Organic Housekeeping - Part 2

What to do when your dog eats 4 cups of paper mache glue?

First, 4 cups of paper mache glue is NOT appropriate for the intestinal tract of said 11 year old boxer.

Second, first – aid for such occasion includes ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide forced down the throat of said dog to induce vomiting.

Dog does not vomit for the next hour -- family must proceed to family yoga for 1 hour.

Family comes home to COPIOUS dog vomit on front window sill. Touché !

Step 1 – use dust pan to shovel up paper mache glue, peroxide, dog food vomit into garbage bag.

Step 2 – use vinegar and water solution to spray down window, window sill and the wall to clean off excess.

Step 3 – spray with hydrogen peroxide to disinfect window, window still and wall.

Step 4 – Turn to Chair that is placed in front of said window. Use towel to towel off excess dog vomit from chair. Scrub “soiled” area with soap and water lifting excess liquid with yet another towel.

Step 5 – Spray with a light vinegar water mixture to deodorize fabric on chair

Step 6 – Two days later when chair still smells, use mixture of borax and water and scrub chair again lifting excess liquid with towel. Wait 2 days for chair to dry vacuum off white flakes.

Step 7 - If smell proceeds, throw chair to the curb

Okay the last step is not very organic, but the chair is 25 years old has been stitched together several times and has most of the springs removed from it.

It’s a dog chair people, I needed to get rid of it anyway!

AMEN!
