Any parent who's had little kids is familiar with the curse of the brown leg.
Woke up this morning to a nasty mess in our bathroom.
apparently he picked up a GI bug.
We went golfing today for what turned out to be a very long round.
Got home to surprises again.... sigh.
at least it wasn't on the rugs and it's warm enough to open a lot of windows.
He's been housebroken for a very long time but sometimes that's just not relevant.

Ugggggg. Occasionally Sally throws up some yucky nastiness that is totally revolting. Fortunately I almost never have an issue that comes from anyplace other than her mouth. I'm far more forgiving of her little messes than I'd be with a human.

Another reason for me to not have a dog! Cats are know to puke, and we deal with that from time to time. Not a fun time at all. If I were cleaning up from the other end, on a regular basis, or even not that often, well I'm not sure I'd even own a pet.

My sister had a nice collie who tended to get digestive issues if upset or stressed. One time the dog stayed with us as my sister and brother in law, who lived in NH, were at his Mom's house....his Dad has passed away. We got up the morning of the funeral to "land mines" in the kitchen. Nope, no desire to own a dog.

I understand peoples love for animals but for us they just don't work. With my allergies to cats and dogs combined with us being gone so much having a animal just isn't right.

My sister, brother and I always said that my mother treated the dog she got after I moved out better than she treated us! :lol:

We owned a small poodle for 17 years and had "little" accidents like this. She died and we have no plans for another. I saw a bumper sticker and it read "Happy retirement retirement is when the kids move out and the dog dies".

Willing to bet that a 15 year old dog has less accidents than the typical 5 year old Rug Rat

One time my dog (she's to the left) got into the burn pile and ate some old pumpkins or squash. That night she threw it all up in our bedroom. All of it! I have never seen such a gross mess in my life. She was lucky I didn't shoot her for that one.

My experience with cats has taught me that they throw up in the worst of places far more than dogs and then there's that litter box issue. Not something I want to deal with. Sally is super great about letting me know when she needs to go out and IF she throws up, I'm understanding. I've been known to hurl a time a two myself. Couldn't imagine my life without a dog as the pleasure derived from her happiness and affection to me is irreplaceable.

They do tend to in unexpected places. I found a little surprise when cleaning the other day. Thankfully, Thelma usually find a hard wood surface vs the carpet for her issues. I am not a fan of the litter box at all, but I can't picture myself walking around with a baggie of dog pop that I just scooped while on a walk. I guess that explains why there are dog people and cat people....We are willing to deal with "stuff" for the companionship our pets offer, but prefer to deal with some "stuff" over other "stuff."
