At 7 a.m., hoping for quiet wind and no dirt, I had the doors of my bugeye
ready for final painting, all laid out on sawhorses.  I warned my wife to
keep the dog in, and laid on three perfect coats of catalyzed enamel. 
Just as I finished the last coat, my dear wife Attilla opened the garage
door, having forgotten totally about my warning.  Out came the dog, who
bounded around me (and the doors) in joyful greeting. 

I did color sand and buff the doors, but if you look carefully you can 
see little tracks where the dog hairs were.  The long term solution was a 
divorce.  Hey, you couldn't blame the dog.
