I couldn't resist commenting on Mark Pendl's posting. My boxspring was the first thing Beau and Nilla anniliated after they came home with me. I would patch one hole and they would make another. Duct tape worked but it looked terrible. Finally, I bought a plastic mattress cover and put it on the boxspring (put in on so it's on the bottom of the boxspring). Then I taped it tight with crystal clear packaging tape (works great). As they make a hole now, I just cover it up with clear tape. When they wiped out one plastic cover, I bought another one and just put it over the old one. I just dread the day I move and the boxspring is exposed. Dee Beau & Nilla [Posted in FML issue 2135]
