And in puppy piddle news...
Along with the cat supplies at Pet Food Express today, I got myself a blacklight and enzyme cleaner kit to detect pet urine. I really bought it more for the blacklight, because I KNOW the pros are going to have to go in with the cleaner to get the stink out. I just want to know what other rooms besides my old room and my future home office were former doggie johns. This might get expensive, and if I have to fight my dad over money (and we have plenty, so we can do the home repair stuff) I want to be armed with the "we need the pros" and the exact costs. Dad, in his infinite weirdness, thinks it's OK to live in a house that smells of dog urine because "that's what you do if you love your pets."
Um, no. That's not what *I* do, and I love my pets more than most people. I also love the idea of sleeping in a room that doesn't smell like urine, doing my work in a home office that doesn't smell like urine, and if we have to sell the house, it will be a real picnic in this market to sell a house with pet odors, even though where mom lived it's a nice area with good schools etc.
This is also why Dad cannot live by himself as he wants. He'd wind up like Father Jack on the "Father Ted Show". (I wonder if I will wind up like Mrs. Doyle? I don't know if I can bake a cake-jumper.)
