Rain = Muddy dogs

Our dogs have cabin fever. They've been pacing the front and back doors watching the birds and squirrels with anxious interest.
Ruby couldn't stand it anymore and started whining to go outside. I let her out ... you know ... in case she had to potty.
She went out and then came back in covered in mud and then proceeded to jump on the couch.

I thought... "no problem". Our couch has fabric that you can take off and wash and that was one of the selling points for us. So Brian and I take off the cover and ignore the 'dryclean only' tag and throw it in the wash. And then panic set in as I tried to put the newly washed cover back on and low and behold - it was way too small. I hopped on Ikea's website to see how much a new cover would be and our couch (and it's covers) have been discontinued!

A couple of hours later and some frantic searching on ebay, I found out that I tried to put the cover on the wrong pillow and had I put the right cover on the right pillow ..... it would have fit.

**sigh**
It's been one of those days...

Here is Ruby's "I'm sorry" face:
