She's thrilled, absolutely thrilled! I can't keep her off of the sofa now. I set-up a new little bed on the good end of it for her and she's smitten I tell you, just smitten.
Being she not the "culprit" in this matter I'm not worried about her clawing it as she goes for the cardboard ramps (I have about 5 or 6 of them in the garage ready to go for her should she need a new one).
I must admit I too am "smitten" so to speak. It looks so much better!
I went to a furniture store the other day and they had one sofa for sell only, it was white with huge green stripes on it and it was actually a love seat being pawned off as a sofa. 
Thanks for you help and yes, cutting all of that old upholstery off and getting rid of that foam (only to expose nails that look like they've been worked over with a claw hammer) was a very good idea indeed.
I may go further with this. I have ordered a used book from Singer about how to reupholster things. It is an old book and apparently a good resource. Looks like it will tell me everything I need to know/do and it was less than $5.00!
Thanks again!!
