wet cement
Paws leave prints
Wet cement is concrete or mortar that hasn't yet hardened, still workable and vulnerable to disturbance.
The phrase appears most often in warnings—Caution: wet cement—or descriptions of accidental impressions: The dog ran through the wet cement.
Figuratively, something in wet cement is not yet fixed: The plans are still in wet cement.
