I have 3 small dogs, a yorkie, a mix, and a Maltese...the Yorkie is spayed , the other two are not. I know I am a bad dog owner, but I got them later and they are always inside dogs so i just have not had them fixed. Now they are older and one has a collapsed trachea and Im not sure surgery would be safe. Im not sure if that is relevant to my question but I thought if might be helpful.
I bought a brand new set of furniture which is only 2 years old and is already ruined by my dogs. (I think) I deliberately bought the furniture in a darker color and a more rustic style than I like because I figured it would wear better with 3 dogs and one teenager. The furniture is dark blue and I think it is a cotton fabric which I thought was good because it was washable. It also had stain reisistance put on it. Shortly after I got it, I noticed that there were little white dots on certain parts of the furniture. Whatever these spots were, they would not come off with anything...they didnt even fade...it was like they were part of the fabric. I did call the company and they replaced the covers, though they had no idea what it was either. My dogs always lay on the area where the most spots were, but there were spots in other places also where the dogs dont routinely go. Someone suggested then that it might be from the dogs, but they werent sure. Now two years later, the furniture is covered with these spots. the spots have no odor and as I said they are white on the dark blue furniture. So...do dogs leak urine and does it sound like that is what it is, or are there other things you can think of.
I love my dogs but I hate what they have done to my house. If I ever get new furniture, they will not be allowed on it. I know they cant help it, but its still disgusting.
