Fuck carpet

Fuck carpet

+1

We have an area rug in our bedroom and our kid's bedroom. That's it.

I like carpet in the bedrooms, well that and whole house hardwoods is $$$$

[Steve85]

No pets upstairs where the bedrooms are, and not allowed on the furniture although one of the dogs sneaks on the couch downstairs. The sectional down there has survived three dogs, two girls through high school and two adolescent boys so far. It was worth the extra money over Bob's Discount.

Our first house was all carpet except for the foyer, kitchen and bathrooms and the main floor carpet was shit after a year. Next house was older and we tore up all the carpet to have hardwood / tile throughout. It was nice, but I did miss carpet in the bedrooms. Current house is hardwoods on the main floor and carpets in basement and upstairs. We learned our lesson and have gone no shoes inside and the carpet has stayed nice.

I can see the allure of chilling with your pet on the couch, even though i would never allow it, but someone please give me a good argument for why you think it's fine to sleep in a bed covered in dog ass juice and slobber

I got nothing.

Idk what it is but the idea of a messy dog on my bed is easier to handle then the idea of a messy kid all over my bed

I have a kid and I'm with Lee. Then again, our kid's never been in our bed for than a few minutes at a time.

I guess I can't really explain it; maybe it's because they are family companions, maybe it's just because I love them, I don't know, but my dogs have spent every night of their lives sleeping in the bed with us. In the winter they are like two tiny furnaces, in the summer it is a bit of a pain, but we love them, they are family, and they, in our opinion, are entitled to everything my wife and I are. They spend more time in our house than we do, so they get to sleep in the bed with us. We don't crate them and they have free range over the house all the time anyways, why should the bed be any different? We don't have children and have no plans to have any so oh well, in the bed they go. I sorta like the feeling of rolling over in the middle of the night and having a companion to pet and fall back asleep. That's just us though.

Yeah, this. And also agree with Sully, for some reason, kid's grossness is just more gross to me even though I realize that makes no sense whatsoever.

I also get lucky that for whatever reason my pup gets shy of the AC, so in summer she sleeps under the bed the entire night. So no mini furnace problems there.

Yeah, my dogs dont piss or projectile vomit or draw all over the walls or make a booger mountain all over my house :lol:

But, if you're not a "dog person" I wouldnt expect anyone to get it. Its a different thing.

[Apoc]

Do you call them your fur babies too? :lol:

I really like dogs and we'll be getting one when the kid asks, but Seattle had taught me I'm not really a dog person. I don't think I'll ever see pets as people.

[WRXtranceformed]

Our family loved our dogs too don't get me wrong, we just never anthropomorphized them like a lot of people do. All three generations of golden retrievers we grew up with were both indoor and outdoor dogs, so it was not uncommon to regularly see them come back to the house with an entire side of their body matted with cow manure. That could be why I'm more particular about animals being all up on the furniture. I dated a girl years ago whose entire family were PETA-nazis and when her sister's dog got cancer....she spent tens of thousands of dollars on chemotheraphy....and the dog died anyway hock: Growing up on a farm you tend to be more connected in to "the circle of life" (the reality of life and death) and I remember the vet coming out several times to put down two of my grandmother's dogs and at least one of ours that were terminally ill. We all survived just fine emotionally, got a new one each time and loved them just the same.

Babies are our children not pets, it kind of is what it is and we will manage that when it happens (most likely just increase the loads of laundry being done, we paid to have our a protective coating sprayed on our couch so I'm not worried about that).

Definitely not fur babies, but we try to give them a good life. They didnt ask to be brought into our house.

They are also 99% inside dogs and dont have a yard so the risk of them coming in covered in shit is pretty damn low.

Yeah, cow poop was one of the less disturbing things we used to see on our dogs. Blood-gorged ticks (that we would have to pull or burn off) were pretty common, and one time our dog Remus brought home a severed adult deer leg and was covered in blood like a damn pagan savage.

[Apoc]

Tell me you had another dog named Romulus.

[WRXtranceformed]

I wish

[D_Eclipse9916]

Lol wut. Comparing your outdoor dog experience to my mix breed poodle who's outdoor experience includes a walk around the neighborhood.

Your explanation makes perfect sense why I wouldn't want that thing on any furniture.... hell in the house.
