LOL - since we always have at least 3 to 4 dogs in house, I have a very close relationship with my Bissel steam cleaner

Gator especially seems to think of a clean carpet as a "blank canvas". If there is one patch of mud in the yard - he will tap dance through it and then of course want to come in. If there is no mud, he will head to the carpet and do what I've come to call the "butt spin" (Sits down, lift back feet off the carpet and uses his front to spin on his bottom) Anal glands are fine, he just sees it as his job to make sure the canvas is "painted"

I thinks it some type of ESP they use in their great conspiracy of twisted humor.

On the weekend I get up and take Bella outside to potty then we go back to bed. On the mornings that it's damp out she will run ahead of me and jump in the bed, making sure that her wet feet are on the sheet where I sleep, not on top of the blanket where SHE sleeps.

bailey and dave do all of the above ..... well, except for that butt spin.... sure am glad they can't read so they won't be getting any more ideas..... and don't get me started on puking cats..... the cat will be in the middle of the kitchen or bathroom floor and when he feels that urge, RACES to the closest carpeting he can find......

i will one day have not a single scrap of carpet in my house.... just ALL wood or laminate and tile........

I have very few rugs in my house. Most of the house is hardwood flooring. However, when Artie has the need to vomit, he races from the upstairs (all hardwood) to the middle level (all hardwood EXCEPT FOR THE ANTIQUE LIVING ROOM RUG) and pukes right on the rug. Right on the rug. The antique rug.

They definitely know it's clean and needs to be broken in. I've never really had a problem with my dogs, but at least one of my cats will puke after I wash my floors. This is why I have tile throughout my house except for my bedroom. The carpet was really disgusting when we ripped it up.
