You do know there’s a two hundred dollar cleaning charge for every sofa your dog and cat try out.

Looks like Bleeb and Dalcon must be getting deconned from all that llama spit.

Hmmm, Berpleys……… I wonder if that’s a play on somebody who will remain unmentioned who buuurrrrrrpleys a lot?

Yes, I also thought that at those prices, they’ve already done about $300 worth of damage. Is Bleeb resting, hiding in the cushions, camouflaged or just off today?

The latest in interior decor – fang shui

I know of a real life case of something like this. A woman redecorated her house and then took her cat to the pound to trade it in for one that matched the new colors she had picked out. Some people should not have pets of any kind.

I had a friend who bought a couch like this, but with blue flowers and a satin sheen. UGLY!

Love the pet names!!

“Hey, Frodo!”

“Yeah Sam?”

“You hungry?”

“Nope… just ate.”

“Was it that little yellow alien bug-lookin’ thing?”

“Yep!”

“Dang! I was gonna eat it! I was wonderin’ why I didn’t see it!”

“Ya snooze, ya lose, Sam! Probably better that you didn’t, though… ‘cause it’s givin’ me a hair-ball sized case of the rumblin’, tumblin’, tummy grumblin’, that’s about to wind up on this here new sofa!”

“Thanks for the heads-up, Frodo!”

“I’m a cat, Sam… it’s what I do.”

Be sure and check to see if the left behind hair is easy to see or not.

Okay, I suc at interior design, but is that couch ugly or not? I mean, I think it would look good in the Garage TV/Gaming room. Easy to spill beer and drop pizza and tacos on.

Where’s the plastic cover?

I confess I once test drove a car home to see if KeeLee ( our dog ) liked the leather seats, we went with the cloth.

No one’s going to point out that the animals are named FRODO and SAM? Where’s Gandalf and Legolas?

My concern would be the lint and animal hair

And Bleeb blends in so well, I can’t even find him. Yes, let’s try green one.

We look for sofas the color of our Lab’s fur…

A Bleeb-less Friday. :(

Looks like camouflage, you’d always be sitting down on them!

I think Bleeb has learned his lesson and now stays clear of cats.

You stylistas didn’t notice that Bleeb is not anywhere close to those cats?
