Well, Glenn This probably won't help when habits have been established - and it is obvious to me that MANY who own Cavaliers prefer that their dogs share their furniture, but .... some of us decided a long time ago that dogs belonged on the floor, not on the couch / chair / other upholstered furniture. I do invite Justine up into my lap and cuddle her sometimes - and sometimes allow her to come cuddle on the bed - but - mainly all my dogs stay on the floor - I provide them with beds, quilts, cool tile flooring, carpet, etc - so they have various options - but they don't 'live' on the couch or the chairs in the living room - Frankly, I have enough problems keeping up with the hair on the floor - I'd never keep up with the furniture, too -
As for the walls - I think I'd suggest some vinyl wallpaper that wipes down easily -- probably will hold up & last longer than a painted surface - I'm still using the painted walls - which do need repainting <g> Joan with Kiss & Kastle Gambler (Berners) and Justine (Cavalier) in New Castle VA Glenn Fulton wrote: > Does anyone have any SERIOUS ideas about decorating with pets?
