Dogs And Kids


Liner guys - how do dogs affect your sales??



funny how a 100 lb animal can wreck a $50K job


couple years ago - it'd seem like EVERYTIME i got to someone's house - they'd have this damn golden retriever just lunkin around, tearin up stuff

"well we're a bit concerned that [insert dog's name here] will tear the liner"


(and they're saying this as the dog is eating the couch)

Re: Dogs And Kids


Remindes me of the time the guys just finished the last coat of poly on 2000 ft of hardwood floor on a new home . The door was open when the owners drove up with their two goldens who always ran through the house first thing. Owners paid for everything but what a mess!

Re: Dogs And Kids


I love dogs but....
I tell everyone to keep their dog out or they will have a tough time keeping the pool clear.
When they hear one dog going in the pool has puts the equivalent amount of organics in the water as 50 bathers they keep them out or we upsell salt chlorine generators ( Ray) and they are more reasonable when the pool is messier than their friends who don't let their dogs in.
