Muddy Times

Today and last night the crew found the mud UNDER the leaves. I just bought more bags so the sunlight can get to the ground.
Why bother? Well I had mud tracked all through the house. I found taking an old towel, spraying the floor with a spray bottle and walking on it over the mud cleaned it faster. What a riot. It happened so many times that I had to find solutions to all that cleaning. Who can wash a floor many times a day? Not I but I can't just leave tracked paw prints either.
My floors get thoroughly washed the old fashioned way each Friday or Saturday. They get vacuumed daily in the Fall. Come Winter I do the towel dry thing I did with the towel minus the spray bottle.
I guess I could use a Swiffer but this method is actually faster as the towel is larger and it doesn't leave all that cleanser residue. hehehehe
The dawgs have a grand time trying to grab the towel as I do it too.
What kind of shortcuts have you learned since you have dawgs in your life during muddy or leave filled times?

Darlah, pretty well the same as you, walking the towel along the floor, which of course she thinks this is for her to play and chase, but it is entertaining for us both, and keeping the vacumn handy, as she is just a little leaf collector and if little pieces drop off her on the floor they end up right back on her! It is so much fun having her run through the dry crunchy leaves, (as I love doing that too), and they come off fairly easily, it is the wet mulched up leaves that like to really stick that take the time. I haven't counted like you did with Risa and the 129 she had on her WOW, but there is one time I am sure we were pretty close to that. It has been great weather for the dogs and humans alike, gotta love it!
