She loves him soooooooo much 
I gotta say she impressed me. She wanted to break that down sooooooooooo bad. But she held it! Yay!
LOL! I just noticed there are white cat hairs on her.
I've been feeling sick since last Thursday. The last two days I've actually been hold up on the couch. Got everything I need. Big screen TV, Kleenex, wastepaper basket, my phone, my charger, bottle of water, my pillows, my robe, blankets, oh yeah and my dogs.
Friday night my husband asked if I was sleeping here and I said yep. I didn't want to wake him with all my coughing and stirring in the night. In the morning he said, did Kali sleep with you? I said, Of course!
And so did Buddy.

Thanks, you guys! At times they drove me nuts too! LOL they are not used to laying around and they missed our walks and exercise. In summer, I'm usually in and out of the house a million times with them . Buddy would stand there and look at me like, what the hell? Get up! Let's go! And I could do nothing but say, Go lay down. I feel bad specially since this has been going on so long. This morning I thought I would wake up feeling better but still don't feel like it's taken a turn for the better. Really been shity.I am so sorry..hang in there. It's so cute that your guardians are keeping watch over ya.

We can add to the paws pictures! I still do Rubie's nails twice a week... once they start clicking, I start losing my mind! We've just started building a house (YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY) and it's going to have dark hardwood throughout the main level. I will NOT have our beautiful new (slightly-over-original-budget) floors demolished by puppers.

Be careful and don't go too dark. The darker it is, the more it shows
I'll take some pics later kf what our very, very dark wood looks like after only ~9 months of living here and I'm super finicky about trimming the dogs nails. The medium stuff is holding up wayyyyyy better. Granted, the dark areas are also pine and the medium is oak, but still. My dad redid our dining room when I was a baby and just my walker going across it would scratch it and it shows dust like you wouldn't believe.Just something to think about

That's so awesome! My husband has built a few houses for us, also.
Super stressful but so so worth it at the end.
My last (I think) and current home...
This property took about 9 months to build from scratch. Hubby had to work at the same time as building to keep the income coming in too. You can totally get carried away with the 'budget!' Lol
Let me know how you get on

Have you considered vinyl laminate hardwood? Or just laminate hardwood? My main floor is hardwood and has been scratched during the puppy days but it's maple or birch wood. We're building the basement so that K can have some more access to the house and us. I picked out vinyl lam hw as it's quite a bit cheaper than hardwood (plus real hw can't handle the moisture of basements). It will also be a light shade. I've been assured it will stand up to the dogs nails and we nearly always have them done each week. K also stayed over at a house with laminate hw and it looked just like real wood and it stands up really well against all the dogs (with longer nails) that visit.

Our basement project confirms what I always knew about myself. I hate construction! Wayyyyy too many details to be managed. If you're not into that type of detail, it will be a PITA. Budgets are pointless - they are never honoured!

Oh, we know. Stella the bulldog was pretty rough on some areas of the hardwood in my BFs last house but her nails were outrageously long.

Lovely! We're still technically way under what we 'could' spend on a house but weren't finding anything for sale we liked and anything that was close would've cost a lot to get to where we wanted it so... build it was!
Have considered and decided it's not our thing. Maybe for a basement but not for our main level. And our budget NEEDS to stick because we'll run out of cash for our downpayment so really not an option!!!

That's an awesome house! I've only ever seen houses in London and found them to be dreadfully small compared to what I'm used to in North America. Yours looks more North American sized.

Ya that was an issue for me too. Would have preferred to match both floors but didn't want to lose the hw appeal of the first floor. It's better for resale value as well.

I have laminate hardwood. It looks like real wood but holds up so much better. No scratches from Drogon even though he runs from door to door and slams on the brakes sliding across the floor. I do keep his nails short but nothing else has scratched it so I don't think his nails would even if they were longer.
