I even set a bowl of water in the garage to dip her paws in, if I can catch her before she runs through the house! Lots of muddy towels in the washer too! As much as I hate the soggy yard, I have to remind myself I am so glad I have hardwood floors. Much easier to clean!

Mud season was so awful and so were rainy days. Winter here was the best as the snow was clean. :) I had an old towel we used to wipe the paws and somedays he would be taken to the basement to have his feet washed, which he hated. I miss the old dog but not the dirt and mud and hair. Happy Easter to you!

When you've just cleaned is usually when our big dog comes in with wet paws and if you have dressed for work...well, that's when she wants you to love her and if you don't she'll put her paw up on your leg. Mud and all. :-) I thought everyone let their pets up on the furniture. I do, they make room for me so that is all I care about.<br />xo,<br />karenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-39847004808221087572014-04-17T15:55:26.382-05:002014-04-17T15:55:26.382-05:00Hi Alison, Gotta laugh!

Out sweet Bentley (Springer Spaniel) would slide around the island at full speed. I almost don’t won’t to remove them because he’s no longer with us. They are worth all of it! <br />Happy Easter and Spring.........<br /><br />EmilyThe French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-22741745672583021462014-04-17T15:30:58.868-05:002014-04-17T15:30:58.868-05:00I'm so happy you can laugh about it !
