$hit Happens

There are days in a multi dog household that you start the day cleaning up $hit and you end the day cleaning up $hit.  Praise the Lord there are Bissell Carpet Cleaners.  If only the dogs could tell you when their tummy's hurt.  But, no, you have to guess which one has the intestinal issue.  Just when you think you know the culprit a surprise pile is left and the previously suspect dog has been crated the whole time.

The good thing is that this doesn't happen often.  But on days like this I'd love to just hose down the floor, use a squiggee on it and call it good.  I've also noticed they do tend to gravitate towards lighter carpet when they have to express themselves.  Perhaps they want to make sure we see it when we wake up, or come home. They strive for the ultimate in color contrast.   Face it if no one notices it's not much of a surprise. 

What causes this?  It could be anything, it could be nothing, but there is definitely something and it's right there on the carpet.  I can't be mad at them if I'm not there to prevent it from happening.  Truthfully, all of us has wondered at one time or another if we were going to make it to the stool in time.  The dogs 'stool' just takes up a much larger area. 

That's life with dogs, or pets, or kids, even sometime with adults.  $hit happens......you clean it up, and life goes (no pun intended) on.
