I did this weekend what people do on weekends; I mowed, I cleaned up the garage, I pulled weeds, I repotted flowers. Tieraney and I had hoped to go see "Drag Me to Hell," but we couldn't round up a babysitter. Maybe next weekend.
Interesting task on Saturday night. Our dog had been suffering incontinence, which we didn't really know about until after our house started smelling like urine. We knew she'd peed on the floor a couple times, but thought we'd managed to clean it up quickly enough.
Wrong.
I took a black light to the floor the other night, and discovered that before we put her on the meds, the dining room and living room of the house had pretty much become her private bathroom. And now, because there's so much dried urine in the carpet, she thinks she just go there whenever she wants.
Animals suck, by the way. I used to love animals, but no more. They're fine out in the woods, but I have no desire to ever bring one into my house again.
So anyway, I spent Saturday night after everyone was in bed shining the black light on the floor and drenching the dining room carpet in Nature's Miracle, which is supposed to be able to get rid of the urine (and, therefore, the smell). If this stuff works, we'll move on to the living room, hoping that hold us over until the dog's dead (or until I get sick of her and just open the back door (she's a huskie, and will therefore never return)) and we can buy new carpet.
To quote my father, "Damn, dumb dog."
Anyway, my piss house isn't enough to prevent a field goal as we head towards the end of the half.

Animals = underrated.
ReplyDeletePeople = overrated.
Which is kind of like telling a parent that kids grow up too quickly while he's cleaning puke off a bed at 2:00 in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI got no patience for anything that pees on my floor...human or animal. So:
Animals = overrated.
People = overrated.
Tiramisu = underrated.
