The rain us back,

Up north, throw rugs are often used because the floors are cold in the winter. (they can be here in Mexico, too, depending on location) But here, they are mostly used as decoration, so yeah, I can't imagine why anyone would choose to leave them out in the rainy season and have to keep washing them if they have muddy paws to deal with.

I had a housesitter from hell once (she was actually nuts, which I didn't realize when I approved her- bipolar who had stopped taking her medication and I think she had fetal alcohol syndrome, too)

Two of my friends and neighbors came over to check on my place while I was gone, after I contacted them to say she was sending me crazy emails on a daily basis. They acted like they were just dropping by to say hi, but they were actually reporting back to me.

My friend said the housesitter had all my floors completely covered in towels, which the housesitter explained was to keep the floors clean from the muddy dog paws. The result of that was that she plugged up my washing machine with mud, sand, and dog hair from throwing those towels in there without shaking them out. The drain hose was plugged solid for its entire length- I couldn't even flush it out with the water hose, I had to ream it out with a piece of rebar. And when I took the filter off the back of the machine, several gallons of skanky water and another kilo of sand poured out.
