Sarah Proofing

Miss Sarah has way too much energy. She takes off running through the kitchen towards the dog door, changes her mind and applies "brakes" trying to stop ...leaving nail gouges in the new kitchen floor. She like to run around and around the kitchen slipping and sliding and skidding ...leaving nail gouges in the new kitchen floor. The new kitchen floor already looks like it has had years of abuse. So, I broke down and Sarah-proofed the floor. It is a mismash of area rugs, throw rugs and runners that don't even come close to matching and it is going to be a pain to clean --but the floor is protected. Maybe, just maybe she will calm down and I can go back to a nice runner that matches the kitchen. Maybe.
