house and his oral fixation part 2/?

[lord-overlips]

Canon Overlord would be the worst housemate in existence.

Eats all your food, fucks with the door open, doesn't pay rent on time, thinks it's funny to hide shit from you, hits on your girlfriend. I could go on.

Idk if I could fix him but I could probably make him mildly more approachable

You know what's funny are people saying Jack Seward has his friends as morality pets and you'd think Van Helsing becoming more religious would be his biggest source of ethics. But in reality, it's less that Van Helsing is an upstanding person and more like he has the authority to take a spray bottle and hose Jack down when need be. That's literally it.

most of my friends are going to be busy this week and i love that for them because they’re doing a bunch of fun stuff they’ve been planning for like a year now HOWEVER. i am now accepting applications for anyone who wants to have custody of me this week

anyway Keith Swanson is what happens when a puppyboy becomes a puppyman. I refuse to elaborate but I am eternally correct.

Update on the whippet: she has shit in every kennel in the house, as well as the carpet of the dog room. I kind of hate her.

is there like a curse you get put under when you decide that you like cold weather better than hot weather to never ever shut the fuck up when someone expresses a different opinion on the subject, or is that just a choice you are all making

Reggie training update: We are starting to go days without accidents!! We are getting SO CLOSE

[cirrusea]

The horrors are real and they're taking the form of this puppy that I'm babysitting who just used the rug as a bathroom at 4 am

How to Keep a House Clean with Dogs

Whether you have a rambunctious puppy with muddy paws who’s laser-focused on shredding toys or a sedate senior with incontinence issues, dealing with major dog messes means constant cleanup. Having the right dog gadgets and products makes it easier to handle this never-ending task.

1. Keep floors clean with dogs: Proper training can help

Working with your dog on basic house training from the get-go can go a long way in keeping your house clean and cut down on daily cleanup chores. All dogs need to understand there are no-go pee and poop zones indoors and be trained to go outdoors or use designated pee pads. 

2. Neutralize dog pee, poop and diarrhea stains and odors

Apart from inappropriate peeing, diarrhea and vomiting top the list of dog messes. The key to dog-related clean up is not only removing the stains, but also neutralizing the odors completely. Dogs have such great olfactory senses, they can smell odors that pet parents can’t and often return to mark these locations.

3. Keep muddy paws clean

Muddy paws can be a daily problem. Wipe a dog’s feet after a rigorous playtime or an outdoor adventure. Even a walk in the park can bring dust and dirt inside. Use a damp paper towel or specially formulated paw wipes.

Here are a few ways to clean dog paws:

PupMate Paw Cleaner

Earth Rated Dog Grooming Wipes

Clean Paws Drying Mitt

4. Set up no-go zones for your dog

Putting up dog gates is a great way to limit canine cleanup. Depending on the floor coverings in the home, dog gates can go a long way in maintaining a clean environment, especially carpeted areas.

5. Limit items your dog can shred and destroy

Empty trashcans or keep them covered. Put items away and out of your dog’s reach. If your dog is a shredder, limit stuffed items like throw cushions. Dogs left home alone are most likely to shred things as a result of loneliness and boredom. Investing in flat toys that are free of stuffing will also limit the mess.

6. Stop the dog hair everywhere

Good and regular grooming is the greatest defense to curbing loose dog hair all over the floors and furniture. Consider brushing your dog as quality time with household benefits.

House cleaning tips for dog owners

Have a dog cleanup kit at the ready; the sooner a household mess is tackled, the better.

Stock up on cleaning products such as Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator.   It removes strong urine odor and urine stains from carpet, fabric and upholstery. Its bacterial cleaning formulation creates enzymes that continue working when you can no longer see any marks so that dogs are less likely to return to these spots.

For bigger messes such as poop and diarrhea, Sprinkle & Sweep , made from highly porous volcanic rock works to absorb the mess and odor. Cover the mess and then sweep it all away.

A powerful cordless vacuum cleaner is easy to grab and use anywhere and everywhere.

For dogs of all ages left along for lengthy periods, a strategically placed absorbent pee pad, like these Amazon Basics Leak Proof Pads, can go a long way in keeping floors clean.

Limiting household messes means you can spend more quality time playing with your dog.

Final tip for curbing pet messes: Don’t doggie shame for Instagram

We’ve all seen those photos and videos of dogs looking guilty and being berated by a pet parent after making a major mess in the home.

Don’t do it. Dogs don’t understand punishment. And, if you take it too far, you could be setting your dog up for a behavioral issue resulting in more peeing or inappropriate pooping when punished.
