Well, I had recently took my old area rug out and wanted to keep only the wood floors in my living room. Turns out that I need a rug until the old dog dies. Poor guy keeps slipping and falling on the floor and has a real hard time getting up from lying down on it. He likes to sleep on the cool floor.

Anyway, I figure I'll get a cheap rug from Sears/Kmart for now. I find this one:

Nice right?

Well it's not 6' across. Damn them for false advertising. I can't even use it as it is because it's way too small and just won't work.

It's 5' 3". Now wtf am I to do with a tiny rug like that? It looks ridiculous in the living room and is too small for the dogs to bother with once the thing is in place and the tables too. I'm very disappointed.

I gotta bring it back to Sears now, which is easier than return shipping and I just may hit that giant Home Depot tent sale they got going on now. Some nice rugs in there and they ARE the size they claim. We were browsing Sunday.

Let the dogs piss on it before you take it back.

Shit, I got one of those braided round rugs out in the garage that's like brand new that I'm gonna shove in the garbage bin....probably today.

how big is it? what color? gimme a pic. I'll pay postage if i like it

P.S. - cat piss would be stinkier

A christ, I'd have to go measure it, unroll it and all that shit. It's blue.
It's pretty heavy too, one of those cheap round braided things, postage would be a killer.

forget it then. No big deal.

It is a nice rug except for the fact that it's too small.

Home Depot and Lowes have pretty nice rugs

Yeah, we're going to hit the Home Depot over the weekend I think. I just want something cheap so the poor dog doesn't keep falling down.

Some of that stuff off the big roll at home depot is actually pretty good stuff.
