Happy Monday, Pond!

Used to sprinkle some cayenne pepper in areas I didn't want the dog or neighbors cat to use as a toilet. A sniff or two and they didn't want to use that area. Of course when it was windy or rainy or whatever had to retreat often. But Dollar Tree has the biggest bottles of condiments for $ 1.00

I’ll have to try that in the basement for my cat. Every now and then he chooses to poop on the floor. (No pee, thank goodness!) Not sure why

Good morning everyone! I jus want to post a quick heads up its a busy time of year so ill have to take a short hiatus to get the family past the holidays. If i dont get to pop in to say it, yall have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, Turk!

Leaving for home.....i miss best do much.... is just so sad

Well when we started all this with the bleeding ulcers and dizzy spells . We had started trying to get Ben in a group home.With the center where he is.Thought it was all set and it could not be done.We are asking for respit
care .that is taking for ever. All we own is our farm .Even if we sold it the money would not keep Ben up for very long.We have to turn him over to the
State I just can't do that I just can't . Breaks my heart knowing at some point it has to happen.And there is no one that can do what I do for him.So I cry tears of great sadness for my Ben.Because I know it will hurt him when it happens. BUT I GOT GOOD NEWS NO SURGERY NOW
doctor says my nerve is floating there are sighns of improvement .So he dosen't recommend it now .if it worsens call for an appoint.

Hooray for no surgery!!!

Does Ben need to become a ward of the state before Medicaid would pay for his care? You are a good father, K. Of course no one can do for him all that you do.

I made it home.... what a mistake was that

I wish I had words to help you feel better, Phil. All I've got is .

Ya know my nice new flooring?

Turns out the dog (not mine, spouse's) is peeing on it CONSTANTLY... in just one spot area.

I told spouse... your dog, you take care of it.... (as in get the dog to no longer pee in the house... or figure out something to save the new floor... )

At first spouse said nope, it wasn't the dog... I was overwatering the rubber tree... took me DAYS to convince spouse that I was NOT, it was the dog.



Spouse is still doing a POOR job at making sure the dog doesn't pee on the floor....

I think the floor is starting to show signs of damage...



I will give it a good scrub in the morning and see...

I am thinking to perfectly clean and dry the floor... then tarp that entire area...with a huge tarp....

Might work.

Natures miracle under the tarp.... It removes the odor that dogs associate with "Pee here"

Oh what ever you do do not put that tarp down on Humid floor.... Invites Mold.

Oh... and @LittleLakePhil and should he go for 12 volt or 18 volt?

I obviously ain't Phil, but 24V if possible....I think that's the current max available.

It's really hard to break peeing habits. Our sweet neighbor (83) has a chihuahua cross that she gave up on and now just puts 'puddle pads' every where. It's kinda gross, and she could probably get the dog to stop, but she's not very mobile or alert enough to the dog's behavior to do much about it.

you just described my mom... though she has been able to get the dog to go outside... But if its raining out all bets are off.
