MOPS

Bender LOVES mops. I had a mop that was nearing the end of its life, so I ordered a new one (remember all the muddy paw prints--a good mop is essential!). I knew it was time for a new mop when the handle on the old one broke. I am just too tall to use a mop that is only 3 feet long! When the new mop arrived, I assembled it (read put 2 pieces of handle together) and I put the peewee broken mop into the box in which the new mop was packaged. I set the old mop in the box next to the back door to be taken to the trash. Bender sat next to the box and just stared at the very few inches of handle that poked out of the top. I told him I knew he was losing a good friend, but asked him to give me a minute as I thought he would enjoy the new mop just as much.

The photo above demonstrates how easily he was able to transfer his loyalties! Muddy dog feet inspire multiple moppings each day and Bender is NOT helpful in this process. One friend suggested obviating the mop altogether and just dunking Bender in the water as he is very mop-like. It isn't a bad idea (just kidding) ...
