Wood vs Dogs

Tonight the wood floor shopping commenced, and it very quickly became laminate floor shopping. Everyone seems convinced that dogs and laminate are a better suit than dogs and wood. We found exactly what we wanted in wood floors but in a laminate version. I'm still not convinced I even want laminate, cause it's laminate and that's a dirty, dirty word. But it's Mohawk and supposed to hold up better than wood then I guess that's what we will need to get. Or we could get rid of the dogs. Oh, and ripping up and hauling away all this ugly pink tile is going to be SO WORTH $2 a square foot!
