| I'm so proud of my new floor! This is indirectly related to Yorkie's. I probably wouldn't have these floors if it weren't for Bernie and Baxter. I think that hardwood floors should come along with every new Yorkie, if you don't already have them. I had 10 year old carpet when I got my boys, so I wasn't really all that stressed when they totally destroyed my carpet when they were puppies. Oh, the joy (along with the back pain) that ripping out that old "white" carpet brought to me. I'm soooooo proud of my new floor I couldn't wait to show you guys. Of course, during installation they had to put the floor through initiation. But it's all good. Just wipes right up. If you look really close you can see Baxter sitting on the right side of the photo. Thank you for taking a look. Let me know what you think.

| Ooooo very nice! We lived in a rental house with carpet and I hated having to be so careful with Jamie. He had to wear a bellyband any time his feet hit the floor. We just moved into a house with laminate planks and I was SOOO excited not to have to worry anymore. Would you believe that Mr. Jamie hasn't had a single accident in the new house!?!? Go figure!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, they are really beautiful, I noticed Baxter sitting their in the photo, guess he's a little ham. I think you will really love the wood, what a beautiful color it is too. I have wood, carpet, and ceramic tile in my house and wood is by far my favorite. Ceramic tile is easy to clean, but can be hard standing for long periods especially as you get older. They say wood has enough "give" to it so this isn't a problem, and so much easier to keep clean than carpet.

What type (exactly) did you choose? You guys ripped out your carpet? I think that is a very BIG job!!!!! Did you also do the installation or did you have it done? Is it throughout your whole house? How long did it take? Nosey, nosey me!! I am looking for detailed info, eh? | |

| Yeah, that's Baxter....and guess what? No accidents today while I was at work. You might know. I think that they really like it. It must be cooler to them than the carpet. Thank all you guys for your compliments! I really appreciate it!

| Boy did that ever make your room look "ritzy" and beautiful. The guy is laying my new wood floor right now. By the way, what type of backing does your area rug have? I can't use the one I have now or it will rub the floor too bad. |

| Thanks. It's just the rug. It's a wool rug with the regular backing on it. You think I should put something under it? I've been kicking that around. It's not like the rug will be moving around rubbing on it. What do you think?
