The floor has landed.

Yes, it's true. We have our wood floors. I am so excited! They look wonderful. And everything is dusted and put in it's rightful place. (It was a family affair. How fun!) The only drawback seems to be the dogs response to them. They don't quite know what to think. The tappity tap tap of their toenails on the wood seems to freak them out.

In a HUGE way.

They're practically dancing across the floor. And they haven't figured out how to get traction to jump on things. Which isn't a bad thing. Elwood has it the worst. He is afraid of everything and all these strange sounds coming from his foot area is scaring him to death. He keeps leaping and running and that sound keeps following his feet wherever he goes. (He's been a wonderful source of entertainment but I hope this passes soon.)

I will have to post some pictures as soon as I get a chance. I'll try to capture "dog" expressions too.

Too funny about the dogs. I have a friend who had to put old rugs every where the dog went because she couldn't get traction and was knocking her hip out of joint. The things we do for love--and dogs. I know you are glad you have your new beautiful floors. Blessings, annie

Oh, poor doggies! Our dog can't get traction on the tile floor in our entryway and when he tries to run sometimes his legs are moving but he isn't. He looks like a cartoon dog.

Your new floors sound gorgeous!

Thanks for the comment at my blog. I know I haven't posted all week. It's a combination of procrastinating getting my Etsy shop set up ( I want to post about it as my 100th post and I am at my 100th post!) and I've had a nasty cold all week that has just wiped me out. I will hopefully get myself together this weekend and will bet back to posting regularly! Thanks again!
