Pam, you can still hang clothes on it, right? Get this...my son and wife had a treadmill and they actually used it, too, for exercising I mean, not a clothes hanger thing. Lightening came in the house not too long ago and not only took out their computer, but it TURNED ON the treadmill and it was FOLDED UP leaning against the walk and running. My DIL was alseep and thought she heard something and smelled smoke...she ran into the computer/workout room and sure enough, it had burned up the motor and was on fire.

LESSON: UNPLUG ALL EQUIPMENT WHEN NOT IN USE!

AND get a dog bigger than THEIR dog...JJ
