Need for a Mud Room!

It has been so rainy in Georgia that our backyard has not dried out since August! The 4 dogs know they need to sit when they come in to get their paws wiped, but sometimes they take off and there is mud everywhere! The hardwood floors shine with muddy paws prints! Looks like I stenciled the floors! :-) You got to love winter. It has also been very cold lately..... I thought moving South 10 years ago would prevent bone chilling weather, but not today! It was very cold walking dogs today, two pairs of glove, big coat, scarf, tons of layers. I look like I live in Alaska! Our Saint Bernard loves this weather, he is in his element. He lives for bone chilling weather! There is even snow in our forecast, maybe Thursday... If you know anything about the South, just the hint of possible snow clears the shelves of all Milk, Bread and Beer. I would love for our dogs to play in the snow and the city will shut down if it does so NO Work ! I feel like a kid when there is no school because of snow. Keeping my fingers crossed! Well looking at some pictures of mud rooms I came across one I really liked. If I had room to make a Mud Room it would be great for our 4 dogs to clean up before the paw hits the hardwood floor....
