Why must my house stink?

I got a little behind on housework during the week I was making costumes. No biggie. But this week I've been trying to catch up.

I changed the dogs beds and cleaned up around their area in preparation for moping the following day. I also scrubbed the kitchen, sanitized the garbage disposal, and aired out the house.

THEN Steve comes homes and washes both dogs. While it is true they will smell better in the long run, wet dog is not a plesant smell.

THEN the following morning we awake to the fact our Border Collie had the runs in the middle of the night, all over the living room floor. Steve, love that he is, cleans it up.

BUT while doing so, managed to step in poo in the yard and walk it thorugh the entire house. True, I was going to mop anyway, but now I have to change out my bucket three times to make sure it's all sanitized properly. Hours later, the house smells wounderful. Floors shine, pillows and chairs have been freebrezed, windows opened and house aired.

THEN half an hour later Will does a big job and I don't know how, but the stink managed to affect over half my house; and it hung around for hours. The damn window was open in his bathroom, how he managed to poloute half my house I'll never know. A few hours of peace and non stink.

THEN Will throughs up on his bed. While taking him to Steve to watch as I clean up his room, he vomits all over the living room. Steve takes him to the bathroom, where he spits up on the floor. I'm changing bedding and getting fresh mop water. But I still have a pile of stinkly laundry. This morning everything seems okay; I'm working on orders, the guys are gone.

THEN the whiff of poo slithers into the office. Winkels not only pooed right next to the room I was in, but by the front door as well. I spank her butt and put her outside, and run some more mop water.

The really sad thing, is that all of this happened in about 36 hours.

I know, when the dogs are dead and Will is gone, I'm going to miss them. Yeah, I will. But I can guaran-damn-t you that I'll never once miss the smells they leave behind. LOL
