We even tried putting a fake grass runner through the workshop that they have to go through to come in.

It helped BUT the shop was a giant mess.

We have a paw washer.....it works sort of. It gets the worst of the mud out of Delilahs paws but trying to wrestle 4 dogs doesn't work for this old lady.

Is that the thing that you plunge their paws into?

I miss my dog......I would love to still have his muddy paw prints in the house.

Awww
I like to complain, but I’m sure I would miss them too.

Yes. It has silicone "fingers" in it to help. It would be easier if there were just 4 feet to clean. Having to dump, rinse and refill between dogs makes it just for Delilah. I just cannot wrestle all four into submission.

I would miss the daylights out of mine.

I definitely don't complain about the footprints. I just mop.....a lot.

You need another one.
It would make your heart feel good.
One dog never takes the place of another, there’s infinite space in your heart for more.

Mopping. And vacuuming.
I sweep every day.
I vac twice a week.
I do serious mopping once a week.
I bought one of those swiffer flat mop thingys, that you put the wet pad on.
I would never use it to clean my whole floor. It would take a whole box and then some!
But they are quick and easy to just run over their tracks with.

I got the kind that has a velcro micro fiber pads.
They are good for light spot cleaning but need rinsed a lot if I am cleaning mud.

We are actually looking at a breeder in Lima OH. She breeds red and Apricot Standard Poodles . She and her hubby are retired school teachers and they raise the puppies in their home, around kids and grandkids and other dogs and cats. They are good people and don't over breed their dogs. They also have been certified for hips, eyes and VonWillibrands disease ,which is very common in Standard Poodles. I think they will be a perfect fit.
We have always had Standard Poodles and have always had black or white , they were all from the Akron Oh area. This time we wanted something a little different, still a Standard Poodle but different color and different area. They will have their next litter in late winter so we would get our puppy in the spring. That sure seems a long ways away but I know it will be here before we know it

Cream Puff was a new chicken when eggs were offered! LOL Her and Gladys shared 3 eggs scrambled for breakfast. Gladys wasn’t so sure about sharing but there was no pecking. Then Cream Puff went to stand by her and preen.
I was worried enough to buy mackerel. Neither of them ate it. I guess I have to feed them by hand if it’s something I really want them to eat. I’ll try again but eeewwww.
Everyone else here seems good. I’m waiting for Texas time and calling the lab that can do testing on live birds. I’ll let you all know what I come up with.

Sable is throwing a fit this morning.

No walk yesterday has resulted in a dog that is going between chewing the front door knob and howling at me.


Funny as heck but also meaning walks are NOT optional.
