We used to have a dog that stayed in our house and thank goodness we have laminate flooring. Laminate flooring resists scratches from little puppy paws (or cat paws) and laminate doesn’t dent like hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring can get dents from the weight of furniture and kid’s toys (another leading cause of scratches). Laminate flooring is easily maintained and usually comes with a wear, fading and stain warranty. The best thing about laminate against hardwood flooring is that it is cheaper.
My daughter and her husband have a new puppy and he stays in the house. They have plush carpet and I recommended that when they replace their carpet that they should go with a berber carpet. Berber carpet is very durable and longer lasting for pets and high traffic areas. For homes with pets, I would definitely go with either berber carpet or laminate flooring to last and look good for years.
So I explained to my daughter that the life of her carpet and flooring can be affected by dust, dirt and PETS. So when she is ready for new flooring, check out Empire Carpet Stories at Empire Today for the best carpet and flooring selections and service with in-home flooring sales and next day installation.
I can’t wait to see her new flooring!

Wow, Charmin is getting so big! He’s 6 1/2 months old now, and earlier, when he were playing/wrestling around with him, I realized just how heavy he’s getting. He weighs a little over 40 lbs now…won’t be long before I won’t be able to even pick him up. He’s still sleeping in his crate at night. Sometimes I’d like to let him out so he could just sleep on the floor, which would probably be softer (or maybe I should consider a baby bassinet…I kid! 
) It will be a long time before he’s left out on his own…especially if we’d like to keep all of our furniture and things in one piece!

We just got a new puppy or maybe he found us. Anyway, he was on the road that we live on and was chasing a car. Then he ran out in front of us (me and Krista) and I had to skid to a stop to keep from hitting him. We passed on by him….I wasn’t ready for a new dog. Krista’s dog, Brownie, that we had for 13 years had died in October 2007 and our other dog, Buddy, had died in March 2008. So I didn’t want a dog but the thought of that little dog getting hurt there on our road….well I just couldn’t stand the thought. We turned around and went back and got the puppy. And now Krista has a new puppy named Duke. He looks like he might be part Beagle and Basset Hound, but he is a cutie. He’s got long floppy ears and he’s white with different shades of brown spots.
We think that someone didn’t want him and put him out on the side of the road. Which I just don’t understand how somebody could do that. We stopped at some of the houses where we found Duke and asked if he was their dog but he wasn’t. And I told Krista that if we saw a “lost dog” sign, we would have to return him. But we never did. That left us with the conclusion that someone just put him out on the side of the road. I mean, if you don’t want a littler of unwanted puppies (to put out on the side of the road), you should have your pets spayed of neutered.
But thanks to someone “dropping” Duke of, Krista now has a new puppy.
