Anyone have Pergo floors?

[Pam]

I have heard that the Pergo will "lift" if it is repeatedly exposed to water. For that reason one has to be careful when things spills. I had it put down this summer in my kitchen and powder room and the hallway leading to the powder room and am very careful to get up drips, etc. quickly.

The one notable thing, when you have dogs in a house with Pergo, is that it is very slippery. When I walk on mine with socks it feels like walking on glass. It took Bella and Ripley a day or two to get used to it and then they learned how to navigate on it. My granddog, Harlee, is here for several days and has been having quite a hard time. When she gets excited and walks too fast she goes *splat* and believe me, when a 90 lb. dog goes *splat* she goes down quickly. I was so worried about her that I have temporaily laid an old green comforter on the floor which sort of leads through the kitchen to the back door so she can walk across easier on her way to go potty. It is rather unsightly but seems to be working. If she walks she is OK but running still means *splat.* Hope that helped.

Here is Harlee trying to come across the kitchen floor. You can see that her toes are spread out for *traction* and her tongue is sticking out a little. It is like watching someone who is walking across a balance beam and when they get to the end they race through those last two steps.
