I'm right on top of it all.....

So...some times our dog is a bit irregular...Hey, it happens to the best of us.  Unfortunately, Mia is generally irregular in the middle of Austin's bedroom.  To help with this, we have invested in a carpet cleaner and keep it stocked with fresh water, cleanser, and have it ready to go.

The other day I walked in from dropping the girls off at school and my nose caught whiff of that tell tale sign.  Damn.  I grabbed a Target bag that we stash for dog accidents and the such, a handful of paper-towels, not-so-silently cussed out the dog as I pounded my way down the bedroom hallway.  I quickly used the paper-towel to clean the wet mess and tied the bag up.  I applied a generous amount of baking soda/pet cleaner mixture, allowed the 10 minute soak time, and went to town with the carpet cleaner.  Then comes the fanning of Febreeze in the room, turning on of the overhead fan, and washing of the carpet cleaning bucket.  The room still kinda had a stench to me, but it was a NASTY mess, so I figured it needed a little bit of time.

When three days later there was STILL a funk about the room, Jim took the air purifier that we use in our bedroom for allergies and thought maybe that would help.  Nope.  Still stench.

But you know what did help?

When Jim took out the Target bag of poop that I had put on the back of the door and forgot about because I was so busy doing everything else.

Mommy fail.

(Insert laughter here.   We did.  It's all you can do sometimes.)
