I've been wanting to install pet-friendly hardwood floors in our home, especially since we got our Shih Tzu pup about 5 years ago. We've been good at keeping our carpets pretty clean since we moved into our home about 20 years ago, but the carpets have gotten significantly less clean since we got our dog—it's very hard to keep carpeting looking good when you are a dog owner!

Comfy Whisper by Therapedic Cooling Foam Cluster Pillows Review
Thanks to Therapedic for sponsoring this post. I received free product in exchange for my review. For me, nothing is as luxurious and comfortable as settling into bed at night with crisp, clean sheets and big fluffy pillows.
