mytwowesties Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm so dam sick of having to sweep every night because the mulch is sticking to the dogs hair. On Saturday, I vacuumed and then mopped, one hour later I had to sweep again because of the mulch. Arrrrrggghh On top of that, tonight I had to clean up the plastic bag that they ripped open that had the scraps of the treats in it! would it be wrong of me to shave off all of their hair???? It's so hard to be cranky with them when Dexter is warming up my feet and Miley is checking out the front window for the boggieman for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be cranky with yourself, you chose to have mulch when you have dogs, you left the plastic bag within their reach, not much I can see that the dogs have done wrong.

Boronia Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yep...straw mulch in my house as well! Also some banana skins...Mac found some bananas that had ripened and fell off the tree, he and the girls ate them but he bought the skins upstairs for me.

Drumbeat Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have two coated dogs and a heavily mulched garden - I just live with it (and use a mini vac regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Maybe teach your dog to shake outside before coming inside ... maybe that might drop some of it off before they enter the house. I started with my older boy when he would get a bath ... wait until he started to shake and put a hand signal / word to it and reward. It didn't take him too long to work it out - I did it so I didn't end up drenched when they were bathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be cranky with yourself, you chose to have mulch when you have dogs, you left the plastic bag within their reach, not much I can see that the dogs have done wrong. I suddenly remember why I stopped posting on this fforum. It's because people feel the need to be nasty in response to posts that help me talk through my problems rather than take out my frustrations on mynfamily and my dogs. I needed a vent, not a lecture. I didn't say I was cranky with my dogs, I said it's hard to be cranky when they are so adorable Oh and yeah, I came home today and swept again, because I love my new garden and I love my dogs even more, but it's still super annoying As for the treat bag, I think the breeze blew the doggie door open and the bag off the kitchen table. Thanks to all ofyou who can sympathize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
