Foxy? Noooooo!!!...!!!!!

When I woke up at 3:25 am and hear hacking sounds coming from the foot of the bed this was my first thought...As I reach down to try to get her onto the easily washable part of my bed. I grab her and sling her toward me but not soon enough. I am hoping I got her there in time but when I turn on the light and see for myself that I did not. She has puked on my almost brand new beautiful, nearly impossible to clean king sized comforter. Foxy does not usually sleep with us anymore because of this reason..( she has a very sensitive stomach) when she slept with us I had to wash my bedding all the time and I was sick of it!!! But I thought, Daddy is gone and what the heck, she looked so cute looking up at me when I got into the bed. What's one night going to hurt? So up she went, siting peacefully at the foot of the bed resting on the folded back comforter.... After I got her locked in the bathroom I surveyed the damage.. CRAP it is all over and has leaked through from the undereath side which she was laying on to the front side which is normally in view when the bed is made. How in the hell am I going to clean this.. I do the stupid thing that I know won't work and dab at it with a wet rag.. yeah..ummm. like that is going to get this huge stain.. When I mean huge, I mean like you couldn't believe a 3lb dog had that much material in their stomach plus what ended up where I wanted it on the washable blanket. So after a few minutes of cussing and wiping realizing I am not getting anywhere I look at the care tag. "Maching wash cold, gentle cycle". Yeah right like this huge thing is going to fit in the washing maching. So what do I do.. I fill up the washing machine and start putting the affected area in there and spraying some shout and trying to scrub it out... This is never going to work.. how am I going to get it to agitate because the lid is not going to close because I only have half of the comforter in threre.. TaDa.. I look in the cabinte and see a throw-away type paint brush that I can stick the handle in the little hole thing that gets pushed down while the lid is down and I can get it to stay on its own.. Wonderful... so I wash and rinse the thing the best I could, but it won't spin, so I can'g get much water out. I try to wring it out the best I can and then lay some sheets on the floor and lay the comforter on them then get a flannel sheet and lay it on top and start walking around on it trying to get as much moisture out as I can. I now have it strung in the living room with the dry part of it draped over the coffee table and the wet part leaning over the kitchen chairs so that it can dry out..We shall see..

As for Foxy she is fine...now! She has gotten a bath and has been blow dried. I fed her ONE tiny piece of pork around dinner time that Darrin was cooking to put in their beans on his trip. I even ironically said outloud to Darrin, "I hope I don't regret this later." Well, I do regret it. I also regret letting her on the bed because if I hadn't, I would have been able to clean the carpet with my wonderful Bissell ProHeat 2X and the problem would have been easily solved. That machine is wonderful and I am sure it will come in handy once my child arrives in this world. It is a must if you have pets and carpet. Or maybe it is just my pets or the ones I pet sit that seem to get sick!

As for me.. I am a little queasy myself after having that smell (sorry if this makes you sick) engraned in my nostrils for the last hour but also getting sleepy and wanting to go back to be.

Maddie has been a good girl through out this event and has not even barked to get out of her kennell eventhough I have gone in her room to get towels, turned on the lights and walked around. That is good to know for those middle of the night feedings that I have up ahead of me that she will not need to get out of her kennel every time.

Sorry if this is not very well written but it is now 4:43 am and I am tired. I just figured I should blog instead of calling people to vent.
