The stain came out, the unfortunate part was that it was the same color as the carpet, thus the not finding it for several days. It was in a corner on the other side of the entertainment center.
Have you tried oxygen bleach or Spot Shot? Those two products are pretty good for laundry, and the latter is actually for carpet. We have ceramic tile floors because of ease of cleaning. (Carpet has so much surface area that having it would be like living in a Petri dish.)
The first thing I used was Fantastic, that took out most but the stain remained and if I used bleach, I’d have a more noticable stain...it was a several shades of grey berber carpet. She did throw up under a table in the living room...I just rearrange furniture so that its always covered by something...(that was years ago before oxygen type bleach). Petri dish is funny, but then penicillin was discovered by accident in a petri dish...:O)
See what I mean? You never know what you’re gonna find. On second thought, considering medication shortage issues, you might just be able to corner the market in homegrown penicillin....
That’s actually kind of scary to watch.
My previous laborador Aphrodite (RIP) became badly sickened for a while, finally managing to vomit up what was bunging up her stomach: a burrito that had stayed tightly rolled like that. Never found out where she got it.
“I just rearrange furniture so that its always covered by something.” If we put furniture everywhere somebody has barfed, home would look like a badly-planned consignment warehouse.
Resolve has always worked for me - the moist powder version that you work into the stain with a soft brush. The carpet needs to be dry & preferrably vacuumed first. After treatment, allow it to dry again & vacuum up the flakes.
It won’t get out gum or other solids stuck to the carpet. It’s strictly for stains.
What a bonehead!
Put it on a plate, you’ll enjoy it more!
My Lab is a fish fanatic.
When she came out the mother and daughter dacshsunds were finishing off the BD cake.
It was a chocolate cake and both dogs became sick. I don't remember if they had to go to the vet but they were throwing up choc cake. Could have been a case of just too much choc.
A woman can never have too much chocolate, dogs I’m not so sure of.....
Agree...I would eat it knowing it was going to make me ill. Worth it.
Our one lab use to like to lick a sock if we forgot to close the laundry room door. We would come home and find a sock that he had thrown up. One day, I caught him one day and watched what he did, he held the sock with his paws, and was licking it..getting it nice and wet, then would eat it. I grabbed it from him before he ate the sock...after that, just made sure no socks were laying around.
My coworker has golden retrievers who also eat socks, panties, anything...had to have many surgeries for bowel obstructions....
My cat Deimos has eaten
* A rubber band
* Plastic labels from apples (fruit, not computers)
* A mosquito I swatted
* A clump of hair from another cat
That boy ain’t right
Jake also has a taste for Kleenex and toilet tissue on the roll.
He would rob a Kleenex from wife’s pocket and bolt it down.
He also liked to take a bite out of the TP roll or failing that, would get the tail end and pull it down the hall.
Yeah...what IS it with the Kleenex? LOL!
Bones must be a powerful addiction.
Takes an ounce of milk chocolate per pound to be dangerously toxic.
Less than that causes jitteriness and the sugar trots.
