Happy Day O’ Green everyone.

Allow me to take a few minutes to go back in time.
Back to a time when my follower count was closer to 5 than 45 and I woke up on a frigid December morning in Georgia to find the pups were covered in poop and the pipes were frozen in protest of the cold. Remember that? Not fun.
I’m taking you back to this awful morning because I woke today to a very similar, horrific, stinky, upsetting sight.
YES, projectile poop on my freshly vacuumed carpet, compliments of Mr. Pigglesworth.
Here’s the deal.
The pups have a rubber duckie that Z’s aunt gave them for Christmas. They love this thing. It never fails that out of all the indestructible toys we BUY them, they always love the “not really a dog toy” toys that they can tear to pieces.
Ah, the joys of owning a pet!
SO… Mr. Duck used to look like this:

Nothing out of the ordinary.
Now that the pups have had their way with him… he’s missing a few parts. Mostly in these areas:
Sad day.
Where did those parts go, you might ask?
Into little Piggy’s tummy, where they are now reeking havoc and causing a bit of a plug.
TMI?
That being said, and now that you’re cringing, Pigs is having a bit of trouble using the loo. It’s quite sad. It’s especially sad when I’m on my hands and knees scrubbing the carpet after a blow out.
Gross, I know.
We chucked Mr. Duck and have vowed only to buy indestructible toys.
Here’s hoping his tummy settles and my carpet stays poop free from now on.
BUT, amidst all the poo I suppose there is a bright side… at least the pipes weren’t frozen.
Until next time…

Anyone have any tips for really good carpet cleaners?

YES!!! I LOVE Resolve heavy duty carpet FOAM! It is a lifesaver- and walmart makes a generic brand that is just as good and a few buck cheaper. We buy it in bulk! Our almost 3 year old beagle who "wasn't completely housebroken" when we adopted him last summer is not a fan of ever being housebroken apparently, and all three dogs have a penchant for eating non-edibles. No es bueno! As a fellow frequent poop/pee cleaner upper. I know the feeling. This weekend my husband's stupid roomba rolled over a pile of puppy poop, dragged it all over our upstairs carpets, and I spent the next 6 1/2 hours steam cleaning all the floors in our house. Ugh.

OOOh, DEFINITELY NO ES BUENO. Bad Roomba.Thanks for the tip! Our pups have gotten pretty good at not going in the house, sans this messy event today. We were using Nature's Miracle for accidents which is great for keeping them from going back to those spots but not the best when it comes to getting the stain up. I'll definitely be heading to WalMart today after work!!!

AW, poor Pigs! I wish I had some rec's for you. One of those spot bots? Maybe?

I highly recommend investing in a Bissell Little Green and getting the pet stain formula. My cat went through a phase of peeing all over my book shelves while I was at school (I often didnt find it until coming home for a long weekend) and it really helped! Still had to replace the carpet, but it helped cut down on the awful smell until I could get new floors. Micki and I also used it in the apartment if her dog or my bunny had an accident. Not only is it great for pets, but also if a drink of food spill happens you dont spend a whole lot of time and energy scrubbing.
