Swiss Lick Swissies

Swissy prep

Thursday, June 24th, 2010 | Dogs

As I mentioned, we are in Swissy puppy preparation mode. The little bugger comes home tomorrow… We are excited, stressed, and tired, but it’s all good.

We decided the our house needed a bit of an overhaul, so we’ve been working hard. We shampooed the carpet upstairs repeatedly trying to get rid of what our incontinent Basset had done. I think we had the main breakthrough (at least in odor since you couldn’t see anything) last night when I used the Simple Solution cleaner meant for carpet shampooers. It did an absolutely fantastic job!

We also worked on the wood floor in the dining room – another area that has fallen victim to the dogs in our house. The polyurethane in a few places had worn away, so after trying repeatedly with enzyme cleaners to get rid of the smell, we decided it would be best if we fixed the floor. So we scraped, cleaned, stained, cleaned, and polyurethaned the floor, and we’re ready to go.

We’ve been placing some area rugs around the first floor (cheap ones so we don’t mind if they’re ruined) to allow for better traction with soft puppy paws.

And, this may be the most important thing….

We charged and replaced batteries in all the equipment that takes pictures or video, so we are ready to go!
