i have 4 kids and regardless of what time of the year it is they want to be outside when we are, so it's fall now and the leaves are falling and we are out trying to get things done in the yard before winter gets here and they have to be right there with us so everytime they come in i have to follow them around with the broom to sweep up all the leaves they have drug in on their coats sometimes it's whole leaves and then there are all the little pieces that keep falling out through out the day ,there in every room that they are allowed to go in and even in my bed i have to brush them off the bed before i can get into it. seems like that is all i get done is sweeping the floor. then there is winter coming and it will be snowballs in their fur and it's grass in the summer time. i cant leave them inside while we are out ( i could but i wouldnt do that to them) ,we have some chipmuncks that have burrowed in around the house and they are constantly in the flower beds looking for them and then they come out with leaves all over them. i would have to brush them everytime they came in and thats impossible to do also. worse then when my human kids were little i would never have allowed them to track in as much as what these guys do lol. so how do you keep up with it ?
