@KellKats Did we say something someone didnt like??? Dont remember doing that but who knows how something was taken. I would think people would be interested if they also have pets. Also...I just saw by another poster that she said her sheets from last year shed really badly. Not sure I'm gonna take the plunge on these (but if I did I woiuld get the penguins...mostly because its the only color I could work into my stuff).

I am starting to wonder, maybe we did?! well okay, whatever. I am still undecided but thinking not. I like them, but like Susan just posted, I like somewhat of a completely solid color sheet - My old fleece ones are just completely white, but they are getting pilled badly (after a few years' use) and like anything white, they are getting a little discolored.

Now I'm trying to remember what I said that might have been offensive??? Whatever, is right!! I love the white ones too but with one chocolate lab there is no way I'd buy white sheets...

MTH: You have been waffling back and forth over these adorable sheets. I say to go for it! I have not had any pilling problems at all.

The dogs and you will love them and you will get hair on your sheets anyways if the dogs get near the bed.

I think I decided on the penguins...they are too cute! I just saw the penguins at the Georgia Aquarium so this will be my homage to them!

I want the blue and white quilt they showed on the bed. Love it. Now going to have to go thru my quilt books to see if I can find the pattern for the block or something similar, as if I don't have enough in my head.

Have 2 going at this time so really need to finish up one so I can devote all my time to the other.

@MTH, I have a 90 lb double coated hound dog that sheds like mad, and sleeps on the bed, and I've had no more hair with the Polar Fleece than any others, as to what comes out in the wash. Maybe it depends on the type of coat.

Every surface in my house is a hair magnet, it seems (I also have a 100 lb dog of the same type but she doesn't get on the bed). Once I had to have a procedure done with a scope down my ear and the doc said: "Do you have a black dog with short hair?". He found a hair down there.
@Sweetbay magnolia: LOL what a great story. My dogs have free run of our house and are all over the place including the bed. My pups are both labs with a double coat too so even tho their hair is short, it seems to always be everywhere. Guess I could try a set and see what happens. Thanks for the info and thanks for a great chuckle. Only a dog lover would appreciate that story!
MTH - We have 2 labs too (yellow/black) and they are shedding like mad now! plus we have 4 kitties. One thing is guaranteed - there will ALWAYS be hair everywhere I look in the house!! lol
@KellKats I knew I liked you Kel.,..Lab lovers stick together. Guess these sheets are probably not for us Huh??
I like you too MTH! they are our babies and as much as I complain about cleaning the hair around here, I can't imagine not having them!! they are our babies ! - I do have some fleece sheets that are from BBB (we live in WI so COLD winters!!) that are getting pretty old and I believe they were from Berkshire. Let's just say I own a lot of lint rollers in this house!!
@KellKats I should have stock in link rollers. Whoever invented those loves our house. They are our babies too. In fact, I think we bought this house just for them...big yard and a pool. Are you gonna try these sheets???
MTH - I am deciding yet. I really like the penguins or the angels, but I have not made up my mind yet. which ones are you interested in?

I love the penguins but I think I'm gonna sit these out. I just went crazy and ordered 3 of the porcelain bells and I just don't have a good feeling about these and the dog hair. Honestly, I don't mind the dogs in the bed, so there is no way these will escape the hair and I don't want to have their hair getting stuck in the fleece all the time. Of course, they have a very limited lifespan where I live in Florida so I don't think they would get used all the often. The angels scare me because of the white background. I usually use darker color sheets or a light pattern to hide as much as possible. Let me know what you decide. You will get more use out of them where you live.

@Just Plain Crazy I saw that quilt too.; Very pretty. I'm sure you could make one just as nice if not nicer!

I do too but that will depend on how expensive they are when they finally appear.

I am so disappointed to see they won't be on today (according to jill's FB), but then again who knows... i wrote that number down so I will be stalking it! lol They would work well with my woodland theme and I have a couple of white foxes i got from Pier 1 a couple years ago that they would look nice with - i NEED them!
