Death storm

Dogdeacon said:
I play fetch outside every morning with my labs (14yrs still fetches, and 1), I like the 10 minutes of piece to start the day regardless of weather though summer certainly better. Some people like walks, I like throwing a ball and watching the dog jump & have fun. Kids love the dogs and get comfort and companionship. Took the puppy mountain biking in the fall and listening to her breathe behind me & my 13yr old was great fun, can't wait until its warm enough to restart.
Then when I come home they are always happy to see me, find me later at night to lie near - but not too close. Its all about the right kind of dog for the family.

Is Fishy still alive?

Yes.

My mother left yesterday afternoon with the dog.

The couch has been both condemned and professionally-cleaned. The company that came on a Sunday to clean the couch at a premium declared it perfectly fine because it has (insert fancy name) foam cushions that do not absorb liquids. They took it away yesterday and brought it back today. Nevertheless, we’re buying a new couch.

The bedding in the guest room where the dog slept was not peed on. It was all run through the washing machine anyway and donated to the thrift shop. And then the mattress got cleaned by the people who were here to clean the couch. The cleaning people were visibly nervous talking to my wife; honestly, given the level of intensity with which she directed them, I’m sure they think we killed someone and are trying to get the evidence off the furniture.

It’s going to snow on Wednesday. I’ve explained to my mother that neither of us would survive another day being in the house with my wife and her dog. She has a reservation at a Hilton for Wednesday just in case.

We’re also running a full house now and probably couldn’t fit them in anyway. My sister-in-law and her kids are here because their house still doesn’t have power. Ironically, my nephew has peed two mattresses in this house in the past, but is somehow still welcome. (In fairness, he was three at the time. Those mattresses were both thrown away. Seriously.)

Your wife seems like a very measured and reasonable individual.

The veterinary economics and hygiene of pet ownership makes no sense. They are filthy animals, and humans should not have to pick up feces. Somebody should open up centers where people who want some pet time can come in and for $10 spend an hour or 2 with a dog or cat then go back to a clean home. No dropping at the kennel and no end of life drama either because one day you go there to see Fido and he’s been neatly replaced by a nearly identical Spot.

Light-years of difference between dogs and cats.

Cats are extremely clean, to the point that they are petrified of leaving their trace anywhere, hence leaving it all in a well-contained box, buried. They also don't slobber on things.

As long as you can keep them from clawing the s___ out of your furniture, you'll barely notice them except when you want to.
 
So...

Fishy's mom's dog pees on couch. Fishy is nearly beheaded and the couch is cleaned and soon to be discarded. Dog is told to hit the bricks never to return.

Mrs. Fishy's sister's son pisses a bed twice but is still beloved. Mattresses are replaced like they are tissues.

Hardly seems fair does it?

I still want to know why the couch had to be cleaned to be thrown out. That piece in this drama fascinates me.

That's basically true unless you have a Siamese, they won't leave you alone. They do like to lick their butthole in front of you with no shame. Very flexible!

I think it makes more sense on the ground here than it does from a distance.

I agreed with cleaning the couch. I’m good with that. Even though I think I cleaned it adequately, there is piece of mind in having a couple of people with fancy crap and wands and vacuums come over to pretend to do magic to the couch. Cleaning the couch brings a sense of calm to the immediate crisis. Peace, temporarily, has been restored - it’ll be 2-3 months before a new couch is delivered, so this is fine.

I don’t think we need a new couch, but I also don’t want to die on that hill. As long as I don’t have to go and be involved with picking it out, I don’t really care one way or another.

Can I have the couch

Actually, yes.

Our next door neighbors, who put our last two couches in their finished basement, have already laid temporary claim to it. But if they don’t take it, you can have it.

You just have to get to New York in a vehicle big enough to carry it - I’m not helping your ass strap it to the top of a Tercel or anything like that.

The couch should be donated to some West Virginia U. booster group, so they can burn it to celebrate their next big victory in any sport.

Stop. It’s not like she had a UV black light overnighted from Amazon to check to make sure there’s no pee residue on the couch or the mattress.

On the mattress stage we have the Havanese Fluffy! Don't forget to tip.

Tell that to the hell beast that lost its mind in our house. Damn thing peed on every carpet and on my wife's planner which was ON the kitchen table at the time. We can't leave shoes on the floor or they get peed on too. The only thing that sorta helped was these phermone things. We have two of the plug in ones that are like the air freshener plug ins but they release kittybecool juice. One is upstairs and one is near the shoes downstairs. And the cat is also wearing a phermone collar. I hate this cat. My son's college essay was about this cat's mental breakdown and the hell that ensued.

I bought the same one! By the way, be careful with the protective glasses you use. Those put out a lot of UV and you want good glasses.

BTW, did she lose her mind when she walked around the house with it? Some things are better left unrevealed!

Yep, I know if I ever used one in a hotel, I'd never be able to stay in one again.

"The ceiling too? WTF?"

On a somewhat related note, stains on ties often show up with blacklight. Can be embarrassing at a club or concert when in use...

This is random but just reminded me... After the Final Four win vs Florida in 2014 one of my friends burned a couch outside and my buddies were instantly hit with a ticket.
