Goodbye to a dear friend...


Our family suffered a tremendous loss today. Our beloved dog, Jake, passed this morning of unknown causes. He was a wonderful, loving, loyal dog that was a perfect fit for our family. Born on 9/9/99, Jake was just happy to be around family and hang out. He will be missed more than words can say.

You can put lipstick on a pig...

...but not on my carpet, please! OK, so you need to remember this one. Brecken and Seneca tracked red lipstick across the carpet and up the stairs. Both with white carpet. Yeah. Great. So off to the internet we went. Most sites said Goo Gone, but we didn't have that. Next we read about WD-40. I must have 3-4 containers of that. Tried that with paper towel. Worked pretty good. Then we read about diaper wipes. Works minimally. Then we stumbled upon the holy grail of lipstick removal...WD-40 AND a diaper wipe. Yes, you heard it here first. OK, so here's how you do it. (1) The sooner you get to it, the better (2) spray WD-40 on stain (3) IMPORTANT! Blot the stain multiple times with clean areas of the wipe. And I don't mean dab and rub. I mean push down, repeatedly, with clean areas until its almost gone. Then you can wipe in a small circle until gone. Works great. I promise.
