Ok, that's what I wanted to hear!  I am owned by the original Blanket
shred-o-matic, who can ruin just about any blanket in the space of a few
days and I am mightily tired of buying blankets.  At this point I could have
built him a stall for the money I have spent on blankets and he is only six
years old.  I am going to order a couple of these!
