Baths

The problem with washing these big old bird dogs is that the only thing that smells worse than dirty dog is wet dog. And, while dirty dog is just on the dog, WET dog permeates everything. So to improve stinky Pete, who so sorely needs it, he first has to get much worse and it comes off on me and all our surroundings as well.


It might have been better, some would think, to just leave the dirty dog alone, because now the mess is everywhere. Drains clogged, hair on the ceiling, wet towels draped all over. Yuck.


But tomorrow, after a bit of Drain-O, with the towels in the laundry and the vacuuming done, Pete will be all minty-eucalyptus fresh and the world our oyster again. It has to be done.

  1. put a Bounce dryer sheet underneath the seat in your car.....it gets rid of even the worst just-rolled-in-it dog perfume.

  2. You can wipe the hem of your static-ridden dress with that same dryer sheet and dog hair will stop springing to your hem as if magnetized. Enough Bounce and who would even know we had them?
