Microsuede Comforter Set and a Cocker Spaniel?

In my thoughts of moving my bedroom around, I have been drooling over a more casual comforter set at Walmart. I have a nicer set on the bed but it is dark and in my own thoughts depressing. I only got it at Belk after the original one came apart at the seams. They replaced it and it did it again so they talked me into this one.

So this is the one I'm drooling over!

and this is OReilly!

I am scared to even think of purchasing because of dog hair!

Any thoughts appreciated! I don't want to look at my bed and think Ooh! Dog Hair!

Thanks

    Aww, how cute. The dog and the hair will blend right in. I say go for it, it's only a bedspread and think how much he/she (and you) will enjoy it. Really, it should clean easy being that it's microfiber.

    Hi Camarodreamer67

    If you can afford it buy two covers! Or a cheap spread
    to cover for your dog. I know super expensive.
    But your dog is more important.

    You will have beautiful memories of your dog not your bedding. You
    will remember the cuddling, the sweet kisses and the
    comfort your dog gives you after a horrific day. Your dog
    is only on the planet 10 short years or so. And if your
    dog is part of your family you won't even think twice about
    it.

    Are you a freak about hair? Then don't let the sweet
    dog on the bed. Cuddle her on her bed on the floor.
    My DH and DS do not like dog hair. I could care less but
    respect that they love our dogs from the floor not on the
    bed. I sometimes nap with my dogs and have a giant
    king size bed spread (cheap) that goes on the bed before
    my pooches go on top. DH is fine with this.

    By the way your dog is sooooo sweet looking.

    According to my DH's wisdom, you can always replace the comforter set but there's only one OReilly. Get the set you like and enjoy it! (And now that January is here, all of the stores will be having sales on sheets, towels, blankets, etc!)

    You are on the right track with colors. As long as the comforter is washable and not overly pricy, I say go for it.

    I place a flat sheet over my bedspread because it is quicker to wash than the spread.

    Keep in mind that a microsuede comforter will not breathe so it is very hot.

    While you're at Walmart, just pick up a few of the adhesive roller lint/hair brushes! And look around for a small cotton blanket, maybe, one that blends with the colors, if you think O'Reilly will, in fact, want to be up on the bed with you (just don't get a blanket that's fleece--there is no way to get dog hair out of fleece, I've found, not even in the washing machine.)

    Thanks so much for your wisdom! Not having him on the bed is not an option, we lost our Cocoa on Election Day. She would have been 15 this month. I am not a neat freak but wonder if the microfi er would be a hair magnet?

    On the same tune, if you were going to use this bedding with the bed in front of a window with a wonderful country setting what window treatment would you use? I occaisonally need to filter out the light if sh has to work all night and then sleep thru the day!

    Thanks
