I love my dogs, but not as much as I use to. I can hear the gasps and tsk, tsking of those of you that do not have children yet. Don't judge me. I know that you are thinking "I can never love a child more than I love my dog". I know this because that is exactly what I said for 32 years. I could not imagine a life where I didn't sleep with dogs on my bed every night. And then I had a baby. Fast forward 2 years later. I now have a toddler, a baby, a husband, and 2 dogs that total over 140. That's lbs., ladies. Now the dogs have been evicted from the bed and get to sleep on the floor of our bedroom. I say "get to" because the alternative is the cold, hard patio outside. I told you I love my dogs. So, I have stumbled on a little concoction that makes that deal more livable. I don't have the time to bath the furry children as much as I should. Here is my solution. I call it Stank B Gone. What you need is a spray bottle, tea tree oil, baking powder and a wash cloth. Add enough water to lightly spray the dog until he/she is damp, not wet. Put in a few drops of tea tree oil (enough so that you can smell it when you spray it) and a few shakes of baking powder. Shake it up and mist it on the dog. Rub that stanky fur with your wash cloth. Works like a charm and it buys be a few more weeks of not having dog hair my shower. Momma happy.
ALERT: I have not had Stank B Gone tested for safety or anything else. If you are ify on how this would affect your dog, don't use it. It works on my dogs and, so far, they still have all their fur, although if most of it fell out that would keep me from having to vacuum so much. Try it if you think it might work for yours, but be sure and adjust the tea tree oil and baking soda to the size of your dog.
