Meet the newest addition to our Camp Wander family...Bart.
Bart is our bouncing 12 week old bundle of love! Weighing in at 30 lbs, soon to be 200 (ish), our Newfoundland pup has us wrapped around his big black paw.
Bart came from a very loving family, as you can see :))
As most of you know, puppies come with their challenges...puddles and piles in the least desirable places! Funny thing is, my sister Jillee blogged about Getting Rid of Pet Stains just days before we knew that we had a puppy in our future.
Don't you just love how life works?
Let's start with Jillee's great information for INDOOR pooch puddles and pet stains...
Jillee's arsenal includes baking soda and white vinegar....hard to beat that naturally deodorizing combo! To read and view Jillee's tutorial {Click Here}
Pssst! Feel free to add 2 to 3 drops of Purify Blend "indoors" too!
Bart is an OUTDOOR puppy and currently wreaking (get it, wreaking) havoc in our garage. We're working with him of course but those puddles become a problem with male dogs. If the scent remains, chances are someone will come along and cover it up with their own. Catch my drift?
I'm trying very hard to be delicate here :))
I know you've been wondering...
ENTER: Essential Oils!
But first, a photo of Roxy...
Best dog known to mankind, keeper of our hearts and Bart's (most patient) adopted Grandmama.
She "owns" her gray don't you think?
She's very dignified.
Newfie Superstar
The OUTDOOR Pooch Pourri Line Up!
{refresh, renew and repel!}
This combination is working fabulously for us!
Because our Newfs are outdoor dogs, I'm more worried about the concrete and wood posts retaining odors (which they do!).
To remove odors from concrete and anywhere else, combine white vinegar with Purify Blend, a blend of essential oils designed to eliminate odors with Lemon, Lime, Pine, Citronella, Melaleuca and Cilantro.
CW "Outdoor" Pooch Pourri:
1 quart bottle of white vinegar
add 10 drops Purify Blend
{drip directly into bottle of white vinegar}
There's an added bonus to Pooch Pourri! I pour small puddles wherever I don't want Bart to "you know". The "aromatherapy" of it keeps Bart away, he's not a connoisseur of essential oils like me :))
Okay, being delicate is exhausting...
The End!
