Muddy Floors

 Before you think I don't wash my floors this is from one coming in experience today. Each time I take a damp towel and walk it around to pull up the dirt and then wet mop the dirt away and rinse.

Each day Dennis has been washing it thoroughly only to have it look like this yet again.

It makes you want to give up.

I celebrated the snow yesterday thinking no more mud but its gone, it's warm enough to keep that mud surfacing and the dogs get black.

I am at the point where I rinse and don't even bother to dry just take a shammy and take the wetness out and brush and let it air dry. I need more shammies. :-)

Logan and Panda's dad came by to get them early and when he called they had the black belly, feet and I had to laugh. I just rinsed them and he got them damp. But they are having fun and that counts the most.

Darlah it would be a miracle to keep your tile floors clean with that many furry
feet clean. 4 Furry feet is enough.

It's something you either laugh at or cry. It's still a muddy day for paws and feet alike today. Just to bring the puppies to the kitchen took over an hour to prepare as we had to wash the floor, dry it and then try to get the dogs we were in socializing with the dogs to look well somewhat normal vs. black and a wreck.

I look at Logan's feet this morning and I think he is blacker than Risa. Oh my... But Panda and Roxie are funny the do get black but it falls off of them. I like their hair!!
