What does every dog owner need? A dry-clean only Bedspread... NOT!

So, how many times have you gone to Walmart to buy something, and you come home with something totally different? This is not new for Lee and I, who once went to Walmart for something so simple like Toilet paper and came home with a T.V. I wish I could say I was lying.

So this is how our evening began. Lee and I were talking after having our dinner. We were trying to decide what we wanted to do for the rest of the evening. Since we have no kids, we are usually out and about going different places. When we are home we are relaxing around the house with our dogs, both thinking that they need our undivided attention. Each night before we go to bed, we watch an episode or two of friends. Since we have watched the series four or five times and have every episode memorized, we decided to go to Walmart and buy a season of King of Queens. So, off to Walmart we went.

When we got there we found that they didn't have what we were looking for. Lee started looking at other things, so I decided to mosey on over to the bedding. I was just looking, and somehow a bedding set ended up in my cart! I do have a good excuse though. A few years ago, Lee and I found a bedding set we really liked. We didn't buy it when we saw it and when we went back it was gone. We ended up going to 3 or 4 different stores to locate it and we ended up with just the comforter instead of the whole set. That's why I decided I should just go ahead and get it to avoid spending who knows how much in gas and wasting time trying to track it down. So we checked out, and went home.

When we got home we got the bed all made up, and then climbed in the freshly starched sheets. What a great feeling. Well as we are laying there, I said...."I hope this isn't a dry-clean only bedspread." Soon after that thought I fell asleep. This morning I woke up and looked at the tag and of course it reads "dry clean only". It wasn't 2 minutes later I could hear Syd doing his daily run down the stairs, through the family room, and the infamous leap onto the bed. He runs in circles before he plops down and makes himself right at home. This is a daily routine for Syd. If Lee isn't out of bed when Syd thinks he should be, then he starts growling at him. It's actually pretty funny.

So, I guess the moral to this whole story is......If you own a dog who loves to take over your bed, then it's probably not the best idea to buy a dry-clean only bedspread. As for me, I will just have to deal with it.
