Sleuth

Housework is never done.
It can be frustrating to finish a morning of cleaning only to find it mostly undone as soon as you turn around.
It's usually fairly easy to find on whom to pin the blame; the cache of dirty dishes in a teenager's room, briefcase and shoes discarded in the doorway, or craft projects left out on the dining room table.
But sometimes it takes a little bit of sleuthing to find the culprits.
The other day my newly-cleaned bathroom was trashed but who was responsible?

Let's see: Muddy paw prints in the bathtub...








Someone has been playing in the dirt again.

A quick leap from the tub to the top of the toilet...










and a tiptoe around the edge of the shower...

A stroll through the litter box makes a change in paw prints...


Then out into the hall...










and down the stairs...















 To find the culprits...

fast asleep.
