Finally....Carpet Is Clean

[Janet]

I finally got the family room carpet cleaned and waiting on it to dry. Now I need to figure out how to keep the dogs from having accidents. It doesn't happen often, but it sure makes me angry.

I need to do the living room carpet also, but will have to wait so I can move that furniture in the family room. I just hope it stays clean for awhile...so one seems to really care except me.

It is such a nice feeling when you finished cleaning , maybe you can put a baby gate up and not have them go in when unsupervised.. Just a suggestion..

Glad you got your carpet done Janet, I'm sure that makes ya happy. It is nice when things are clean, but it is hard to keep it clean for long with the doggies. One of mine has accidents from time to time, it is annoying, but ya gotta love 'em. Mine are wherever we are, we don't confine them except at night time. I swear they are just like small children.. Toys all over the living room it's actually funny at times, just trying to keep those picked up.

Paula, my 2 boys are just like that, wherever we are - there they are! I have one little boy who marks a few sprinkles here and there. But we don't have much carpet (and those rooms are closed off - Gary and I don't go in them) so they just wipe up.

Janet, I know it feels so good to have a clean carpet, but mine just gets dirty even when they are hardly walked on. There is carpet in a tiny little hallway (probably 3 ft. X 4 ft.) and in my mom's bedroom and TV room which is the 3rd bedroom in my house. I had the carpets cleaned after she moved over with my daughter - about 18 months ago. My hubby and I walk on that little tiny hall carpet, maybe once a day or less and it just looks awful. I love a clean carpet, but I wish I didn't have any!

I know what you mean Gayle, it is sprinkle time for us too.... Halle is in heat, this is the only time he does it. I try not to get too upset, I know it's just him being a male I wish I didn't have any carpet too! Someday maybe we can replace it. For now I guess most of us just have to deal with at least a few rooms of carpet.

I wish I could blame Rowdy's sprinkling on a female in heat - but he just does it because he can!
