I vacuumed yesterday because the dogs had tracked mud in and I can never towel King's feet enough. They're big as saucers and mud squeezes in everywhere. Then it dries and flakes all over the floor as he walks and *dammit* I let them out a couple of hours later and it's the same thing all over again.
Don't mention boots, anyone. If I put him under general anesthesia, I might get the boots to stay on and in one piece.
It's enough to make me wish for the ground to freeze solid until April. Of 2011. The hell with the garden.
Perhaps you could put a large shallow plastic pan full of water right next to the door, either inside or outside, and teach him to prance in it before he came in?
