<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well thank you for the Drool and helping me not get
in my car and just drive, drive, drive to anywhere but here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A long day at work today, typical march blues in
upstate new york with dreary skies, snow now mixed with gobs of mud, a shoppe
full of dogs that have mud and snow and mud and snow, (you get the kind of day I
am having). Spent most of the day cleaning up the floors, baskets and
walls in the shoppe that were spattered with the snow/mud mixture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Arrive home at 7:30 pm ish, open the door and KABAM
- the smell of POOP, POOOP, POOOOOOOOP, and PEE, PEEEE, PEEEEEE. Nothing
spells welcome home more than these two wonderful odors greeting me at the
door.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course we're out of paper towels (how I don't
know as I am the Paper Towel Queen). Jim and I are scrambling trying to
dodge poop piles, pee, etc. while the 6 Bassets are running around crazy happy
to see us while we are threatening to take them to the SPCA (our yelling of
course makes them dance and run and howl even more). We manage to somehow
get the herd outside and find an almost empty roll of paper towels. Have
you ever tried to clean up poop and pee with only a few measley paper
towels?? This job required a whole roll, if not multiple rolls. I
think we counted 6 piles of poop and even more puddles of pee.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jim had darn near fainted from the fumes and as I
was pushing the couch out of the way of several pee spots he is screaming
STOP! Of course when I pushed the couch it then dragged and smushed a pile
of poop into the front of the couch! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After what seemed like an eternity of cleaning, and
we have hardwood floors so do you know what gets in the cracks??? We let
the herd back in. You would at least think they would show some
remorse? Oh no, they just demanded their dinner! Lord have
mercy! Why do I love these four legged pooop heads so much??</FONT></DIV>

err, wine now)!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
