She flooded. Not only did the rain they had do it, but one of the pipes in the bathroom sprung a leak that wasn\u2019t tiny. From what she said, it looked like a literal fountain spraying up and as an extra bonus, a mega waterfall, that not only got the bathroom carpet soaked, but also spilled out into her living room.<\/p>\n<p>Now picture this: She has light tan carpet in the bathroom and off white Berber,\u00a0 in the living room, along with these beautiful oriental rugs that cost her a mint. She also has two cocker spaniels, who are quite rowdy. (to say the least). Like the sometime ditz she is, and I do use that term affectionately, and love her to death, but sometimes she doesn\u2019t think\u2026 Especially in a situation where she is totally experiencing a virtual disaster. Okay, so she heard the dogs at the door whining, and yep\u2026let them in. Yes, though the rain had stopped, SHE didn\u2019t stop to think that it might be a bit muddy outside??? LOL! (sure, I can laugh because I no doubt would have done the same thing, as my cocker is the son of hers and he\u2019s my baby).<\/p>\n<p>Imagine two muddy dogs, running around like they are on a pure sugar buzz, on a already soaked carpet and rugs. The way she was telling me this, had me laughing hysterically, because she has this deep Texan accent and when she has a story to tell or something major happening, she barely stops to take a breath, and tells it in total minute detail. Long story, (believe me) short,\u00a0 apparently the mud from the dogs, mixed in with the water on the floors had turned a deep gray and brown. Ick! She told me about calling a place named Carpet cleaning Marble Falls, then said \u201cI love you\u201d and just\u2026hung up. I sat there with the phone in my hand, looking at it, and shaking my head. She of course loves her carpet, so apparently she knows a place that will help with this disaster. I\u2019m waiting to hear back from her. LOL!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My poor girlfriend who lives in Texas called with great (sarcasm inserted) news on her end.
