Keeping it Clean

Dear Wylie,

For as long as I can remember, I've had this compulsion to explore the garbage cans for tissues and napkins. My humans get very angry with me when I do this and have even tried putting the cans on the counters so I will stop. But I just can't help myself!

What should I do?

Dear Bruno,

Your efforts to remain clean by using whatever tissues and napkins you can find are commendable. I applaud your efforts. Obviously, the best solution is for your humans to keep a supply of clean tissues available where you can reach them.

If that doesn't work, then my best suggestion is that you butt scoot across the living room carpet to make it plain that you need to go out.

WOOF!
Wylie
