Love for Pets and Carpets

Since the last three years or so of our lives, we have been surrounded by pets. They make a mess, they're hungry, thirsty, need brushing, housing. They make a mess in the yard and in the kitty litter. They cost, but we love them.
Tonight, I went to Target, to get additional carpets for the floor, so my engineered cherry hardwood floor would not be destroyed, unintentionally of course. Even though, we bought a scratching post for Moonshine, Deborah's cat, it is just not enough. She roams our floors, and I had some slippery cheap carpets all over the hallways, that kept moving under our feet. Being aware that falls are a common, tragic occurrence among older people, I wanted to make sure that we don't slip on one of these throw carpets. A broken hip for the elderly can mean death according to one doctor I spoke with. The last thing we need is for someone to break a leg or a hip, while trying to protect our floor. I got some really cool wool carpets and runners made of Jute (please don't ask me what that is, but it seems like a natural fiber) Of course not many of my carpets match, because the ones on sale are generally limited. The colour in one, reminded me of Deborah's vibrant personality, and I just had to have it. There I go again, impulsive shopping at Target. I hope the Lord will forgive me. My husband didn't seem to mind, as he knows we will have many years of valuable use out of them, if the Lord tarries.
