Don’t Wear a Cashmere Sweater to Clean the Toilet

Good night, sleep well.

  1. Re old dog parenting: yesterday, Rocky’s hind legs collapsed in the middle of a poop and then he couldn’t stand up unaided. We were on a walk, and as I was helping Rocky stand with my hands under his messy haunches, Bixby decided to help. It was 40 degrees out, but all of us needed a bath before coming back into the house. The most literal shit show ever. Sigh.

    1. Oh, Nan, I am sorry to hear that. What a mess. I have been (partially there), holding a bag under Sugar’s butt, or trying to wipe it with paper towels softened with water and liquid baby soap. I love that your Bixby decided to help. That is so sweet for all three of you. I am sending love to good Rocky. Love Alice

  2. I am irregular in my bathroom cleaning, I will just decide it's grubby and start in and YES , not always in the right apparel!
    If Nan circles back, so sorry about the shit storm. I live there with Lionna, now sweet 16. Between her aging issues and Tucker's training issues, dog care a big part of my day.
