Double The Life of Fruits & Veggies & Keep Your Fridge Cleaner!
http://pd.gophercentral.com/u/1133/c/186/a/25

April 19, 2010

Greetings...

Because I have been so busy around the 'ole homestead, I haven't had
the chance to not only tell you a little "story", but ask any "dog=

expert" his/her opinion on something that happened a few weeks ago
with my "little" Ginger. I've always considered her a little strange=

at times, but her recent behavior gave new meaning to the word...

I stripped the bed and per my usual habit, washed the comforter and
hung it outside to dry. I like to use linen spray when I put everything=

back and usually use a "clean linen" scent, which smells a heck of a =
lot
better than the usual "Great Dane scent". When I went to get the line=
n
spray, I noticed a bottle of Honeysuckle linen spray and decided to
try it for a change. I sniffed it and it smelled light enough to not
overpower the room or my nose...

Flyboy was out of town and since he gets the luxury of a fresh sheets
every night in hotels, I usually keep this routine, except for the
washing of the comforter, which gets washed every other week...

Around 8 P.M. I hauled the comforter and the pillows, which were also
outside "airing" out, back to the bedroom and proceeded to put it all=

back together. I don't know about any of you, but I, personally HATE
making beds. I don't mind doing anything in the house, except that.
Don't ask me why, but it's one of those things I hate to do. I do it,
but, like my dearly departed grandmother, who also hated making beds,
it's something I'd gladly give up in favor of...anything else. Sorry,
I was typing out loud again...

So...I spray everything with the new Honeysuckle scent, make the bed
nice and neat and forget about it...

My poochies know when it's time for bed when I shut off the TV in the
family room and race ahead of me back to the bedroom. Moosie follwed
me to the sink to get her usual nightly drink of water from the faucet =

and as I'm cupping my hands and watching her slurp the water, I glance =

up at the mirror and see Ginger in the bedroom, on the bed, having what=

I call, a "fit"!

She was pouncing on the bed, growing at the bed, twirling around in
circles on the bed and generally acting like a possessed dog. I call
out to her and ask her what she's doing, (no, she didn't answer me),
but she did stop and I swear, give me the "evil eye", and continued=

her impersonation of Linda Blair in the Exorcist. I finally yelled
at her to stop because she was making a mess of the newly made bed
when she did "it"...

"It" being...Squatted and peed ALL over the bed! I kid you not! I=

screeched at the top of my lungs and she stopped mid-stream, pounced
on the bed again and hit it with another shot of "Urine No. 5"...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK...I ran in there and she ran out of the bedroo=
m,
out the dog door, and onto the patio. She then walked over to the bedroom=

window and watched me through the window! Moosie, was standing next to =
me
wondering what the heck was going on, but never went on the bed...

Did I fail to mention that it was after midnight went I went back to bed=

and all the "fun" began?

Besides being puzzled as heck, I wasn't a happy camper and stripped the=

bed AGAIN and was thankful for the mattress pad that protected the bed =

from the super soaking that a Great Dane can do when relieving their
bladder...

I wasn't about to wait until the next day to wash everything and started=

with the comforter, followed by the sheets and matress pad. Ginger did =

finally come in and acted like nothing had happened and seemed to wonder=

why we weren't all going to bed!

I hung the comforter and the matress pad outside and left them there
all night, because let's face it, it's not like they're going to freeze=
!
Threw the sheets in the dryer and it was after 2:00 A.M. when I threw
a sheet on the bed, grabbed a spare comforter on the bed and collapsed =

from sheer exhaustion...

And Ginger? She jumped up there, curled up next to me and went to sleep=
!

I do think I figured it out because this never happened before and
hasn't happened since, even though I have changed the bedding many
times since...

I did everything the same way I always do with the exception of one
thing...

I used a Honeysuckle linen spray instead of what I usually use. I think=

Ginger absolutely hated that scent and tried marking the bed to get rid=

of it. (Mission accomplished-sheesh!)...

I sprayed a little area with the usual scent and she didn't flinch, when=

I brought the bottle of Honeysuckle and let her sniff it, she ran away,=

which would seem to give creedence to my theory...

So...Although Ginger must think the "wet dog smell" is a scent to be=

cherished, the smell of Honeysuckle needs to be eradicated, not matter =

what the method...

If anyone "out there" has a different theory, I would certainly love =
to hear
it...

This experience doesn't make me like making beds any more than I already=

did, (or didn't)...
