A family from Little Rock, AR — Jesse Newton, his wife Kelly, and their 4-year-old son — recently experienced a “pretty tragic” accident in their household.


In the middle of the night, the family’s new puppy, Evie, pooped on the living room rug. This was the first and only only time she has done this, but the damage she left in its wake is enough for a lifetime of indoor accidents.

You see, Jesse’s Roomba — a robotic vacuum that detects, follows and cleans floor dirt on its own — runs at 1:30 a.m. every night, while he and his family are asleep. On this particular night, however, the Roomba found Evie’s poop and rolled over it, causing a massive “Pooptastrophe.”


In a hilariously detailed Facebook post (and with the help of a hand-drawn diagram), Jesse describes waking up to find his house tracked with an endless stretch of his dog’s unfortunate mess, and the unbelievable impact it left over the course of the next several days.

“If you have a Roomba, please rid yourself of all distractions and absorb everything I’m about to tell you,” Jesse warns his readers.

Trust me, this is a story you do not want to miss…
