What a night....

[Morticia]

yep. this was definately the last time. I will take the "Laundry facilitie's available" off the website. Also the small dogs allowed.
I love dogs and hate to turn people away , but even thou I charge $35.00 extra per night, I really don't think it's worth it. Stripping the whole room....here it is 2:40 pm and I am only on my second blanket....not even the sheets or towels...told my guests: "I am sure glad I live here, I'd still be here tomorrow doing all that laundry".....

OHHHH you had that on your website...well no wonder. Glad you are taking it off!!! Room rate does not include your water, detergent and fabric softener:-(
.

Finally had time to take it off my ewb site...no more laundry, no more pets...ahhhhh

We had our first (that I know of) dog 'accident' in the room. Tiny dog, tiny accident. Hubs said, 'How did you find THAT?' ha, ha, I said, 'It looked out of place.'

.

That's funny....
One couple told me bout an experience they had at another B&B.....A guy came downstairs to the common room and said to the Innkeeper, " My dog messed in the room, could you go and clean it up?"
I would have shown him and his dog the door.....
The nerve some people have....

I would have resented the implication that he was 'too good' to clean up after his dog, but it was ok for me to do so. And I would have thanked him for letting us know immediately so we could take care of it. Best to do it yourself rather than have the guests just smear it everywhere and use the good towels to do so.
My guess is the guests here never even saw it. We got right after it with carpet cleaner in the hopes it doesn't get permanently 'marked' as a place in the room to do that.

I think I would want people to let me know too so I can make sure it is really clean. But I guess this guy was the type who is used to having his personal maid with him, the way he said it, with an "goody two-shoes" attitude.

Last summer there was a summer-only fill-in kind of show on called 'The Starter Wife'. The first episode showed the family all around the pool with the dog pooping here and there. The whole family walked around it and finally the hot-shot husband called over to the wife, 'Get that cleaned up.' She yelled at the maid, 'Get that cleaned up.'
My guess is that's what the guy you mentioned was like...

i just read about a man with a new company, i think he called it doody time ... and he goes around cleaning up doogy doo from yards ... (no mention of inside cleanup) he has quite a business going because people don't want to doo it! has employees and patented pickup stuff etc. now, if he were local, i'd give him a call and ask him to doo my parking area and grounds once in a while because doggies randomly visit and doo their business. or tourists decide to walk their dogs through here on the sly and don't pick up ... when i spot them, boy do i spout off! so rude.

When we had the dog, the youngest son had doggie-doo-doo duty. At least once a week he had to do our yard and both neighbors since Sparky was not particular about property lines when he was providing free fertilizer.

Wow, I had a service like that 20 years ago in upstate New York - Gene the Canine Man. It was $5/week and the best $5 I ever spent every week to clean up my yard from my dog. Loved that guy, but no longer have a dog.

It may not be too late...we have our dog trained to only go in a certain area of the yard. We did that as soon as we moved here. She was used to the command 'out back' from the old house. (At the old house, 'out back' meant this overgrown swale that we never mowed. Here it means behind the shed!)
Being somewhat fastidious, she will start at the top of the hill and progressively make her way down. When she gets too close to the neighbor's house, I keep telling her to 'move along' until she gets back to the top of the hill. That whole top to bottom process takes about a month so by the time she gets back to the top everything has 'washed away'. This process keeps the yard clean for guests. (Guests I expect to pick up after their pets and provide scooper bags for that purpose. Some totally ignore my requests. Idiots.)

Funny how this topic sidetracked. haha! With 2 dogs, even though they're both only around 23 lbs, we do "poo patrol" at the very least daily. Sometimes we do it twice a day. Definitely not our favorite job but something that has to be done!!

Every day, twice a day, three times a day.
