Outsmarted by the Dog

We swapped out one of our couches this weekend. My beloved leather couches that I purchased in college have seen better days for sure.  The 3 seater couch apparently gave up at life this past year as giant rips appeared in both of the seat cushions. I tried to salvage them by taping up the holes with dark brown duct tape, which worked for a little while, but when it got to the point that I needed to duct tape the entire cushion I just gave up.  I told Eric that I would be happy just replacing the cushions, but unfortunately our couch is not made any more.  This is where having a husband in the furniture business comes in handy. One of his buddies got new furniture and no longer wanted their current couch.  We've been keeping it in the carport, and this past weekend we swapped it with our holey cushioned couch on Saturday.  Yes yours truly helped Eric haul the old couch out the front door around and around the side of the house to put in the carport, and did the same with the old couch to get it in the front door.  I am super woman, I tell ya.

The couch is Hawk's daytime bed because, well because he says so and we're not there to get him off of the couch.  As we were watching Olympics last night, Eric said that we need to try to keep off the new couch as much as possible so it doesn't rip like the old one did.  I laughed to myself and said one word, " How?"  He thought for a minute and decided he'd put a blanket on the end Hawk usually lays on.  This morning he tested his theory and this was the result.


Hawk - 1    Eric - 0

Happy Wednesday!
