I just noticed this thread today and boy can I sympathize with you.
We have six dogs and and some days I feel as if I am losing a battle with the cleaning. I seem to be constantly vacuuming and washing floors and that's not to mention the rugs. We have recently pulled the carpeting out of the den and replaced it with linoleum ( one solid piece) and that has been a huge help, but on rainy days .... It's just impossible.
And if you wanted to add laundry to the mix, well now that we have 2 litters of puppies ... it just never ends.
I
love them all and I am ever so grateful to have them, but some days I wish my fairy godmother would swoop in, wave her magic wand, and clean .... EVERYTHING. LOL
Hang in there. It really does get better and when you have this big doggie pile giving you kisses and love ... you just know it is all worth it.
