Hide Rug Yea or Nay?

I've been wanting to buy a hide rug for a while, but my animal-loving inner voice kept saying,

"Don't do it."
But in a weak moment. . . . . I bought one.

Originally, I wanted to layer it over our family room rug, but we added a four-legged

family member who made me change that.

We recently adopted a yellow lab, Bella, and we love her.  But, she likes to chew.

Her most recent munch was on our newly slip-covered chairs in the family room.

Here's her picture.  Isn't she cute?

 I went from place to place trying to get the right spot , until I realized that the best location  was our sun room because it's off-limits to dogs.

I layered it over my sisal rug. It looks perfect!

What do you think about hide rugs?
