Saturday Showing






Today we are going to show you another of the new items at our home.  

Mom has always used a plastic runner to protect the edge of the carpet and the floor from our muddy feet.  But that runner had pointy teeth that scratch the floor.  We had to use the one with the pointy teeth so that the runner would stay put on the carpet or else Mom would slide and fall.

Now we have this new carpet runner that was custom made.  It is four feet wide and 18 feet long.




 When Mom was selecting the new carpet for the rest of the house, she met the man who does the binding on area rugs.  Guess what?  He has a Siberian too.  He told Mom he could make her a custom-sized runner with a special binding that would hold the runner in place on both the carpet and the floor.  He has muddy feet issue at his home too:)


 So Mom found a salvage remnant of carpeting that wasn't too dark or too light and that was the right size.  The best part is that it was very reasonably priced.  The nice man and his wife cut the remnant into two pieces, seamed them together, put on this special backing, and then bound the runner.



 We all think this new runner is very comfy.  Phantom can often be found napping on it.



 Here we are showing you the special backing.  If any of you ever want to do something like this, the backing is called Teebaud.  Mom is very excited about her new runner.



 We like to think of it as our runway.  Ciara is going to model for us today.


AND HERE SHE IS - - - - MISS SIBE-AMERICA!!!!!




Mom, you are just being silly.  But I don't care as long as the grand prize is some yummy treats.


One last thing - Ciara wanted to show you that she has had no problem mastering her maneuvers under that table we showed you the other day.



Does this look comfortable to you?  This spot has now become Ciara's favorite napping spot.

Woos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning

  2. We had a runner in the hall on the tile. Mom liked it because t kept the tile dry. We liked to get a running start and make it slide across the tile.

    Our Mom can't believe the crazy positions we get ourselves into to sleep. She says she wouldn't be able to stand up or move after sleeping in those positions. No problem for us.

  8. Don't you just love people who have a great idea to solve a problem for you and it really works!

    The runner is lovely and you will really enjoy it this winter, I bet.

    Ciara sleeps fine wherever she parks it and looks good too.

  9. Oh we love your own runway....perfect for taking that long dash to the door when you see something in your yard that shouldn't be there. Comfy spots always seem weird to peeps.....mr Reilly's is always laying behind mom rocking chair.

  24. OMD! Teebaud? We're running to look that up immediately!! We have a horrible problem with one of our "feet wipers" at our Florida house and this may be the answer to our prayers. Every time we walk on the feet wiper it shimmies across the carpet and ends up sideways or it moves left or right. It sure don't say put where it is supposed to. It drives Mommy CRAZY! We think it's kind of funny to watch her constantly bending over to move the feet wiper back into place. That's her daily exercise. Does it REALLY stay in place on your carpet? Off to do some research on it now.

    Hugs,

  26. Ciara you should go to a talent-show, it looks like the great "houndini". I wish we had such a "non-flying" carpet too, ours slips always till timbuktu when I come in.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Say, that runner is fabulous! Perfect for its purpose and it looks like everybody is happy with it....how nice the carpet guy was able to do that for your Mom. I agree that it looks like Ciara has NO PROBLEM adjusting to the table behind "her" couch. HAHA Happy Sunday to you!

  41. Great ideas for runners. When our dogs get elderly, we need to do something so they don't slip on our hardwood floors. I bet I'll be coming back to this someday!

    And, yes, Ciara, that looks very comfy to me!

  47. That is a great idea. Unfortunately, we don't have a runway at our estate. Just open the door and there you are. Truth is, though, my Master makes a lot more dirty prints than I do, so I'm not bothered.
