Parquet flooring.

Those of you with parquet/laminate flooring, how do you get on with it?
As some of you know we are decorating and having new carpet put down. So today we have taken up the old carpet. underneath is parquet flooring.
I am already fed up of hearing tap tap tap as Pepsi gallops across it and every time she jumps off the coach or makes a sharp turn she is like Bambi on ice
I shall be glad to get the carpet back down.

We had laminate put down at the other house after losing Max but as soon as we got Ollie we put large rugs down to stop him slipping. This cottage has laminate flooring and tiles in the kitchen we again have large rugs down to save Dillon's legs. Even without dogs I think I would need a rug at least.

I think I would too.
Brian and I stood back and looked at it this afternoon and both said how cold and bare it looked.

I've got laminate in the kitchen, if I've got babies in there then vet bed goes down or newspaper under puppy pads by the utility door. Big girls manage OK unless they are in a rush, I'm not a fun because heard so many stories of nasty injuries to dogs, so have carpet in the living room

Its nice for a hot summer but in the winter I always feel I need some form of carpet or rug down.
Gorden's mum and dad had parquet flooring in a hall of a house they lived in now that looked nice and didn't a rug or carpet.

Lol Twix.
I have heard those stories too TW and I can understand them when I see how Pepsi's legs are going tonight.
She has taken herself to bed now, I think even she is fed up with it

I have parquet flooring all the way through then downstairs never had a problem with it and nor have the dogs. Would not go back to carpet ever, the dogs have never had a problem .
