New Pergo- not old wood. You really can't kill Pergo. We'd have to get rid of both Labradors if you could.<BR/>2. We live on a mountain, not a hill. When it is finally warm enough outside without 6 feet of snow, he will be going either down or up, nothing is level. I would prefer he learns how to ride on level ground, and not going down a 3% mountain grade.<BR/><BR/>But, as a collector of antiques who would LOVE original wood floors, I would say no way. In that case I would make our little one learn in the garage.
