If you’re going to have dogs, you’ve got to have polar fleece.  We use it folded up for dog beds and as “throws” to cover our upholstered furniture when it’s just us at home and the dogs have free run of the house.  The dogs don’t seem to want to rip it apart as they occasionally have done with other bedding.  It launders quickly, is inexpensive, doesn’t fray and comes in an array of colors and patterns.  Finley is modeling two different fleeces on the sectional sofa and we’re using a lot of it out in the barn with the puppies and in the big dogs’ kennel spaces.  Whoever invented this faux-fabric was brilliant.
