Re: "...(a) house REQUIRES a dog to become "a home"

True words, Bill, but I have had it "up to here" with dirty floors, old carpeting, dog hair everywhere, and the ever-present "dog-home smell". Our dogs are most certainly housebroken, but now that they are getting older accidents tend to be more frequent (and sometimes very hard to find until one of us steps in a "wet spot"). Due to the smell we had to rip-out the carpeting in the spare bedroom last fall, this being the room where the dogs stay during the day, and it would be nice to be able to replace the carpeting w/o having to worry about it suffering the same (smelly) fate. In fact, I refuse to replace any of our carpeting until the last one passes. Abby is 18 now, and the Collies are both 8, so it's only a matter of time...

I realize that this sounds heartless but I have told Gayle in no uncertain terms that we will never have three dogs at the same time ever again. Sure, we will get another dog eventually once these pass on, but I want to fix the damn flooring, and enjoy it for awhile, before introducing another dog into the house. In other words, I want to come into my own home, take off my shoes, and enjoy the feel of clean, soft carpeting on my feet w/o having to worry about what I'm going to step-in (or on) for once in my life. And I would like to be able to walk through the house with my dress pants on w/o picking-up 2 pounds of dog hair on them. And I would like for our furnace filters to last for more than 2 months before becoming hopelessly plugged. And I would like to sit in my own damn chair and read my own damn book w/o having to get "de-furred" afterwards. Are these asking too damn much?

My sincere apologies for the rant, but I had a rather shitty day at work and when I came home just now I was welcomed by dirty dog paw-prints all over the entryway and kitchen floors, not to mention the fur that clung to my dry clean only pants as I walked up the stairs.....
