Painting Paws

We are getting new carpet put in our house.  Apart from packing things out of the way, we decided to take on the task of painting the base boards before the new carpet is installed.  So I spent yesterday putting up beautiful blue tape all around the downstairs, and when Steven got home he got the paint ready and was getting the vacuum out to clean the baseboards before painting them.  

The funniest thing happened when he got the vacuum out!  Georgia, our 1 1/2 yr old baby/english bulldog, who happens to be afraid of four things....storms, computer cleaner that sprays air, drills, and VACUUMS jumped backwards landing in the paint bucket!  She ran to her hiding place under the dining room table!  Following her were white paw prints!  Thank the Lord we are replacing the carpet and that it happened before the new carpet is installed:)  

On a side note I had bought a new cleaner from Clorox for Hard Surfaces, which isn't toxic, nor does it change colors on things that aren't white...so i used it on a mostly black rug to get the paint out and it worked great!  CLOROX HARD SURFACE CLEANER...available in most stores near you:)
