The end of an Era. The pink chaise lounge had seen better days, so off to the dump it goes. The arm was about half falling off, and just, yuck. I did save the cushions, which make a nice dog bed, until they don’t. Johnny claimed the futon first, and then I shooed him off to put the pillow and throw on. Jane preferred it with the green throw. No one has tried the cushions on the floor yet.


I like futons because I can change the covers and wash them. I also put a waterproof mattress cover over the futon mattress before putting the cover on, for easier clean up of accidents. Let’s face it, I like futons because it’s easier than a chair to share with a dog.
