Emily has made jokes about just throwing things over the porch railing before. It's been tempting but I know it would make a HUGE mess and all kinds of noise. LOL

Since I have three boxes, I top them off as they get a little low and then fully dump and scrub about once a month. I was overdue on two of the boxes so I did one last night and will do another either today or tomorrow. The biggest box is up for replacement since I haven't done that in a while so I think I'll do that shortly before the family visit. I get the medium size bags of litter since I can get those upstairs ok enough.
