This is a common concern of mine too -- we have 4 and they definately make a mess. We live in the country and all four of mine thoroughly love the outdoors. I shake my head every time I sweep the kitchen at the amount of grass/dirt/debris they track in. Toys are always here and there. Even as I pick them up to vacuum, my little Ben is busy dragging them back out as fast as he can.
Mine are a constant part of our family life and we have just accepted that it is like having perpetual toddlers. Thank goodness for Febreeze and my Bissell carpet cleaner! They do make for extra work, but they are worth every minute of it! |
