How does your pet's area look today? My dog's outside feeding area is a mess from the marauding raccoons who raid his food and water dishes every night. They leave his water dish a muddy mess from dipping their little hands in it to wash their stolen morsels. Naughty bandits!
But our Lab is a messy eater and a slobbery drinker anyway. His dining area doesn't look very good even without help from the masked intruders.
And the area where he sleeps....well, let's just say he sheds a lot.
Today's Small Thing is to tidy up your pet areas. Those nasty bowls could use a good scrubbing and a sweep around them to pick up the crumbs. If you have a dog or kitty bed, give it a good shake or vacuuming if you can. And should we talk about cat litter boxes??? Nah, I didn't think so.
Somehow I think our four-legged friends appreciate our efforts to spruce up their domains, even though they keep quiet about it. There's something classy about seeing them eat from a clean dish and I think it helps their self image. (Not that cats need help feeling even more superior!)
POINTS: 20 for cleaning up the dishes and food area
BONUS POINTS: 20 for cleaning up any other pet mess.....
40 pts max, (this is for any pets, not just dogs and cats)
Sorry, non-pet people! I'll make it up to you somehow....
P.S. I once had a friend whose dog was on Prozac for depression. Ooooh kaaaay. Maybe all he needed was a clean dog dish to eat from to lift his spirits!
