One dog broke her toe, and twisted her leg, that way.<br /><br />The carpet lasted about two years, and then I did it again.<br /><br />Or you could get some cheap rubber 'Welcome' mats fron the Dollar Store, and do the same thing.<br /><br />Just my tuppence (2 cents in Brit)<br />Happy Trails, Penny, TX<br />www.pennys-tuppence.blogspot.comLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543328159749284333.post-3731958809075691412011-01-11T13:00:46.980-06:002011-01-11T13:00:46.980-06:00When we had our lab, Gypsy, we put a rug on our ba...When we had our lab, Gypsy, we put a rug on our back deck and steps for her...She was almost 13 when she died and had some trouble with ice toward the end...Tell Fred to be careful...(See how I'm more worried about Fred than you two...)Dennis and Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07320009741335075781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543328159749284333.post-69807561814071734802011-01-11T09:06:54.539-06:002011-01-11T09:06:54.539-06:00Ohhhh boy that is not nice~!

I put them on their long extenda flexi retractable leash and open the door. Iet them go out till the they reach the end of the leash, and then lock it and shut the door on the line! (with the handle inside the motorhome) <br /><br />Later when the rain stops, or ice melts, or gets light whatever, then I go out and clean up the deposits... haha<br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...
