Heated floors did not make my dog happy
I filled her in on what was going on, and we collaborated to find a way to make Marko and her both happy with the outcome
The hardwood floors in our house have always been a source of tension between my wife and me. She enjoys walking around barefoot but dislikes walking on cold wood floors. While some people may have issues with the flooring, I never have. I wanted to show her how much I appreciated her as our financial situation improved over the years, despite the fact that we were never a wealthy family. In order to have heated floors installed, I contacted a local HVAC company and set up an appointment. I was looking forward to having my wife return from a business trip away from home to enjoy the new floors with me. The only thing I forgot was to include our dog, Marko. When it came to flooring, he preferred the cooler ones and avoided the heated flooring. In fact, he started to have accidents on the new floor and refused to lay on them. Since I cared so deeply about him, I knew I had to help in some way. As much as my wife enjoyed the newly installed heated floors, she couldn’t help but notice Marko’s odd behavior when she got home. I filled her in on what was going on, and we collaborated to find a way to make Marko and her both happy with the outcome. We settled on the idea of installing an unheated floor space for him to use inside the house. The solution eliminated the accidents, and everyone involved was relieved. Whenever I feel the urge to do something nice, I have to consider how it will make our dog feel!
