One of the dogs peed on a chair in the living room and on the surrounding floor.

Problem is, I don't know exactly which one did it or how it happened. I heard a lot of frantic barking about 10-15 mins after Zach and Mindy left, so I went downstairs. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I'm not sure if the chair-peeing happened while I was there or before... but I basically threw the dogs outside and haven't let them back in, and I'm not sure I will before I leave for dinner.

I tried to clean up the mess a little bit, but quite frankly, I don't know the right way to dispose of dog pee, besides trying to mop it up a little with a mop and paper towels. I know Zach has magic stuff to get rid of the smell, but I don't know where it is or if it'll be too late by the time we all get home.

It's Zach's chair (the black one in the corner that Watson's always sleeping on anyway), but still, ewwww. I guess I'm a little freaked out and felt like telling the LJ world about it. Plus, this way I won't forget to tell Zach later so he can do the appropriate cleanings.

Yeah, there is enzymatic stuff to get the smell out. He should be able to use it later, and, i don't think there is much else you can do now.

I would find it really annoying and disgusting to have a dog that peed in the house a lot. I'm really thankful that Samspon seems to do pretty well in that area. We're lucky that way.

I'd check for a bottle of "Zero Odor" hanging about; it is still effective even if not used immediately, but may take more doses with time.

Yeah, the cleaner will work later. But when dogs aren't fully housebroken, it really shouldn't be put away where people don't know where it is.....

are the dogs crate-trained or anything? Even though B. is housebroken, we don't leave her unsupervised for long periods of time (see one of her adventures here), and there's always a place to put her that isn't outside when she misbehaves (no crate, but a small area that is easily penned off with a baby gate).

Um.. ew.

When my dog was old (and on his final decline), he had a lot of issues with peeing indoors, because his bladder would suddenly and unexpectedly be full. So, I know how icky it is to clean up after.

Hope this doesn't signal a health problem for one of the dogs. (I need a dog icon.)
