Well, I bet that attracted your attention! I must share with you the way things went at my house during the snowy days. I would go out to redo water, scoop poop, and brings dogs in...nothing unusual there...But, except for a couple of small poops, there was nothing else to be scooped. I was so glad that they had decided to "do their jobs" on their walks. Almost nothing was around to be scooped. Joy Joy Joy. Now, however, the snow has melted and ...guess what??? They weren't as well trained as I thought...although perhaps they were better trained than I imagined....hmmm The back yard was just full of little brown surprises. And...some rather big brown surprises. I think all of my wonderful training had resulted in their ability to do their "jobs" just before a lot of snow came down. I had a lot of organizing to do today to decide where to best put their little surprises (to me, at least) They were very happy with their contributions and I ...perhaps not quite so happy. I knew it was coming but I did certainly have some easy scooping days!!! Happy rain days.
