Do You Have a Spoiled Pet?





How Much Time Does Your Pet Spend on the Couch?



Pets are such a blessing in most cases. We've all heard horror stories or, thanks to social media, seen the devastation a pet can create in a house. Anyone who has a housebroken pet knows that there are certain things that can happen when they are away or, perhaps, not looking for a few minutes. One of those things is that pets like to sit on the furniture in their home. Either it doesn't bug you or it does, but either way you believe, the wear and tear that pets can put on your furniture is undeniable.



Cats or Dogs, They All Have Claws

Whether you have a cat or a dog, your furry companion comes with a set of claws that dig into the fabric of your sofa, loveseat, recliner, and other upholstered items. As for wooden items, those claws can make them groovy and not in a good way, if you catch what I'm laying down. If your pet is well mannered, this isn't really something you have to worry about. However, for the most of us, this problem means that furniture can wear out faster than if we didn't have cats that treated couches as scratching poles. I'm not knocking cats, but I've personally never had a cat that didn't scratch things up. (I'm looking at you, Mr. Pickles...)

After human and the additional animal wear and tear, the padding becomes exposed or the leather begins to tear and eventually the item becomes an uncomfortable eyesore. Replacing furniture prematurely is an expense that can really hit you right in the bank account. 


It's a bad thing when you have to replace your furniture prematurely. However, every cloud has a silver lining. In this case, the House of Furniture has a great selection of furniture for sale that won't break the bank. Unexpected expenses are mitigated by our in-house financing offers. With an extensive range of styles, you are sure to find something that fits your ideas. We invite you to visit us online so that you can browse our items in the comfort of your own home.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all...

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Image
Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than other...
