The Cost of Going Green

During the past few weeks, the straw door mat at our house, a wonderful example of our environmental conciousness, has been dissolving before our very eyes.

This mystery intrigued me, until evidence was found at the scene.

It looks like Rocky had to deal with Hobson's choice when I let the dog out.
This explains the dog's sudden desire to chase squirrels. After all, the dog loved to lay on that mat.

The recycling of my old door mat will necessitate a trip to the store to purchase a new door mat, which was probably the intention of the manufacturer in the first place.

I have news for them....

Chew on that! (okay, I admit, it is made of recycled tires)
