Hm... Mitzi doesn't like to hear me squeal "EWWWWW!!!!" and go through 
all sorts of gyrations trying to find ways to clean up without touching 
anything to find what I need... So she's pretty good about avoiding 
things that will cause that to happen! I don't know if that counts as 
training as such, but she's gotten pretty handing in restrooms! /grin/
