Man it's gotta suck to be a Chandler dog. City dwelling dog owners don't have the luxury of a front and back yard like Chris has, they actually walk their dogs AND pick up the turds! All Chris has to do is open the door. This newspaper bullshit is infuriating. At some point (much earlier on) Chris was supposed to move the newspaper to the door, and then right on the other side of the door. Much like his gloriously futile love quest, Chris couldn't be bothered by step 2, so he just repeats step 1 forever.
The newspaper the dogs shit on is from McDonald's. Chris steals these daily and gets in trouble from the staff. If Chris trained the dogs properly, he'd no longer have a reason to go to McDonald's every single day. Doesn't Chris spend hours at McDonald's playing with multiple iOS devices? I bet that paper gets full while their owner waits for his sweetheart, and the dogs shit and piss on random parts of the hoard that both Chris and Barb ignore.
