snowflakeluvr Cut Rock Total Posts: 296 Last Post: 10/28/2009 Member Since: 7/15/2006	my (psycho) sister and her monster of a son visited for thanksgiving...oops wrong thread so she brought her two westies(who by the way were the most well-behaved dogs i've ever seen-wish i could say the same for her child) i digress, rough weekend, sorry! her pups stayed in my large laundry room with the door open blocked by a baby gate. that doorway opens up to a fairly large mudroom/entrance from garage area which there is a powder room near, then house is large and opens up to large, two story open family room, which has an open loft room(our toy loft), and then other direction opens to open dining room and around the bend is the kitchen. these areas are now permeated with wet dog and it seems like it's working its' way to the kids bedrooms via the open upstairs loft area UGH...if i didn't detest my sister so much, would it make a difference? probaby not but we are in a brand new house, our "dream" house if you will and i scrubbed as soon as they left this morning, dh opened the laundry room windows and let the very cold michigan air in, and still it STINKS... what should i do? i am very smell sensitive, the kids aren't seeming to notice it as much. i know febreeze is for fabric, what else is there? i have a plug-in in the mudroom and one in the powder room but it sort of makes it smell stinky dog/fruity(not a pretty combo imo)... ok, thanks... one thing the weekend did show me was that i MUST MUST MUST continue to work on setting emotional boundaries with others, particularly family members. my hubby was sooo great the last few days(dh works like a dog and bless his heart, this devil child wreaked havoc on our home for three days) and he was so supportive of ME. i am grateful for that and also grateful that i have a brain in my head, unlike my sister who is an IDIOT ok, thanks for letting me cyber vent. hope y'all had a great turkey day and grabbed some great bargains since..

All of the above? Many of the listed places have it, but not all. You can certainly get it at a pet store, but usually Wal-Mart and Target have it too. And some grocery stores and hardware stores depending on how big their pet section is. It's a common thing.

Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn
