Diane- I'm not really sure what I was thinking... It sure looks nice in my room though (minus the cat prints) the cover sheet idea is a good one... about 3 more times of muddy prints and I'm sure I will give up all together on the idea..
Our dogs also make weird groaning noises, and they don't roll after breakfast either... only dinner. Maggie "pushes" almost anytime she can, I think it's because she is mostly white and our carpets are rust colored. Needless to say, we vacuum A LOT! which is a whole other ordeal, Paige is crazy about the vacuum runs circles around you, barks and becomes very excited and obnoxious to the point of not being able to vacuum much.. we usually have to put her in another room . Only the vacuum causes her to be this excited, luckily not cars or other things with loud motors.
