I laughed at many of these, but all addressed concerns..paws in paint, inhaling or eating paint...I think Ritz will have an "issue" with anything we change in our house - I bought a new area rug and she walked around the perimeter of it for about 3 days....now it is her favorite lounging spot.

I imagine this project will be "stretched out"...probably paint first, then carpet...ought to be interesting.

Sorry for my delayed thank you - we had a thunderstorm that burned out my internal modem....grrrrr
