    Wow, Harlee looks so grown up now. She is beautiful. I never considered
    that flooring because I didn't want Buddy to have any accidents that would
    injure his legs. Out of habit, I'd probably still put a throw rug down. just in
    case. It does look great in your pictures.

    Liz that is a real concern especially for small dogs. One day at the vets I got talking to the owner of a teacup poodle (they aren't really recognized) but the little cutie had a cast on her front leg. She had also broken the other one previously by sliding into furniture. Fortunately Harlee is sturdy and will probably be just fine after some unplanned quick trips to the floor. She is getting better as we go along. In fact hubby (a dyed in the wool poodle man) recently said that if it wasn't for the large piles in the yard she would be a pleasure to have permanently. Her personality is just so sweet.

    The floor holds up to everything. I can't sing its praises enough. Hubby first saw Pergo at his friend's house several years ago. This guy actually crushed out a cigarette on it. (I am not endorsing this as a good test of this flooring though )

    P.S. Cybersibes, I forgot the dog show was on. I watched a rented video instead.

    I am trying to talk my husband into the pergo flooring...he thinks if you have that you need nice rugs all over.

    Actually a carpet over a wood floor will ruin it. Something about dirt that gets trapped under the rug scratching the surface like grit or sandpaper..

    Hi Pam!

    Love the floor. Looks exactly like what I have in my Den and Bedroom. We need more pics of the 3 cutie patooties.

    You'd think that the Collies would have a harder time with the wood floor, but it's actually Murph that does. He just never seems to understand that he can't go from standing to full out running. He always ends up looking like a cartoon character with his legs pumping like crazy, while he doesn't move an inch.

    Oz has adapted to it the best. Well after I put down a throw, so he can jump up and down off the bed. He seems to understand the importance of just walking to get from place to place.

    Gull likes to run like Murph too, but he's developed like an ice skating motion, where he just slides his paws across the floor. So he does pretty good on it. I'll have to get a video of him and Oz playing though. Since they can't really run that well, they just sort of bounce and spin in one spot, barking at each other.

    Par...

    Great pictures, Pam! Harlee has matured beautifully. What a gorgeous girl she is. I can't believe her pink nosie is gone. Bella looks like she's your program director there and Ripley looks as if he goes along with anything Bella says

    I have laminate flooring through the biggest part of the house. The girls never missed a beat when I had it put in. They do great on it. I worry about Daisy with her luxated patella problem but she seems to do fine.

    My son has a problem with his laminate flooring, with his Aussies, so he added alot of rugs to slow them down. It helps alot.

    Thanks Barry!

    WOW! pam, it was so great to see pictures of delicious Harley! She's so yummy, and beautiful, I just want to kiss her face all over! I have the dog show on now..unfortunately, I missed the Swissies (But our Jackie will be please to know I saw the Snauzies!)

    Of course, Bella (so slim and petite and such a lady!) is as beautiful as ever and The ipster is well, as handsome and dynamic as ever! I'm so glad I had a chance to HOLD him, altho he kept a watchful eye on the ladies room door, waiting for your return!!!

    Thanks for the Prego updates, guys. I'm planning to redo my kitchen so I appreciate the info!!! See what you started, Pam? Additional info!

    Buddy found out the same way (SPLAT) that we installed Pergo!!
    It's quite a site to see when he's in the kitchen and gets excited and slips all the over the place or when he can't get footing and just stands in one place spinning his wheels!! LOL!!!

    It's so nice to see Harlee with your group! Dog sitting is fun for us too because we get to see pics of then all together!!
