Furniture Emergencies can Happen in a Flash

Have you ever had a catastrophic accident that involved the decimation of an item of furniture in your home? I have actually had two occasions that ended with the premature need to buy some new furniture. One of the incidents is kind of embarrassing and the other one isn't so spectacular.

The mundane story is one that many people have probably experienced. My older sister had asked me to babysit a dog for her while she and her new went on honeymoon. I had told her that it probably wasn't a good idea because I did a lot of traveling for my job at the time and I could have to leave at a moment's notice. This statement may ruffle some feathers, but I have always been more of a cat person. However, I agreed because she claimed no one else could watch her dog. I'm not sure what kind it was but I couldn't believe that small of a dog could produce such a mess. As predicted, I had to travel for work, but I was able to pay someone who would come over and tend to the pooch while I was gone. 

The Dog and the Aftermath 

So, I left the dog in the hands of the third-string dog tender. When I returned home, both my sofa and loveseat had been torn to shreds. The trash can had been dumped and it's contents had been scattered. Also, the dog left piles of poop all over the place and tore up almost every one of the blinds covering my living room windows. At first glance, I was furious because I assumed the girl I had asked to tend the dog never came over. I had only been gone for three days and I couldn't believe the wreckage. After talking to the girl's mother, I found out that the girl (who was only 12 or 13 and her mother was driving her over to my place) had found the place in a state of chaos on the first day. Both of them cleaned it up some of the mess and the second day it was even worse. Her mother told me that they would both help me but she saw no point in trying to clean up the mess if it would just be made all over again. They told me they would help and I declined because it was absolutely not her fault. Anyway, needless to say, I was searching for a furniture store near me on the internet pretty quickly.

The Recliner Jump

The second story isn't so bad but it's embarrassing.  I had some friends over when I was younger and we were all in my room on my bed watching TV. I decided that I was going to jump onto the bed and jostle my friends. I ended up breaking the wooden bed frame so bad it was irreversibly ruined. There really isn't much else to the story except for my friends making jokes about it and I realized a grown-up should never jump onto a bed.
