You know how weird dogs can be, right?

Well, my doggo, Oso, is afraid of the hard tile floor. Specifically one spot in particular. In order to get outside, he has to walk in between a peninsula with a trash can, collapsible stairs, and stools on one side, and on the other, a table, normally with a chair pulled out. So typically 1-3 feet space. OR he can go the long way, which is more clear, but it’s longer. So more hard tile.

He ends up creeping very slowly around the peninsula, poking his head around like the chairs are about to attack him, then madly skitters across the dining room, and finally goes outside (normally knocking over the water bowl on his way out).

Can you imagine how much of a mess this makes?
