We are sadly now in a position to replace our flooring after our last two dogs made the trip across the rainbow bridge. You have touched on several issues I doubt the salespeople would have pointed out. I appreciate your honest evaluation of each choice. As dog lovers, we proudly lived with the low-quality carpet the previous owners installed throughout the house. The delay in replacing it at first was one of our dogs hated to walk on bare floors, and we wanted the entire first floor to be all hardwood. We were making some progress with the fear when both dogs developed medical conditions that caused damage to our floors from acidic stomach fluids for one and the other had the occasional explosive diarrhea due to the surgical removal of 60% of his small bowel. Our ugly carpets were the public expression of our love for our doggies.
