Watch your step

You may have noticed that a few posts ago, we posted pictures from the recent snow and told you about our antics and enjoyment of playing in the snow.  Well, in the last few days, we have taken a different approach.  While the snow is fun and we love playing in the snow, we now are ready for Spring.  Why the sudden change?

Our owner took us for a walk late last night.  With a bunch of snow still on the ground, it can be difficult to walk in the snow with two big dogs like us leading the way (well, pulling/charging ahead).  Even worse, there are times we run across areas where other dogs 'relieve themselves' on the sidewalk or in grassy areas that we cannot see when the ground is covered in snow.  Last night was one of those times.

After our walk ended, we strutted inside our house as we were exercised and ready for our dinner.  Immediately, our owner noticed some 'dirt' on the floor of our house.  Our owner moved down to pick up the mud and suddenly had a bad feeling as what he grabbed didn't smell like mud.  Unfortunately, it wasn't mud at all, it was POO from another dog!!!

Being an impressive problem-solver, our owner shuffled us quickly into the bathroom (the whole time, we were getting the floors dirtier and dirtier).  Our owner recognized Rocky as the dog who probably stepped in the mess and put him in the shower.  After starting the shower and washing a few of Rocky's paws, his owner noticed that nothing was coming off of Rocky's paws.  He looked over at Desi and saw the floor was nearly completely dirty now as it was Desi who was guilty of the misstep!!!

Wanting to finish Rocky's shower quickly, our owner grabbed another paw to finish his cleaning.  Not sure of whether it was a sudden move or not, Rocky flipped out and somehow got ahold of the shower curtain, which ripped the rod and curtain off of the shower as the hand-held sprayer shot water all over the bathroom.  You guessed correctly, the noise from the shower rod crashing down made Desi flip out and any areas of the bathroom not covered in dog poo were now covered as she reacted to both the noise and her goofball litter mate Rocky crashing around in the shower.  To top the dog shower off, Rocky slipped on the floor again getting out of the shower which caused immediate chaos in the bathroom between our owner and us TWO LARGE and WET dogs.

With Rocky cleaned up and in his cage eating, our owner focused on cleaning Desi.  Since Desi is calmer in the shower (ironic, considering she is not the calmer dog in general), the cleaning of Desi only took a few minutes to get her paws clean.  With both dogs clean and fed, our owner worked to clean the house from the unfortunate poo incident of the evening.

About an hour and 15 minutes later, the house was clean and our owner was now ready to watch the Olympics.  While he was glad to see the winter events and all of the beautiful snow in Canada, he was also glad that snow was not in the forecast in our area for the next few days.

Fast forward to this morning....it's now snowing outside.  Thanks, weatherman.
