We quit sitting in it when we realized the cats climb up into the works. This was years ago. We didn’t have a problem with them scratching it until Charlie came to live here. He’s really bad. Once he started the others followed suit.

We checked Mor furniture, but didn’t have anything at a price we liked (money is pretty tight right now). Then we hit Jerome’s. Brian hates Jerome’s (I have no idea why), but we ended buying a chair and footrest there. He had to go pick it up, he wanted me to go with him, but new fish were being released and I wanted to be on the top 100 first catches. (Another one of the reasons I figured it’s time to quit.) When he got home, he took the old one apart and put it in the dumpster and set up the new one. Marco was the first.
