And with the dog comes new adventures

So Jack came from a previous owner who supposedly let her nine (+) dogs use doggie pads as bathrooms inside the house.  He sees a rug and thinks it's a great spot to pee or poop.  Particularly the rugs that I like the most, which happen to be blue and white, which are the colors of the doggy pads.  Or maybe he just knows they are my favorite rugs...

The kids are currently the ones cleaning it up, on the condition that they are the ones who want the dog.  They are so far pretty good and agreeable about it, but sometimes a dispute ensues.  Meanwhile Lanie thinks that it's probably good fun to clean up (we won't let her because no one wants a bigger mess).  She will walk around outside in the yard with a poop bag on her hand picking up rocks and twigs, yelling, "Oh! Disgusting!"

Starting our day one morning recently.  They're arguing about who picks up what size piece.
