she loves me but my sisters who loves dogs can not get near her so we have to put her out when they come to visit.

My favorite pets are ferrets, they do take a lot of specialized care though. I was so excited when I saw the Our Generation pet ferret, I bought two.

My fave are dogs – I used to be afraid of them, but now I have 2 little dogs! Love them…
Grace, the Basset. We’ve been rescuing basset hounds and basset mixes for over 40 years. I can think of a better pet. Names like Grace, Speedy, Rocket and Flash are perfect for them, perfect as they are so out-of-character. Lovable and uncompromising… We have four now…
I like cats the best.
My favorite animal is a sheep and I am confirming my entry.
My favorite pet is a dog, man’s best friend!
Our cat, Felix.
My favorite animal is my dog Bella. She’s the most loving pet I’ve ever had. She will lay her head on my legs when they’re hurting and give kisses when it’s bad enough that I’m crying. Love her so much!
I love dogs. Big dogs😍
I am definitely a cat person. We have 5 cats and 1 dog ( to whom I am allergic, but she’s family, so I just take my Claritin every day). Our favorite AG pets are Rebecca’s kittens and Nanea’s dog, Mele.
My grand daughter, Liara, loves all animals both big and small, but especially dogs! She is only 4.5 years and already planning for her own animals! Fun, fun, fun… Ta, Deb.

Papillon Dog. Great pets!
Kitties are my favorite!
I like all animals but I am allergic to cats. I grew up on a farm and was always rescuing some injured wild animal. I have not had a pet in a few years now. I would pick a dog as my favourite pet. Thank you

ferrets
My nephews little yorky dog Ella was a favorite. Unfortunately she passed away last October. She was really sweet and never met a person she didn’t like, even the ones that were not nice to her. She visited Grandma every day and they were best friends. She is greatly missed by us all.
My favorite animal is my very own sweet Rat Terrier, Juno. My second favorite would be a horse, which I don’t have room for.
Kittens are my favorite
I love both cats and dogs. My favorite dogs are husky and bulldog
My favourite animal is a panda. My daughter loves pandas & I have grown to love them too.
a ferret they are the best.
Cute fuzzy little kittens…too bad they have to grow up!
Dogs! I love dogs!!!
I love cats, cats, and more cats.
I love the little animals that go with American Girl dolls. My wish is for more patterns to make them. I have taken larger patterns and reduced them with my printer but it is very tedious to sew some of the pieces in miniature. A streamlined pattern would be terrific.
I am partial to dogs and my favorites areGerman Shepherds and cockers
I love the kittens!
I’ve always preferred cats.
My favorite pet is of course a cat, or two or more.
My favourite pet would be a horse.
Several members of our family have huskies, and we have had 2. I miss them terribly. So, my favorite has to the the husky puppy. Thanks for the opportunity. Happy stitching!
I love rabbits.
My favorite pet is a cat. I think lemurs are really cool as well.
I love animals. Even our part-time cat, who actually belongs next door but thinks our home is his! All my dolls have pets of some sort, from cats and dogs, to hedgehogs, pigs, reindeer, monkeys and even a white fox. My Grandchildren love to visit and play with them all. Teaching them the importance of respect for all animals, domestic or wild, and playing helps them learn.
I love all animals, including my 3 dos and 2 cats. I think baby goats are among the cutest animals and would love to have a couple!
I love dogs! We have a lab mix, beagle/corgi mix and a beagle all of which are rescues.
I love so many animals that it’s impossible to pick just one. But we lost our dog, a terrier mix named Sarah, to old age nearly a year ago and I would love to have give a home to one again, so I would have to say a dog. Adopting a dog needing a home would wonderful.
I love the husky
