2 large-ish dogs who loved to roll on their backs on the old sisal rug are super bummed it had to go... They are now thrilled that this one is vacuumable and I am thrilled it has enough pattern to slightly hide old vomit marks, yet simple enough to "go with" my other questionable rug choice of VERY large flowers... I'm totally a happy girl and should have ordered a back up.... For ya know.... The inevitable. (HOW do animals ALWAYS seem to know which rug is the newest when looking for a place to puke?!!) :)  

Pros: Pattern, but not TOO pattern-y. 
Cons: Thin ish, but, hey, I'll most likley be replacing it in a few months anyway...
