Dogs make it hard to keep a kitchen clean. We don't have much choice
about dogs in the kitchen because our main entrance leads directly into
the kitchen so we get paw prints running through when the dog goes in
and out. It was a lot worse when we had two dogs. The other one was a
big hairy thing that shed a lot. I had to keep his face trimmed because
he slopped so much water around. Every time he went through the kitchen
he would go over to his water bowl and have a bite of water, and a mean
a bite, not a bit. He would go over,stick hi head in and just bite at
it, probably getting more on his beard than into his mouth, and then he
would turn and walk away, dripping water across the floor. I kept a mob
and bucket nearby and was constantly cleaning up after him.
