New Pet Storage
Well, it has been 2 weeks now since Grampy gave us his “hand me down” television. It is a doozie of TV. It is so big actually that we had to buy a whole new entertainment center for it. A few weekends ago we went furniture shopping to find something to go in the living room. We hunted all over when we finally landed at IKEA. At IKEA we settled for the “million piece, you assemble at home if you can follow the pictures” model. Between moving the old entertainment center and filling the new one, it took a full 2 weeks to get the living room back in order.
One of the reason we liked this entertainment center so much was that it had a lot of storage. You can see that the cat thought that it was a new bed and play house built just for her. She is always anxious to lend a helping paw.
Now that it all assembled you can see what those drawers are actually used for.
The treats actually are kept in the kitchen.
Yes, almost the whole entertainment center is used for doggy accoutrement. There is a drawer for collars & harnesses, another for leashes and 2 for costumes. Yet another drawer is dedicated to ear cleaner, eye drops, a nail grinder and teeth cleaning products. Goodness gracious, I think the pugs have officially taken over! You would think that Paris Hilton herself lived here and needed the extra “closet space”. On the bright side, everything is now in one central location instead of scattered all over the house in crevices of storage here & there.
You may also notice that we stuck to the pug colored décor. This is always beneficial to limit the showing of dog hair!
As far as the pugs’ opinions, well, they don’t even seem to notice. Benny is a little overwhelmed watching TV with us more so than before. He gets particularly anxious and barky when we watch Greatest American Dog and It’s Me or the Dog. Those now life size pups are a real “threat” to his home. He also isn’t too fond of the Nasonex Bee or the Geico caveman. Those commercials always get a few puffs from him.
