Just putting in my two cents worth...
We have red oak floors (original to the house) and I
wouldn't have it any other way. All wood and tile and slate. We
sweep twice a day and we still have hair everywhere. I told my neighbor
just yesterday that if I should ever leave this house whomever buys it will be
sweeping up dog hairs for years to come. THEY ARE
EVERYWHERE!!!!
Now my mother-in-law has two poodles in the house.
She also has carpet. She has had that carpet cleaned several times and the
spots that the girls (the poodles) made have not been able to be removed and the
house smells more like "dog" than mine does.
That's something I take great pride and satisfaction
in. It may smell like last nights gumbo, fish or whatever, but it doesn't
smell like dog!!!!!!!!! I really think that's because we have hard wood
floors and leather furniture. Nothing for it to really get down
into.
PLUS...Bear and Sugar Bear go to the vet for a bath
every other Friday. They don't stay outside for long periods of
time. We walk and stuff but they don't get to do the rolling in the dirt
and digging that lots of dogs do. So they aren't bringing all that nasty
mess in the house. BUT if they did, I have hard wood and it wouldn't be so
difficult to clean.
For those who have served in the Armed Forces (regardless of branch), thank
you for serving my country.
As we celebrate Independence Day, let us not forget those that have been
willing to give their lives ~ yesterday, today and tomorrow ~ so that others may
be free!
Happy Independence Day to you all,
GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!!!
