Jake, caught on video on couch - Part Due

The Febreeze should work!

There is also a really good enzyme product called Zapsit that I use and also works extremely well, but you have to order it over the internet. I think it works better than Nature's Miracle and you don't need to soak the area.

Good luck.

I think controlling the odor would be a better option than trying to keep Jake off the couch. Control the odor on the sofa, bathe the dog, keep the couch, save a whole lot of money.

Nope. 18 inches is all you need. It's propane. The temperature delta is only 20 degrees. In other words, if the room is 70 and the stove is on, then the couch is only 90. I use infrared analysis on the couch to test for safety. Plus, when you are sitting on the spot that Jake likes and the stove is on, you are toasty warm.

sit on your stinky dog couch?

or you could come over here and sit by my wood burner on my "old" lady garage sale couch....it's ok, the old lady smell dissipated after a few weeks of leaving her house.


ick...i hate the smell of febreeze...though I haven't smelled the new flavors.

Please do not try and make sense with me. This is a war of wills. My will over his or his over mine or something like that. I must overcomplicate this like I do so many other things in my life.

you got that right.

My actual solution is that I just don't invite people over to the house.

Seriously. I made the decision to have the animals. In many ways they are my "children". That means I have accepted that they are sometimes stinky and sheddy and that they are masters of destruction with paper products. They also can clear the room sometimes with stink from both ends.

The cats have litter boxes that stink if I don't stay on top of it. They get the zoomies and careen into things and one of the little brats likes to shove things off counters. My broken ceramic index has gone through the roof since he moved in under it. (The beast in question is currently running a full speed obstacle course through the house bouncing off walls, baby gates and unsuspecting dogs).
All of this to say, I'm sure my house smells funny. I know the fur is out of control when I don't stay on top of the vacuuming. I don't really notice the smell or the fur if truth be told. When people are coming over I go through a flurry of cleaning and disinfecting and deodorizing. I figure anybody coming to the house loves me and understands the importance my pets. Friends and family all know to not drop in unannounced, so I have time to get the place sterilized. People that do drop in unannounced deserve what they get.

I do understand your frustration, PC. But if you actually want Jake on the sofa and on the bed with you then others will just deal with the smell and the fur. If you truly don't want him up there then perhaps you can block off that room when you are gone or can crate Jake.

Good luck either way. Pick whichever one makes you the happiest.

Duh. That would seem the obvious choice, wouldn't it? However PC seems determined to be unhappy about this situation.
