I have my dogs, a yellow and a chocolate lab, trained so that when I yell "rinse cycle," they come to "rinse" the plates for me. I then put them in the dishwasher.

Oh my, I bet coldwater is a happy camper!

That's a treasure for sure! I bet Grampa is immune to almost anything, too!

hmm....so far our dog only does the pre-wash cycle, now I'm wondering.......

Hey, when camping, we were taught to wash pans with dirt. worked, too.

I have two pre rinsers. One is "Cold Water" and the other is "Running Water." Cold water moves more slowly than Running Water, hence the nicknames. Love this story even though I've heard it before.

Oh, Ditter!
You are just too much!!! And I love every bit of it!!!

We used to camp out for a month during the summer, we would start out in Wisconsin and then stay on the road and edge of Lake Superior, then around to the Canadian side. We always used cold lake water, a little dish soap and sand. When we did have soap, it was just cold lake water and sand. We never got sick. Sure enjoyed the wildlife and Northern Lights.
