Why is it that when the dog has the screaming shits, she has to do it on the carpet instead of tile?

[HopeHoops]

:grr:

The poor thing is obviously miserable, but I STILL wish she'd picked the tile. Damn what a mess. On top of that, she's got a sprained ankle from playing a little too hard on Saturday. I've got an appointment with the vet for Wednesday.

1. cold feet

The carpet is warmer.

2. Interesting thought!

3. He has better grip on the carpet.

On the tile he's likely to rocket himself across the floor and smash into a wall or some such...

[HopeHoops]

4. If you had seen the living room, you would understand how appropriate that is.

The "rocket launch" appeared to have occurred anyway.

5. Are you sure it was the dog? Is anyone else...

7. Her rear end confirmed the guilt.

That was a mess too.

6. Because it's softer

People prefer soft bathroom tissue, why not dogs?

8. Poor pup.

I feel for you.

But when I read "screaming shits" I couldn't help imagining . . . :rofl:

9. Because you wouldn't appreciate it as much if it were easy to clean.

:hide:

I don't know about dogs but cats veer to carpet over resilient flooring because of their instinct to bury their effluence to hide the scent.

10. Hi L Esto...(grinch)

why would people prefer to wipe with T Paper instead of saran wrap...dogs ain't stupid.

11. My Dog loves the Carpet (for scratching his Ass.)

12. backsplash

same reason they make a point to puke on carpet.

[grasswire]

13. I hope no one ever shows a black light on carpet where I've lived...

...with three cats and a border collie. God almighty. One is a puker, one is a pee-er, and the border collie is a wild card -- one never knows.

14. Just buy a brown carpet and relax!
