Help! was Dogs eating turkey was OT Turkey Alert!
Amen to that. It gets up barf and loads of hair.
Gen "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ... Doggie muddy feet and doggie barf convinced me to buy my own carpet shampooing machine. It's amazing and I love it! It's a Bissell Pro Heat 2X- around $180 and a great investment. Ask Gen- she loves hers, too!- you'll be shocked at what that baby gets out of your carpets. Pure mud and gobs and gobs of pet hair that's worked it's way down into the nap- even with vacuuming religiously it still finds all kinds of yuck in there. Wonderful machine and not difficult to use..... even for an ol' arthritic like me. VBG Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Sorry, Pauline. I just assumed that since Leslie had four much loved QIs inside that she would be the expert. We have carpet and a Yorkie who does occasionally kiss a toad to see if he'll turn into a prince. The hurling that follows reminds him not to do that again (for a while) The procedure is simple. Scrape up the solids, blot up the sour and then we follow the instructions on the Woolite Carpet Pet Stain spray can. We've used other brands and they've all worked just fine. Sometimes it takes more than one application; never any permanent damage. I know the HGtv people are just pure goofy about hardwood floors but we won't do that again. We had truly magnificent pecan floors for 25 years. They are loud, cold, and, if you'll pardon me, just a little puddle of puppy pee can do serious damage. It's time for me to get going but there's a 'furthermore'. The magazines and tv folks have also gone crazy about stainless steel appliances. Can you just imagine how many times a day you'd have to polish off sticky fingerprints and doggy nose snuffles? Polly "Pauline" wrote in message ... I know we should look at alternatives. When we redid the kitchen & family room, we put tile on those floors & in the entryway. We were going to put hardwood thru the rest of the house with some area rugs, but all the flooring people have told us the dog will scratch the hardwood. Personally, I like a "lived in" look, but I know DH would have a heart attack if the dog started scratching the floor. We do play with him in the house too; he likes to play "keep away" & it would be hard for him to do that on a slippery floor. I know - are we designing the house around the dog or around the people - clearly, it's around the dog! Someone suggested we look at commercial carpet, because it is more stain resistant - but it doesn't sound very homey to me. Maybe there are nicer commercial carpets than I realize. Poor dog - clearly something didn't agree with him - he threw up 5 times & poor DH had to clean them all up. Since my hip is so new, I can't get down on the floor yet. Liam slept all night - no interest in dinner, but now that it's time to go to bed, he seems to be feeling better. Sure wish they could talk Pauline Northern California "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... I'm no help with the spot removing dilemma but I would suggest other flooring besides carpeting because you will end up right back where you started! Just a thought!!! Dreamweaver "Pauline" wrote in message ... We had an Irish Setter that stole food all the time. One day my mother slid the oven rack with a ham in a roasting pan out. She must have gotten distracted, because when she turned back to the store, the ham was gone & Tara (the dog) was nowhere to be found. She had stolen it & taken it downstairs to the garage. Bad doggie! Question - does anyone have any proven techniques for getting dog throw-up out of the carpet? Our 3 1/2 year old Brittany eats everything he runs across. We don't always see it happening, but we always find the dogs throw-up. It happens about every other month. We are almost ready to put new carpet down & after the dog threw up this afternoon, DH said & why are we putting new carpet down? (Because the old is disgusting & we knew we were replacing it, so we didn't care if we got paint on it when we were painting.) Pauline Northern California "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... She was a sight to behold! I thought her belly would burst it was so full, and you're right, all she could really do was lay around and sleep! She was quite the character. Dreamweaver "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... I seem to remember something about turkey containing something that makes people sleepy. After 22 pounds of turkey, that should have been some lovely long nap. Polly "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... LOL!!! You reminded me of the time my mom cooked a 25 lb turkey for 4 of us! Lots of leftovers...right?...see this one coming?......Brother took platter out next day to make a sandwich, left it on the counter, and yep, our Irish Setter had the best and worst Thanksgiving of her life!!!! She was miserable after eating about 22 lbs of turkey but boy was she happy!!!!! That poor baby! Dreamweaver (she was miserable for days and the post clean up wasn't exactly enjoyable either!!!!) "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Yeah, that's kind of sad about no drumsticks - and no wishbone. I remember the time my sister tried the method where you put the bird in a paper bag and set it to cook very slowly overnight. They were blasted out of bed by the smoke alarms. And the time she put her turkey in a sink full of cold water to thaw - forgetting that their lab could easily remove anything at counter height that was appealing. He did. Labradors are sweet and loyal dogs but they are tall. You'd think she would have noticed. Polly "Dreamweaver" wrote in message ... But Mz. Polly!! How can there be a fight over who gets the drumsticks if'n there ain't no drumsticks? BG Does sound a whole lot easier though! My mamma used to cook that bird until it fell off the bone, and yet it was always moist and yummy and the gravy was heavenly, just heavenly!!! Dreamweaver, who loves the dark meat!!!! "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... It is time to move your frozen turkey from the freezer to the refrigerator. If you 'are' a turkey, this is a good time to disappear. It takes a long time for a Big Bird to thaw. The quick way of putting the frozen bird in a sink of cold water and constantly changing the water is a pain. Start early if you can and simply move the turkey to the refrigerator to slowly thaw. I'm trying a new turkey production this year. Carving a turkey looks good in old movies but there are not any carving artists in our family. I've bought boned turkey breasts and hope to get away with an easier time of it. Sounds good, don't you think? Polly |
