Having three kids, three meals daily and sometimes snacks, makes quite a messy floor. For some reason, they don't understand lean over, don't pick, don't play...just eat your meal. And after every said meal, out comes the broom and sweeping I go...I think I should be good a Curler! Sweeep hard....Hurrry Hard!! But since getting Jasmine, she sits under the table at every meal and waits for things to drop...waiting to pounce! Eagerly waiting for someone to drop food. Who will it be?? What will it be??
I do feed her, I follow the directions......so she is really not hungry...kinda like us humans, we might be very full after a delicious meal....but something tells us to eat that extra piece of pie, biscuit or have that last scoop of mashed potatoes out of the pot(easy clean up, no need to pack it up for leftovers)...perhaps that's why she does it?!
She chooses Alex...the messiest..for some reason his food on his spoon or fork just doesn't quite make it to his mouth...and then there is Jasmine...tongue ready and sweep...its gone!! I can at times see her head, popping up between his legs, trying to catch the food and Alex doesn't mind, he thinks its fun. With the other two kids, they are still messy but there is no real mess like Alex. She will even sit right beside Katie and stare at her...like she is trying to communicate with Katie..."please...give me that pasta. You don't want it? Do you!?"
The only other issue I have with the floors is that she leaves her footprints everywhere...especially if its a mild day, and things are bit muddy!!! How can I solve this?? IS it wrong to buy her boots?? I have started to follow her with the Wet Swifter...cleaning up....NOW for me this is hard...cause I am a CLEAN FREAK...I love sparkling clean floors....sigh.....those days are gone, unless I can figure something out.....I could clean her feet before she came in, but you know that's HARD to do to a dog!!! So I suppose....I'll be nice and allow her to clean my floors after the kids eat and I'll come up behind her and follow her with my Swifter...till her feet are dry!
