Do you think just plain bi-carb (baking soda) would work?
I found a lovely accident in the bedroom today and it is borderline toxic.. there's no way I am sleeping in there tonight unless I can get the smell out... and I have no vinegar *cries*

It is now time to offer testemonials for the wonder spray - Febreze! I wish they'd pay me for all these commercials.Quote:

I've used my steamer on carpet, it got stains out, but made the smell worse. Steamed urine doesn't smell good at all. :(Quote:

I've had no sleep! Don't blame me, blame Indy. This is what happens when Alty is dead tired.
I have everything but seltzer water, because I have no idea what it is!
Carbonated water. ;)Quote:

Ahhhhh OK... so soda water then :p
I'd give it a go, I don't have any carpet cleaning products because most of the house is floorboards.
Plus the bedrooms are sort of a brownish, yellowish vomit color anyway... I think anything I did would be an improvement.
I would give the carpet a scrub with laundry detergent. When it is dry, sprinkle the baking soda on it and vacuum.
Ya! Do that! That sounds fun! :)Quote:

Alty, I don't know who I feel worse for, you or Indy. Poor guy. Is he missing R?
Restless animals are VERY annoying.
Hmmm no offense Alty but I think I'll try Bellas suggestion first :p
Be back in a bit!
I'm just waiting for Altys next post to be cxv .m,nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc cccccc
Because she fell asleep on the keyboard.
Lol poor girl. And I thought I was training for sleep deprivation torture. I bow before her tiredness.
The problem is that he's too hot in the house. He likes to be in the garage, where it's cooler, but he doesn't want to be out there alone. So I'll go out, do some of my woodworking and stuff, but as soon as I go inside he starts barking. He won't come in.Quote:

When R gets home he sits in the garage, watches TV, has a few smokes, so Indy is happy. So you, I guess he does miss R, in a way. ;)
Poor bugger. What about getting him a fan upstairs?
OR you could get those blue ice packs, and put a pillow over them. It might keep him cool?
Shazzy, I willlllll notttttttttt faalllllll asleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ep at...Quote:

My bed is calling me! Shut up bed! I have things to do! No, I can't do them later! Stop it! Shut up bed! Arrrrrrr.
:: poking Indy::
Ha, ha. I feel better. :)
Have one. Also have a window air conditioner, just haven't put it in yet because I'm convinced that spring isn't stuck yet. It's only May, it will probably snow again before Spring springs eternal. ;)Quote:

I think I'll wait until I'm more awake before I shave him. It may not end well if I do it now. :eek:
Ha he might end up looking like a poodle. Will there be before and after pics?
Definitely! That will teach him. ;)Quote:

Can I give Indy a sleeping pill, or a 1/4 of a sleeping pill, or anything to make him sleep at night? Chloroform, tea, eye of newt, tongue of bat? Seriously. If I have to go through one more night of this, one of us isn't going to survive. :(
I wouldn't give any human meds, but let me see if I can conjure up a home brewed natural relaxation potion.
There are drugs out there safe for dogs there are some herbal ones too, but with Indy I would ask your vet first to make sure.
I have some tablets here that a friend gave me that are herbal. I gave them to Cyrus before his last show and it make him very relaxed... unfortunately, they were given to me in a plastic zip bag so I don't know the name of them :rolleyes:
Oooh! I'm totally up for a home brewed natural potion. Does it involve seltzer water?Quote:

Oi. Okay, I'm starting to get dizzy. I need some sleep. The bed won't stop calling and I think I'm going to listen to it. Around 6 hours of sleep in the last 3 days is taking it's toll on me. I'm old, I'm not well, I need my darn sleep!
If this keeps up I'll be gone long before Indy. OMG! Is that his plan? :eek:
:: poke, poke::
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Now he's awake. :D
Weeeeeee!
Later all. Maybe. ;)

Marty. Shhhhhhhhh! No, don't whistle back, just shut your beak.
I'm getting a hotel room for the weekend. That's what I'm going to do. Oh, better idea. I'll put up the tent trailer and sleep there this weekend. Camping on my driveway. Sounds good to me.
Later kids.
Lol cya later Alty, I'm probably going to bed once my carpets are dry, I have sprayed it with a hot water and 'linen fresh' washing powder mixture and I have a heater running in that room.
I like the idea of a 2 for one relaxer/cleaner... that way if the dogs sleep on the floor they are nice and mellow :D
Night Alty! :) Hope you get some sleep.
Hey Bella, the washing powder mix worked on the floor!
Now it smells all washing powdery lol better than dog pee though!
WooHOO!! That was a suggestion YOU gave to me :D
It works eh? I no longer buy carpet cleaners, laundry soap work awesome. If you have Arm and Hammor with baking soda in it, it is the bomb!
If only it worked. I'm about ready to strangle the little sh!ts for leaving little sh!ts all over my carpet.Quote:
