LOL Dh too! Well Pnut is a royal brat. He goes up and down. Some nights he sleeps with me all night, others he is in his crate, then some nights he is back and forth LOL

When I woke up this morning the little stinker was snuggled under my chin!! Hehee I love waking up to him!

So the thing for me- if I pick carpet for the bedroom. I would have to make sure he didn't get up at night to pee!!

So true! Lucky for us the fleas at our house are not bad at all. Peanut has neve had a flea, we treat our grass as well so I don't think any live in there

Do you have grass? We use a really good pet friendly product- it kills everything living in the grass LOL!! We use it on the hot months.

You can use a tile sealer on your bathroom tile/grout and it seals the grout so nothing soaks in. I seal my kitchen and baths every 6 months or so. It also keeps the grout looking like new because dirt doesn't get in either.

I have an area rug in my living room...I sprayed it with that NO stuff...so far so good...today I am taking up the vinyl flooring I installed in their room...I hate it I'm going to put an area rug that I found at home depot...it has a solid plastic/rubber backing...I am going to spray it with NO....but if they pee on it I have a $100 shampooer always on standby...

I don't think there is an easy answer here, Peanut is Peanut...just find the quickest, less damaging way to handle it...hopefully in time it won't be an issue.

Oh and I'm going to buy one of those rubber backed rugs to put over my area rug for "most days" just in case....

Hmm what is this No stuff? Does it really work? The thing is with these little ones their pee is so small LOL It is so hard to see. Sometimes Peanut will pee like a dime size- how am I going to catch that on carpet!!?? LOL I'm not till it builds up and builds up then I will have a carpet full of pee! YUCK

That tile is retro 60s like the house lol. I probably would've went a different direction, but I rent. hehe

Can you not see the flooring in this pic?

Great Idea! I'm sure DH already knows this he just doesn't tell me, He says I ask too many questions as it is!! LOL

I agree with the rugs, since Pnut uses his pad- he will use any rug in the house. I have bath mats- I hate walking on cold tile after I shower.. we have to keep the bathroom door shut, or Peanut will use that as his potty pad.

We lived next door to a Yorkie Breeder, well it was her son that lived there. She would come down from AZ and stay with him sometimes. She would bring her puppies.. I was talking to her one day and she told me the problem with pee pads is they won’t know the difference- which at the time I thought was silly. I thought no way they wouldn't know. One pad smells like pee and one doesn't… well turns out she was right LOL

This is the color:
I like the engineered wood darker brown almost black color, it's beautiful but expensive, maybe we'll get the laminate version next time.

Since we don't use bath mats, I use a towel & hang it up after. During the colder months, I have fuzzy slippers on or leave one in the bathroom...but it always disappears when I do that bc Turbo takes it & stashes it somewhere loll!

Yes I have grass, but don't treat it. What is the product you use? I seem to have little ants and would like to get rid of them.

Aww, thanks! Yes, this was yesterday. She had just had a bath

My landlord put that flooring down right before we moved in. It was carpet when I first looked at the house. I was disappointed at first. But then I absolutely fell in love with it.

That is a nice wood tone. My floors are engineered teak, a beautiful redish brown color, but have to admit that the darker wood shows dust more. And friends that got really light maple color say that it darkens over time, except where furniture or rugs are, so that can be a problem.

Many choices out there.

Ohhh that is gorgeous. I love the darker colors as well. My brother has some beautiful floors. It is really dark..he paid some good money for it too! I attached two pics, my sweet little niece is in them! LOL

The first pic is recent, she started dance class!
The second was last Christmas!

I want to tear all of the carpeting out of our house because I would rather have something that can be cleaned regularly. However, the senior citizen doesn't want hardwood stairs, and the dogs do prefer running on carpeted areas.

Its called Eco Smart.. it really smells awful. For a day or so- its really strong. It works wonders- We get pincher bugs, ants, spiders, lots of creepy crawlers. Oh and we get wasps and bees in our grass, when we have this stuff in our grass I don't see anything come out of it!

Her coat is looking really good- did you find something that works on her?
