Dog sitting

I absolutely hate it and will never do it again. This dog is not remotely house trained and I have spent half the day cleaning up it’s messes. There are spots all over my carpets too. I have half a mind to charge them for the cleaning service I have to get now. I will NOT allow this to stay in my carpets. My kids play all over my floors and just the thought of it is driving me crazy already. NEVER AGAIN!

This always happens to me when I try to help people. Tomorrow morning I have to call the carpet cleaners and make the appointment for the day after this dog is leaving. Stupid, stupid, stupid is what I am.

Time to clean the carpets

The time has come to do some carpet cleaning. It has been a long while since I have had this done and the carpets are looking ragged. Kids have a tendency to track in everything under the sun and spill everything they hold in their hands. Mine are no different. I try to keep them from doing this with certain rules about removing muddy shoes or no carrying food into other rooms, but we all know how well that works. Pretty much not at all. I am considering cleaning them more often.

My carpets are not that old. I had them put in when I bought this house five years ago and they should last a long time. Keeping them cleaned will help with that. I am also going to have to be firmer with the kids about taking drinks into the living room. I have such a weak spot when it comes to them. I wonder if I should have to couches done as well? That might be a good idea, as they are a couple of spots on them from spills. Although those were not from the kids. Those happened when an outdoor BBQ got rained on and everyone had to move inside. Oh well, I will decide later on that.
