Doody Call

~ JodiLea ~ Leave a comment

Rain is bad enough, but snow sticks around a lot longer, and the things that get snowed on really get saturated.

I’m talking about dog poo. My dog happens to be 3 times the size of the one pictured, and her poo is also bigger.

Since I live in snow country, and I have a dog, this funny photo made me laugh. I thought I would share it for those who are dog lovers.

Then, I wanted to pass along a few pointers that have helped me over the years.

Soggy poo is the worst. You can wait for a couple of warm sunny days and let it “dry out” before you scoop it up. Most of the time, it leaves poo smears on the lawn because you have to scrape it up.

When snow covers the ground, and it starts melting, you can see poo underneath. It is still frozen. This is the easiest to scoop up. Frozen snow doesn’t stink either. Which can be a big bonus.

Alrighty then. That concludes this public service announcement.

Spring Cleaning: Moving Forward

~ JodiLea ~ 2 Comments

I am writing a list of unclean things that are grossing me out. Baseboards are #1 and I will begin those this afternoon. My pup loves to lay against the wall in four separate spots. This dirties the baseboard, wall, and carpet. It must be her skin oils, because we keep her clean.

See the dark line at the bottom?
That crack is full of black dog hair.

So, now you have seen a small fraction of the mess that is my house. I will probably regret taking “dirty” pictures and posting them on the internet, the moment after I do so. Maybe, I should re-name the blog to be The Real Housewives of Arnold, CA. Then again, maybe not. Most people would rather not deal with this real of reality.

To prevent my going off on a rant about “reality” shows, I will get busy now.
