Sad, Sad Sun-porch Sofa, your bouncy, buoyant cushions were once beloved by humans… until you went to the dogs.
Last December, the Newf discovered your firm support yet soft, supple, cradling effects. And when your cottony fabric was pushed to extremes by the looming weight of our lounging dog, your seams split under the privacy of an impotent couch cover. Your deflated spirit was evident and inconsolable. Your white, fluffy-filler goodness bled into the room only to be toyed with by torturous beast-cats.
The cover removed, your faded shell lay splayed open like a dying Taun Taun on Planet Hoth. (Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back fans, anybody?) Our Jedi cat discovered the warmth of your exposed, cottony fill, as did his brother-friend Jackson, much to Jed’s dismay. And the humans watched your slow death with pained desire for a world of comfort which exists for them no more.
Oh, Dear Sofa, what does your future hold? Will your shapely form be recast in fabric by a brand new Singer machine? Can your bountiful fluff, since scattered to all four corners of our dwelling, thrive internally once more?
We shall see, dear Sofa. We shall see…
Couch
What the Dog Destroys, the Cat Employs

Love it! Nothing goes to waste!
We’re all about recycling here.
If you know anyone with a sewing machine, that looks like it could be fixed fairly easily. Might want to consult a seamstress or upholsterer. ;D
I do know somebody with a sewing machine. Me. And I kept saying,”One day,I’ll fix that.” The day just hasn’t come yet.
It seems as though you should let the Newf have this one…and the cat seems to be ok with that arrangement
I’m not sure it’s my job to “let” one or the other have anything. I’m pretty sure they’ve worked it all out for themselves. LOL.
Ha ha, that is one happy kitty
The purrs are never ending.
Hi Kim, I’m Anne from Life on the Funny Farm (http://annesfunnyfarm.blogspot.com) visiting from the Pet Blogger Hop.
This was too funny. Quite the writer you are! Great pics.
It’s nice to “meet” you. I hope you can pop over to my blog and say hi sometime if you get the chance.
Woof! Woof! Oh A Happy Cat. Golden Meows. Happy Blog HOP Saturday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Thanks, Sugar. Same to you!
Awww, well at least the troublemaker is an adorable kitty
Not sure he’s the troublemaker. I so blame the beastly (but cute) dog. I think the cat is just an opportunist (albeit a cute opportunist.)
Absolutely priceless.
Sure, if you don’t count the cost of the couch. ;P
Wonderful! We’ve lost a sofa (or 2) to our pets!
Ah, camaraderie. Thank you. Validation is a salve to this forlorn soul.
Awwwww, hi kitty! Koly & Fe have similar relationship. Koly destroys things and Fe snuggle up in them.
Oh, so this is the just the natural order of things? I get it. Now I can relax and simply accept it.
This is hilarious! At least your cat is using what the dog destroyed. Ours just work together to wreak havoc.
Then I wish you well in your very own combat situation. We had sleepy weapons under cover of darkness when most infiltration occurred here.
It’s like an ad for recycling.
Aw. The sofa’s loss is the kitty and doggie’s gain! Happy Saturday.
