Ha! That's how it is in my house too. When the dogs are quiet, or not around, it's time to investigate. I love T.Bumpkins Washable Pee Pads!! I can't say enough good about them except that I wish I had discovered them sooner!! They are a nice size, very abosrbant and I have washed them several times and they still look like new. (I don't dry them in the dryer though). I will say one thing about them.....I ordered a dark color, and there have been a couple of times when I didn't even see that there was a tootsie roll on it because it blended in so well!!!
On Zebra could look like a fat zebra stripe, LOL, but the pads are great you will love them!
