After many years we finally have a new sofa.

I really liked the old one and it didn't seem to be THAT old to me. But, it was worn out in many places, a good part due to our puppy who is now ten years old. What is it about dogs that causes the need to generally "dig a nest" before they lie down? Kobi also has a compulsion to rub his face all over the furniture after a bath or a particularly sloppy, wet drink of water. His face looks hilarious after that with hair poking out all over the place, let me tell you!

Julie did a good job in covering it up but the task was an ever-ending one. Once we decided to replace it, the old couch did look pretty sad and worn. We debated over a few different couches. All were leather except for the one we finally chose. It has a heavy ribbed brown and black fabric that feels durable. The cushions are quite firm. Leather seemed a bit cold to the touch and we were concerned about what Kobi might do to leather. We liked this brown one and it does look nice.

Our next projects will be the carpet and perhaps something to replace the recliners. The problem with replacing the carpet is that there are a few other projects that should be done before the carpet is changed. And then there IS the dog to consider. Kobi has been and is still a wonderful and loving companion. He is more important to us than our things but he does necessitate the delay of certain upgrades. As it is, you see the photo of the new couch? The photo with the rabbit on the floor in front? The couch doesn't look like that. It has a protective blanket over the seat cushions. Oh well.... ;o)
