We, of course, had a similar problem with one of our couches. I solved (?) it by making a drop cloth type thing over the couch, the cusions go over the drop cloth. I went to Factory 2U (seconds on clothes and towels and stuff) and got a couple sheets which I sewed together (pretty cheap). The other couch they had dug a whole in the bottom lining so back I went to Factory 2U to get another sheet which I doubled over and stapled (heavy duty). They haven't touched it yet! Does anyone have any info on breeding laws in Arizona. I was speaking with someone the other day and mentioned that I wanted to get a ferret that was not fixed when I bought it and have it fixed myself (around 6 months or so) and they thought that the laws in AZ prohibited selling ferrets unfixed. Any info? Pam and Ernie, Grover and Elmo Pamela K. Barber School of Forestry Northern Arizona University P.O. Box 15018 Flagstaff, AZ 86011 USA [Posted in FML issue 1022]
