I couldn't help but laugh pretty hard when I read about your fuzzes and the hardwood. My boyfriend just bought a house and it has some icky carpet in the living room and dining room where Fidget has free run. New carpet will be coming soon - we hope anyway. But thanks to Fidget -he ripped some of it off the stairs- we know there is hardwood underneath. I'm lobbying to just get rid of the carpet. NOW I'm really really really hoping the floor is in good condition when the carpet comes up. heheheh, I've got all kinds of plans for that little devil of mine. Actually they involve sitting on the couch and watching him and the cat try to chase each other on hardwood! Whoohooo, now that's entertainment. I might be able to sell tickets! <G> of course I figure I should invest in some of those bumper pads like they have at bowling alleys for the little kids! cheers chris and Fidget -- Bacca's Menagerie www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/3230 [Posted in FML issue 2056]
