I can't toss 'em either.<BR/><BR/>Trade ass smell for yellow lab hair, blood, slobber and pee; swap your basement for my garage and you'll know the only reason it's sparkly clean now. Had I not known better, I would have accused my husband of turning loose our vacationing neighbors dogs himself just so I'd get the whole thing spotless while he was safely at work!<BR/><BR/>I trapped 'em in there for an hour and a half while I figured out what to do and they completely trashed the place and most everythig in it.<BR/><BR/>I guess sometimes it takes a disaster to finally get things done, but I really am glad I finally tackled it, even if it wasn't on my own terms.Angeleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458315604863621603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-12258930985972068492007-08-14T14:03:00.000-05:002007-08-14T14:03:00.000-05:00Oh, yuck!
