i'm working up to putting the hoses away for winter. so i'm doing all the last fall cleanup. which means the bricks from the tortoise enclosure get taken outside and sprayed down. sweetpea makes a mess of them, they get pooped on and sloshed on from her bath tub, and food gets smashed into them. i take em outside twice a year, spring and fall, and hose everything down.
her enclosure, the bricks on the bottom right are where the heat lamp is clamped above. she can go hang out on the warm bricks if she gets cold.
the bricks. in total there are 8 of them.
the blue square i drew is where her bath tub gets set in for her. (cant leave it the bathtub there, she fouls it and dumps it over and makes a huge muddy mess)

so anyway, i was hauling the bricks outside, and they're heavy. and i was throwing them off the porch step onto the ground over by the hose. and the dogs saw me throwing them and ran over and stood where i was throwing them, all ready to catch the next bricks i carried out! and i'm standing there holding the bricks yelling "NO! IT'S NOT FETCH!" and they're all jumpy and eager, waiting for me to toss them. *palmface*. there will be no trying to catch BRICKS, you dorks!
then they decided that whatever was stuck on the bricks was tasty *GAG*. so i turned on the hose and changed their minds. now the bricks and the plastic bin they were in are all clean and drying off in the sunshine. the hose water is REALLY cold.
