[LM_NET] WAY OT: Berber carpet and dogs

[MOLLY CLARK <mclark2@PHOENIX.K12.NY.US>]

I am embarassed to be posting this to this forum, but I don't know how
else to ask a large group of people.

We need to replace the carpet in our home and wanted a berber.  The
carpet salesman said that it's not good for homes with dogs because
their claws can get caught in it.  The berber was the most expensive of
our choices, so I suppose I should take the salesman at his word.  (why
would he talk us out of the more expensive carpet?)  But I am having
trouble believing him.  I don't know anyone who has Berber and a dog, so
I'm asking you.  Has anyone had personal experience and can you tell me
about it? We have a three year old beagle.

I know this is a trivial question in the grand scheme of things, so feel
free to click delete.

Thanks in advance,
