• jennie_c_d Posted : 12/30/2006 10:11:24 AM Stepping in slugs is DISGUSTING. Ugh. There are a LOT of reasons that I don't have coated dogs, and this is one of them. It takes all of half a minute to bathe my dogs, towel dry them, and throw them back out the door[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jenhuedepohl Posted : 12/30/2006 10:19:34 AM LOL! It sounds like some good times at the Jones house! We've had those days, too. My friends laugh when I tell them the best gift my hubby ever gave me wasn't the opal bracelet or the diamond earrings... it was the CARPET CLEANER! Man, there are days when the kids have the stomach flu or the dogs have eaten who knows what and I just want to hug my Hoover SteamVac! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tashakota Posted : 12/30/2006 7:03:24 PM Do you ever just cut the fur off?  lol...  I've done that with Kota so many times, just the other day in fact.  he he...  Thank goodness not very often but with his long tail and long "pants", it usually ends up with about 2 inches cut off of each to make them even!!  You can still see some cut fur at the very tip of his tail when he had a really bad spout and I had to cut off a lot.  The other day was just a little so I went snip snip in just that spot.  [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 12/30/2006 8:21:43 PM This reminds me of when Ella decided to roll around outside in my in-laws' dog's poop. She was outside playing with him and all of a sudden, we go out there and she's got it SMEARED on her from head to toe. On her coat and her collar. And we still had to drive home with her! God, it was HORRIBLE. I hope your pup's tummy is OK. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• SaraD Posted : 12/30/2006 8:28:43 PM ORIGINAL: Xerxes Jones,  I've been there...in fact I'm at the tail end of it right now.  But the best is finding a pile in the dark when you're struggling to find your way to the bathroom.  There's something about putting one's foot into it that is indescribably disgusting. Amen on that one!! I have to say that that exact situation is the only time I heard my husband scream like a girl. --Sara 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Man, there are days when the kids have the stomach flu or the dogs have eaten who knows what and I just want to hug my Hoover SteamVac! The best impulsive purchase I ever bought was our Bissell Heat Steamvac. That has saved many a carpet. BTW, speaking of kid messes. My mother for years has been on my case about my collection of bedding. It is HUGE folks. She was there for a bout of the stomach flu and from then on she stopped nagging me about the amount of blankets I had. --Sara 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• SaraD Posted : 12/30/2006 8:35:31 PM I have been there myself Jones! I have even had to cut Shannara's (pekingese) fur during a particular explosive episode. That was no fun --Sara 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Michelle Posted : 12/30/2006 8:54:21 PM This is poo related, but kid poo. My mom tells the story of one of my older siblings who fingerpainted with rather liquid poo one day after awakening from a nap in their crib (I SWEAR it was not me!!!!). She was pregnant at the time, and said she had to stop periodically in cleaning it up to go throw up herself! Now if that's not a story to scare all the teens into abstinence, I don't know what is! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
