What's more fun is stepping in dog crap with brand new boots on! I swear every time I get some new boots they end up being christened by my dog's waste products!
Better new boots than socks.
Warm, Cold, New Shoes, Old Shoes, No Shoes - it's all bad and it stinks.
Years ago when I was living with my dad I came home from work and he was out of town so I was in charge of the dogs. He had an austrailian shepard, probably the smartest and most loyal dog I've ever encountered in my life. But despite her best efforts she just couldn't hold it anymore and dropped a deuce right inside the front door. It would have been better anywhere else but she knew to go wait by the door if she had to go. Anyway I came home and smeared it everywhere when I opened the door and almost slipped in it. Luckily it was contained to the welcome mat so I hosed it and my boot off outside and let it hang on the fence.
Picked up some more OT tomorrow. I forget if Christmas and New Years day fall in the same pay period for me but if they do I'll get an extra $500 or so on that check between the OT and holiday pay.
