Got my new furniture…

Off Topic
  • … and put both the end table and coffee table together by myself! For me, this is a true accomplishment, as I can't read directions if my life depended on it, and then the accompanying diagrams always look like directions to a buried treasure that you'll never find in a million years.

    The leather chairs and the couch are fairing well with the cats. Only are female cat has jumped up on it and found it comfortable enough to nap on it. She sneezes a bit, and this morning I found sneeze mucus marks on the couch. Just a damp rag and a little wipe, and gone!

    All of our cats had their toenails trimmed just before the furniture delivery, and I will do their nails now once every week instead of once every two weeks. All I need now is a basenji to curl up on the couch with. That will come in time, when the time is right.

    My sister and brother in law are coming over later this afternoon to help install the stereo and tv into the new entertainment unit. I know my limits, and hooking up electronics is no where in my job description, so best left to an expert.

    I swear I am going to be in bed tonight by 8 p.m. All that laying on the floor, screwing things in, lifting things too heavy for me to lift, etc., have done me in. Well maybe it will be good because we are planning a family pizza night. I can count the furniture assembly as extra activity.

  • Best thing to do is put a throw on the seat cushions… that is what I do... takes care of Basenji "nesting" and/or cat sneezes...gggg

    I second Pat's suggestion. Takes care of throwing up too. Buddy digs on the couch like there's a steak under it :D

  • LMAO. Why do animals want to dig all the darn time? Our cats dig at everything..and I don't mean sharpening their nails, I mean digging like they will get through to the other end :)

  • We have leather furniture and it's so practical to be able to wipe it down when you have animals.
    Congrats putting the furniture together and enjot that Pizza ;)

    @Janneke: A smart thing to do! I'm also thinking about a kennel name, but I first want a female at home.. It's pretty expensive to register a name :rolleyes: In Sweden it cost about 250 Euro to register the name. I got my name from the 1/12 2010 so its not that old. But it has taken over a year to get it approved by both FCI and SKK (Swedish kennel club).

    @Kipawa: Sounds like you will be really busy later this summer/fall. I have seen pictures of the boats that people live on in the Netherlands - it looks like quite an interesting lifestyle. I assume your basenjis are fine with it. Good luck in finding your special cat. :) There are two types of living on a boat :) People that live on a boat that can't sail anymore. (they put it in a harbor and live there) We live on a ship (we can't call it a boat :cool: ) that sails every day. We load our ship with material (like corn or coils of steel) and sail untill we are at the place to unload. We load the same weight that 40/45 trucks can load ;) It's a weird lifestyle, every night we walk the doggies on a different spot and every day they meet new dogs and people.. And we are always at home with them.. that's a great thing!

    my dogs also do that. I think Gromit can find out which cream you are using by the taste of it. Regards, Esther

    that is really sad.. especially how some didnt have paws… how could you not notice that.. i guess with 800 dogs.. you overlook them ? idk.. i was watching animal cops or something liek that on animal planet the other night and a woman had like 90+ dogs and pups in her house.. they told her she could keep like 2 or 3 whatever the law was.. and she hid a bunch behind dryers and stuff, but they still found them.. that was 90 and a HOUSE.. and that was crazy.. i cant even begin to imagine what that trailer looked.. and SMELLED.. like.. :(
