Does anyone feel like gagging with me?

We moved to our new house in Alexandria.....the house is wonderful....other than a few issues.....
The people who lived here before us had 2 big dogs. Even though they shampooed the carpets before they moved out...their was an IMMENSE amount of dog hair in the carpets. And this house is carpet throughout. This one picture I am sharing (sparing you the many) is of what came off of the carpet in the master bedroom ALONE. :( Dog hair and dirt. Gag. I have pictures like this after vaccuuming EVERY room in the house. I guess it is true with your pets also - that "Love is blind!"


And even worstestestest (if that can be a word) - the back yard was COVERED in huge dog poop! Covered! The waste guys can't come clean it until this week - so since it was frozen the other day - BRAD and I got out there and picked up as much of it as possible. GAGGGGG. Wearing rubber gloves of course... And a lot of it we could not get up b/c it was frozen to the ground. But better picked up frozen than when mushy after rain! We got 3 bags of it and there is still more out there.

I just want to be a blessing today by sharing this joy in my life! And Billy R., I am NOT making this up! Another poop story!

Well, at least you're telling us how life REALLY is...without rose colored glasses!! LOL
Hope you're doing well. Let us know if/when you come back here to visit/live.
Take care.

Lovely! or better yet...UCK! I have a sweet, inside dog but one that doesn't shed and now I know why!

We have opted for now...to not have a outside dog, much less a big outside dog because NO ONE LIKES TO DO POOP DUTY around here. My kids always hated to clean up the poop in the back yard but we at least had a pooper scooper :)

Have fun!

I think I would have vomitted and you know how much I like my animals!! Next time, try a shovel and a bag instead of gloves. Love to your family! I have been praying for you and I know that God will bless you soon.

Love, Sundie
