Yet Another Drop of Tear Saved

The typical mongrel that I am,
Everywhere you see, I am there, because we all look alike
But you see, that's what I am,
The typical mongrel that you see on the streets,
The ones that are unwanted.

I am born on the streets,
Grew up not knowing who's my mom two months later, because you see,
She's just gone like that. I don't know if I've got siblings or not.
Left to fend for myself, I contracted illness.
Because you see, that's the typical mongrel that I am.
Hungry day and night, Cold and hot and yet, nobody cares.

Small humans threw sticks and stones at me,
Big humans swing their hands at me,
Some big humans even threw water at me and yelled at me.
Oh, did I mention, there's even some that threw me to the street,
When all I ever wanted was some scraps of their foods.
Or maybe love and attention perhaps?

As one of the lucky ones, I've been saved from the streets,
By a group of kindhearted people.
But you see, I'm still homeless in a way. I'm still sick and I fear humans.
They put me in a cage, fed me what they can afford to, hosing my waste off with me still in the cage.
I'm still shivering in fear, cold and hunger, not to mention pain as well.

One day they just brought me out of my cage,
To where I do not know. Perhaps to a walk? Play hopefully?
After some distance driving, they brought me to a place, put me in a cage again.
Why so many people? Where is this place? Are you going to bully me or beat me again?
But wait, you mean no harm to me, I can tell that much.
You going to bring me home? Pretty please?
I'm the typical mongrel, not your famous breeds of dogs or cute small sized dogs,
But I will love you as much as you love me, that much I can promise you.

Like any other dogs, I can be trained, love and get along.
Treat me well and I'm all about you.
Despite being the typical mongrel that I am.

Get The Pee Stain Off My Bed !!

Ever since getting a puppy of my own, life was kinda busy and pretty much a different learning curve. Many thinks that getting an animal is of no big deal, just like pet fish. NO ! That is NOT TRUE. Even getting a fish means lots of commitments! If that's in your mind all the while and you want to get a pet, throw the damn idea off that wee brain of yours then. 

Getting either pet, whichever that tickles your fancy, means devoting your time, love, money and everything to them, like you do to your dear family members, because, the moment you get a pet, you add in an extra family member. In my case, feedings and clean ups are mainly my chore. Playtime? Leave it to the man to do it. 

So, back to the topic, the lil' dog, being the sweetpie that she is, sleeps with us on the bed at night of course.

This is my lil' baby ! Coco ! But like a human kid that has gotten used to wear diapers, they do not know when to NOT PEE on the bed. Yes, my little baby pees on the bed on and off. Imagine the horror in my face when I saw it each time. Having to wash the sheets is one small matter. The biggest problem, the mattress. The stains and the odor ! They are the main killer. So what do I do? 

The God that I pray to. The answers that this God gave me is, nonetheless, awesome. Why? I got the one best solution to get the stains and odor out of my mattress. Since it worked on kids pee stains, I figured it should work on pets too and voila! It does! Details below is all credit to: Inspired Housewife Blog 

So here's what you need to get started:

You need a measuring cup, tablespoon, funnel, and spray bottle.

8 ounces/237 ml hydrogen peroxide 3% (this can be found in a brown bottle in the first aid aisle of most pharmacies or stores. It's sort of an antiseptic for washing wounds. Best place to find it in Malaysia is the pharmacies.)

3 tablespoons/45 grams of baking soda

1 drop of liquid hand dish washing soap

Mix all ingredients into the spray bottle, do not shake the bottle, and use within 20 minutes.  Do not attempt to store the leftover solution. because it will leak out of the bottle.  The mixture only works if you use it immediately, because the cleaning byproducts are active for only a short time period.  You should see the stain lift and disappear within 5-10 minutes.  Once the mattress dries, if a baking soda film remains, then simply wipe or vacuum it off.

Here's my before and after result. I'm seriously glad it worked for me. It's a cotton bed by the way. 

After the whole thing fully dried off, even the watermark is gone. This solution really works wonder. So, moms at home and pet owners, have no fear on putting your kids/pets on bed with you!! Takes time to train them to pee on proper designated place, even for kids.
