I have been wicked sensitive to food odors lately, but now my nose has turned on my dog. Puppy hasn't been to the groomers for several months now. I was going to take him this month, but I thought it might be best to wait just before my trip back home, so I'm not making two trips. I think my thriftiness is catching up with me.
The dog stinks. I've given him baths. I've even rubbed him with a waterless shampoo. He just plain-old needs a haircut and a good scrubbing only a groomer can do. It's making my whole house smell like dog. I had to close the windows because I thought the housing people were going to power-wash my house (silly me for believing them!!!), so I haven't let fresh air in all day. Well, I've been feeling nauseous and it's because of the canine stench that is just sitting in the air.
So here's my plan: 1) Get Hubby to give him a really good bath before he leaves for deployment, 2) Arm & Hammer the carpet (it's a verb when it works so well), 3) scrub the floors, and 4) promptly schedule the next groomer appointment for mid to end of February (close to my trip). Of course, this will need the kid to be confined or asleep or something, so it's a little harder said than done, but it must be done! I can't take it!
*Also, what to do about the garbage disposal?? We don't use it that often, but it seems to constantly reek. I've tried just about everything, including lemons and ice cubes and bleach. Any suggestions? It stinks almost as bad as the dog.

Oooh honey, don't pour bleach down there - it's not good! Lemon juice (or lemon rind) is the only thing I know that works. Maybe it needs to be cleaned out or changed...my parents sometimes have to do that with theirs...???
