No they're not. I don't want dog hair everywhere, and they are really ok with it. One is too short to jump onto the furniture, and the other one knows he shouldn't be sneaks up there when he can. Neither of them go upstairs, and have been trained not to. They both shed a lot, and they spend a lot of time outside, so I don't want them where my family sits or sleeps. I think that's being hygenic, not precious.

Grege Ave was first, followed by Spanish Olive. I was in good company!

We just had our kitchen redone and did our island in unpolished (honed) carrera marble. It wasn't a tough decision for us, and I'm glad that this contributor noted that honed doesn't etch as easily as polished does.

We went back a forth a bit before making our final choice, and along the way someone mentioned that marble has been used all around the world for thousands of years, and some of the most beautiful buildings still have marble steps and furnishings that have stood up for centuries. That was all the confirmation I needed. I didn't want a perfect kitchen, just a beautiful one. Very happy with our choice.
