i should either make a mattress or sweaters

Oct 4, 2024

I hate to admit this, but when I cleaned my bedroom yesterday, there was enough accumulated dog hair that I could’ve probably filled a mattress. Mr. Pesky suggested I make dog hair sweaters for Perry and Ben.

When I had a big bedroom in Seymour, I don’t know how many times I said, “I don’t care anything about a big bedroom… all you do is sleep in there.” Now that I have a much smaller bedroom, I’m here wishing it was larger.

So what’s the average size for master bedroom?

The average size is 14’x16′ in the US — or 224 square feet. I’m short 28 square feet! That doesn’t sound like much, but it’s YUGE! 🙁

Put a king bed, a couple dressers, and a dog bed in there and it’s packed. The upstairs bedroom here is supposed to be the master… not the one I’m sleeping in. Upstairs, the bedroom is actually bigger than average, but the brown hound simply can’t navigate stairs — especially these.

Is your master average? Smaller? Larger? Do you care?

If you don’t care, your master is likely average or larger — OR you don’t have a king sized bed — OR you don’t have two big dogs that think they’re people.

Now you know: The bubbles that whale flatulence generates are about the size of a watermelon. The unpleasant odor of whale farts has been described by observers as “a combination of herring breath and the funk of rotten salad.”
