Who wants my lab?
"Rocky" wrote in message ... "Sue and Atty" said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior: Why? Somebody's dear sweet Atty (she's not mine this morning) decided to roll her head through deer poop or some type of poop whilst out for her morning business. Deer poop doesn't really adhere and, in my experience, isn't particulary stinky. Any geese around? The worst I've seen was a dog who'd found a human, uhm, "campsite." -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. Geese do fly over, but I never see them in the yard. The deer have a path through our yard, and I've seen deer droppings in the yard frequently - and clean it up alot, she loves to snack. Whatever she rolled in, it was all over her neck and face, and rubbed in/ground in to her fur pretty good. Whatever it was, it has a very heavy ammonia smell. Sue and Atty |

"Rocky" wrote in message ... "Sue and Atty" said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior: I'm open to hints on how to desmell the house - I didn't realize the smell until I went out to try to find what she rolled in and came back in. Febreeze or Glade for the quick fix, bleach'n'water if it's on lino or tile, Petastic if on carpet or furniture, garbage can if on pretty much anything else. This time of year, I do all that first and then open windows and doors whilst putting on a sweater. I get lots of wind, so house odours flush quickly. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. Glade didn't touch it. bleach won't work - all but the kitchen is carpet - the kitchen is wood. I've got baking soda on the carpet now, and it seems to have helped. I think I'll open the house again for a few minutes. It just seems to be permiated in the air - she didn't get a chance to rub it into the carpet or furniture, thank goodness. All of the towels I went through are on the front porch. I'm hoping when I vaccuum up the baking soda I don't make it worse by infecting the sweeper and, well...... I see a horrible cycle starting! Thanks to all who have offered suggestions. Sue and Atty |

said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior: *Unless of course you're cooking liver, in which case even -100F isn't too cold to open up the windows. Amen to that. I made liver treats for Yoda once. Never again. I don't love him THAT much. I do that stuff on the BBQ, outside - though I once made lamb liver treats inside, but on a windy summer day. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

I've got baking soda on the carpet now, and it seems to have helped. You're going to think I'm kidding, but for Indian food overpowers the foulest of stenches. Even goose poop and rolled in dead animal stench. Of course, then you'd have a hell of a time getting rid of stale Indian food smell. What I've done to successfully eliminate odors is to boil some water with a drop of some sort of essential oil or extract in it. I've tried sandalwood oil, lavender and orange, and they all work pretty well. In a pinch, I boil water with a few crushed cloves and cinnamon sticks in it, and it makes the house smell wonderful too. Suja I'd take stale Indian food smell right now! Maybe I'll go cook some liver. It *can't* be worse! I've got some essestial oils from Atty's vet that we've used holisitcally. I think I'll go see what's in the arsenal. Thanks. Sue and Atty |

Who wants my lab?
"Sue and Atty" wrote in message t... Lab for sale - real cheap. At this point, she's free. Here I sit, 6:30 am, windows and doors open in February, and 1 dog who's had a bath already today. Why? Somebody's dear sweet Atty (she's not mine this morning) decided to roll her head through deer poop or some type of poop whilst out for her morning business. And somebody decided to send her back to the bedroom and wake me up to tell me so I could give her a bath. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Gee, and I was hoping to get to sleep in this morning. Who wants her? You can add in a bonus poop rolling corgi to sweeten the deal. |

Sue and Atty I believe it's the Somebody who sent her back to wake me up who would be offered for free to the first taker. Judy Perhaps you have seen this card before, but I just rec'd it for my 50th. Things your dog does to celebrate your birthday: 1. Wet nose master at 5:30 a.m. 2. Go out and pee on the world. 3. Make poopy 4. Snif poopy. 5. Seriously think about eating poopy. 6. Eat funny looking bug instead. 7. Toss up bug contents onto rug. 8. Drink from magic well. 9. Roll in filth, lavish Master with kisses. 10. Crawl onto couch, sleep 17 hours, start over. The pictures were pretty funny, too. Enjoy your day. I'm a big fan of labs! Kind regards, (the)duckster |

I've tried sandalwood oil, lavender and orange, and they all work pretty well. In a pinch, I boil water with a few crushed cloves and cinnamon sticks in it, and it makes the house smell wonderful too. I kill two birds with one stone by nuking a bowl of water with a few cloves, a strip of orange or apple peel or a little of that bottle of fake vanilla I bought by accident. Even a dollop of jam will work. Smells great and makes it easy to clean the microwave. My husband cried foul, though, when I used a spoonful of cocoa, leading him to believe that there were brownies forthcoming. Use a pretty big bowl because you're going to be boiling the contents. In my microwave it takes about two minutes to take 2 cups of cold tap water up to a full boil, and I set the timer for an additional 3 minutes from there. Then let it stand for with the door closed for about ten minutes to let the steam soften the goobers. Remove bowl and bottom tray (if present) for cleaning. Dump the water and spices (or whatever) into the disposal while running hot water. Wipe down the interior of the microwave with a damp cloth (microfiber, by preference) to removed the crusties. Rinse, wring and wipe again. The house will still smell nice but you don't necessarily want a lingering sweet odor in the microwave itself if you're preparing something savory. |
