With a fenced yard, I'm spoiled. My dogs do their business in the grass in the back, and my responsibility is to periodically go back there and clean up after them. Today, I should have. Someone called to look at the house, and as usual, I ran around in a tizzy, straightening up, loading three big dogs in the back of the Jeep and took off. The poor real estate agent that showed the house left me a message saying that she was so sorry, one of them had tracked "poop" onto one of the bathroom rugs. She was so embarassed!! But in reality, I'm the one who is embarassed!!!!

Good idea with the newspaper when you're walking though.........if mine would let me do it.
