We've had ...I didn't even think about that. We've had a smaller area of gravel for the last two years that caused absolutely no tracking problems. The black dog is ours and she has smallish rounded pads on her feet. We were pet-sitting the brown and white dog - she has much larger paws with more places for gravel to get caught. I'll pay more attention the next time she's with us to see if any comes inside with her. By the way, we used 1/4-10 rather than pea gravel. Maybe that makes a difference?1914househttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03769639333474102898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663509373856707858.post-91239955264507685802013-06-18T20:36:50.417-07:002013-06-18T20:36:50.417-07:00I completely relate to that.

They are attracted and fall in and drown. It makes for a gross container, but keeps them away.pencrushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15788168316072330226noreply@blogger.com
