:bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug: Thank You for the kind words and gentle reminder.

Growing up Mom and Dad didn't allow pity parties to last long. We were taught have your moment of sadness and despair, then pick yourself up and keep going. Life doesn't stand still it moves forward and there's people counting on you.

It's been Cleo's pattern to give action on cycle 2 or 3 after an increase. Plus she needs a good poop! Hasn't had a good one for her in a couple of days. I added some Miralax to her bfast and will do it again at PMPS. We'll see if that helps along with extra soupy meals and snacks.

I get it, I was raised the same way, but as I got oldER, I learned we have to be gentle with ourselves sometimes!! :bighug:

Poops are a big deal! I hope she gives you a big one today.. Not to be disgusting!!:smuggrin:

My Luigi had major poop problems, and his BG would drop significantly after he'd go, so yeah, it affects them in a stressful way sometimes.

There was poop all over my kitchen floor today, stepped right in it in my morning haze (RIP, well-worn/loved slippers). Chispa hasn't missed the box yet, so I suspect it was a cling-on. A LARGE cling-on. May you avoid that fate!!

My heartfelt condolences for your fuzzy slippers ( in my mind they're white bunny slippers but you had them specially made with Chispa and Chulo's (GA) faces :cat:)
When she goes, and hopefully soon, I'm more than willing to send out 'poop pics'. :p

Lol! They were sheepskin slippers from LL Bean, totally replaceable (and honestly, it was about time anyway). I like your vision better!! :cat::cat:

I hope Cleo comes through with that "special gift" for you soon. We will take your word for it, no pics necessary (but thanks) ... :p:p

Those sheepskin slippers from LL Bean are nice (actually I am wearing some right now... blue on the outside, shearling on the inside (I won't send photos either... LOL!) but I noticed they've gotten a lot more expensive since I bought these. I actually washed mine not long ago and it revived a lot of the shearling and made the suede cleaner. I did not dry them, of course, I put them in my dryer on "air fluff" (no heat) on this rack thing that came with the dryer... the slippers sat on the rack and the drum of the dryer moved around it... so the slippers aren't tumbled. The slippers seems only a tiny bit snug afterwards, but it wasn't long before they felt all "broken in" like before.

Really now! I might just give that a go. I tried to remove the offending material in a five-step process, the last step being a good dousing with an enzymatic spray, but I still smell funkiness. I don't have one of those rack things, but I'll bet they'd survive an air dry cycle with some old towels to keep them company.

In other news, only two weeks ago I purchased a Hoover Clean Slate Plus spot cleaner for upholstery and carpets. What great timing! I cleaned all of the rugs to be safe, and now the whole place smells nice and fresh ... aside from the one slipper airing out in the bathtub.

How do you like the Hoover Clean Slate? How loud is it? How is the suction on carpets? I’m always cleaning up vomit out of the carpeted areas and this Hoover looks more powerful than my Bissel. I have both a corded on and a cordless one. Love the cordless, but it doesn’t suck moisture out of the carpet very well. Also, how heavy is it?

@Suzanne & Darcy I just searched "LL Bean slippers" to remind myself of how you cleaned yours -- and now I see that you asked me about my new Hoover Clean Slate and I never replied. So sorry!!

I've only used it twice, and not on anything really gross, but so far I like it very much. I live in a small place, so it gets major points for being compact and easy to store in a closet. It's not heavy, even filled with water, and though I wouldn't call it quiet, it's also not overly loud -- at least compared to my Eureka Mighty Might vacuum cleaner, which has an intolerable whine.

I smelled something funky one morning but couldn't spot it, so I decided to go over all of the area rugs to freshen them up. It was quick and easy to do. I will say that this machine really is intended as a spot cleaner -- if you needed to routinely clean a large area, you'd probably want something with more coverage.

I have a flokati rug in my dining room and it did a surprisingly good job of cleaning it, though getting the "fluff" out of the machine afterwards took some time. Luckily it comes with a little attachment that you put at the end of the hose to recirculate a fresh tank of water to flush any remaining debris out of the hose.

I hope this is at least somewhat helpful! :):cat:
