So, I've been wanting to try this blog thing for a long while. I'm just not a good writer, I thought. Well who cares? I'm going to write anyways and see what happens.
Today, something particularly gross and funny happened that finally gave me the push I needed to start blogging. Here's a little background information: I have two dogs, a cat, and three chickens. I would have more if I had a bigger house/property. So needless to say, I'm good at cleaning up messes. Growing up, I lived on a farm and cleaned horse stalls, cow barns, etc. Essentially what I'm trying to say is that it is hard to gross me out. Well today Penny (the youngest dog) got me good.
Earlier this morning my husband let the dogs out to potty and then let them back in. Little did we know that that was a bad idea. I was still trying to sleep so the dogs did their normal morning wrestling match and I fell back to sleep. Then I woke up....What the hell is that stench?! Penny is known to have a gassy tummy, but this was unlike any smell I had smelled in all my 24 (almost 25) years. I immediately put the dogs out and didn't have to search far to find the surprise that Penny had left on the tile hearth. It was unbelievable but pretty contained. Really, I didn't know how to tackle it at first. Should I wipe it up with a towel....well there's so much of it....it can't really be picked up though, it's not solid enough....This was my train of thought. Finally after leaving the scene to clear my head and my nose I decided on a plan.
Usually since I am not grossed out by much I don't use plastic gloves. Well today was an exception. I donned my plastic gloves, grabbed the trash can, a couple bottles of cleaner, the dust pan, and a roll of paper towels. After getting the bulk of it in the trash can I discovered some drops on the rug. No biggie right? Actually it was. This rug is the only piece of home decor that I have ever loved. She s*@# on my rug!!! Ok so I got out the carpet cleaner and that wasn't as bad as I imagined. Unfortunately after cleaning and removing the trash can it still smells horrendous. Maybe it's just stuck in my nose. Regardless, the windows are open and the air purifier is going. I may freeze to death, but death is better than that smell. Anything is better than that smell.
Now that I have grossed everyone out, I suppose that's it for my first post. Next time hopefully the topic will be more pleasant!
Peace out!
