Actually when I first bought the house and chose white carpet, my friends teased me: "Uh oh, she doesn't want kids!" As it turned out, I can use Javex on white carpet! It cleaned Diego's mess like magic: dirt is disappearing as you watch, oh yeah it's that fast. Of course my whole house smells like a swimming pool at times, but that's all part of having a pet, right?
OMG, are you psychic? Another person just said this to me today.
We are actually not sure about Diego's breed: the shelter said he's golden/lab mix, but my vet said he definitely has some collie blood (because of the white paws), and his mom looks like a mix of lab and some kind of hound. I almost want to do a DNA test or something to determine his breed. Is there such service?
