I also have ripped up all carpet in the main part of the house. After years of raising kids and potty training animals it had to go. With Roxie being so difficult to potty train and allergy problems with some of us in the family I said no more carpet. We'd go visit my brother in Florida who has 3 dogs, 2 of which are yorkie-poo's and his house is all tile on the lower level. I was sold. How easy it is to clean up messes. They keep a baby gate at the stairs so the dogs can't go up to the bedrooms (all carpeted) unless someone is with them. Downstairs they have a slider door to the back yard with a doggy door in it and the back yard is fully fenced in with a 10 foot privacy fence. They don't even have fleas because he's eliminated alot of the trees that attract squirrels. I love his place it's a very easy place to be with dogs. Anyway...no more carpet for us exept in the bedrooms!! |
