The end of the tether
I have just about had enough.
I postponed the carpet shampooing yesterday because I was bollixed. Last night Penny decided to treat me to a series of floods on the carpet. I’m running short of paper again.
This morning, she woke me by jumping off the bed and greeting the day with a massive flood on the bedroom carpet. The room is beginning to stink again. The soda I had sprinkled yesterday had soaked up a fair quality of pee and had formed a crust on the floor. I decided against entering the Manor in the “Home of the Year” thing on television.
After making myself a mug of tea I sat to contemplate the situation. Penny promptly peed on the carpet again. Where the fuck does she get all that liquid from?
I hauled out the machine and filled it up with shampoo and a dash of disinfectant. I did the bedroom floor. I refilled the tank and started on the living room floor. I had to fill the tank again. I eventually finished and both carpets look great. In particular the one in the living room looks brand new. So it should after twelve liters of water, shampoo and disinfectant. I sat back to rest my weary bones.
Penny promptly dropped a large shit on the carpet.
I give up.
I think I’ll wander down to the village and stroll around, stark naked and wishing everyone a Happy Birthday. I’d stick a tulip up my arse but they’re out of season. With a bit of luck some nice men in white coats will collect me and deposit me in a nice quiet room, all on my own, with no dog.
Peace!
Bliss!
I’m convinced our dog knows what he’s doing when he pisses and shits ‘in the wrong place’. They’ve evolved to train humans to act as their toilet attendants – clever animals!
I wouldn’t mind too much if I got a decent tip each time.
Gd, a Penny isn’t to well. Perhaps time.
Sadly it’s one of the curses of age – dementia.
Our Lily often wees on the carpet, because she hasn’t been out late at night, so it’s really my fault!
Last evening, I made a special effort and we got out around 9.00pm, and so far as I’ve checked, it seems to have worked…
Hope Penny does not have an infection. We have wood and tile floors and washable rugs because most dogs pee and poop inside.
Welcome Tanya! Yes, Penny did have a kidney infection a while back. She went on a course of antibiotics which cleared the infection. She has been tested since and got the all clear. Sadly we all reckon the current “lack of house training” is just down to dementia. I didn’t realise that dogs could go down that path but apparently it’s not that uncommon.
