8 pounds of what???


Today, instead of packing for my weekend trip, I bring you my Pinterest Pin of the Day (because pinning is more fun that packing and we all know I'm going to wait until the last minute anyway)

How To Clean Pet Stains Out Of Carpet
(Removed link and photo)


The pin links to a great article on One Good Thing By Jillee. Love her blog, it's so informative, I can while away hours every day just perusing her bright ideas. However, the reason I pinned this particular pin is because I really, really, REALLY need it. Yes, I have a little pee-pee stain maker on my hands.



Meet Maggie. She's an 8 year old Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix I adopted a year ago through a special senior citizen adoption program. She was the senior, not me! She's a bundle of nervous energy wrapped up in cuddly cuteness...and she's not fully housebroken. When I first met her (and of course instantly fell in love with her) I was assured she was A) fully housebroken and B) not a barker. Either she had the adoption agency duped or they lied to us. She's an 8 pound barking pee-pee fountain...and all love and kisses and a laugh a minute!




I mean, come on...how can you not love a desk dog!! In a red sweater! Ohmygawdshe'ssocute! Now I can live with the barking, especially since my hearing isn't what it used to be, and she's awesome at letting me know when mail/ups/fedex has arrived or a pine needle has fallen off the tree outside, but the pee stains well that's another story. Seriously, I lose sleep over the pee stains on my carpet! (not really, I just added that for dramatic effect) The hubster and I are planning to replace all the flooring in our home this summer with a nice hardwood or laminate or something like that, but until then we still have the carpet to deal with. I plan on giving the baking soda/vinegar trick a try and see how it works. I'll report on my findings in a future blog...if I can remember, because the old grey mare just ain't what she used to be! Wait, maybe I WAS the senior citizen after all!

  1. I look forward to your results, as we have a pee-pee monster, er, pet in our house, too.
