I don't think Butch and Kadi are any happier than I am about the paw-wiping, but we've all learned to deal with it.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-46868827256289683382007-01-12T21:39:00.000-06:002007-01-12T21:39:00.000-06:00I thought I posted a comment here last night!
I ...I thought I posted a comment here last night! <br /><br />I just want to say that I have the same trouble here when it rains a lot or for a few days in a row. I use up a lot of (cheap) towels with Spot's paws, and I sometimes have to chase him-he doesn't care for having his paws wiped. Or any other part of him, come to think of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-73905777798186718702007-01-12T19:25:00.000-06:002007-01-12T19:25:00.000-06:00Annie, I like the washpan idea. Unfortunately, as...Annie, I like the washpan idea. Unfortunately, as big as my dogs are, it would have to be a wading pool. Anything smaller and Kadi'd just drink it.<br /><br />Sister-Three, thanks for the reminder. (Soon...let it be soon!)<br /><br />Patsy, I think the New Orleans cemeteries affect a lot of people that way when they see them for the first time, but some of the graves and monuments are really beautiful.<br /><br />Alison, that's right, scurry away, just like the little spideys do.;)<br /><br />Sunflower, I hate to discourage you, but it's a consideration. Eleven months out of the year I can't imagine living without my dogs. The other month they're still safe, but I CAN imagine it.<br /><br />Carmon, I've seen you write about vacuuming up bugs before, but I have to wonder...If the vacuum suction doesn't kill them, could they be building little colonies inside your vacuum cleaner bag?<br /><br />Creekhiker, I'm glad someone understands my mud-related pain. I can imagine the problem with cream-colored carpets. The annual rain/mud/dog problem was a major factor when I <A HREF="http://velvetsacks.blogspot.com/2006/03/if-youve-never-seen-bunny-in-cloud-you.html" REL="nofollow">replaced my flooring</A> a year or two ago.<br /><br />Jackie, it's an even bigger issue in New Orleans, which is below sea level. (Maybe there should be mandatory cremation; we could sure use the topsoil.) And you're right: no basements anywhere around.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-77687342443632365232007-01-12T07:48:00.000-06:002007-01-12T07:48:00.000-06:00Velvet, I like the photos...except for that spider...Velvet, I like the photos...except for that spider...yuk! I didn't realize that the graves have to be partially above ground, makes sense, but I just never thought of it. Darn, I wish I'd known this when we went thru Louisiana in Oct. - I'd have stopped at a cemetary. You probably don't have basements, either! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-77764840996141077422007-01-11T21:18:00.000-06:002007-01-11T21:18:00.000-06:00Velvet, I went throught that with Mabel over the h...Velvet, I went throught that with Mabel over the holidays... both my Mom and sister have cream colored carpets!

...Hmmm, now making me rethink getting a dog! LOL <br /><br />We only have one side yard that is perpetually wet, due to an underground stream that comes from the pond at the top of the road. With my luck, that would be new dog's playground!<br /><br />i hope it dries out for you soon - although I did like Annie's idea of giving them a foot bath outside.Sunflower Optimismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797860099404871043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-57096703800740717652007-01-11T12:37:00.000-06:002007-01-11T12:37:00.000-06:00That last photo creeps me out.

But I don't have the swamp you have, thank goodness.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.com
