This isn’t Amber, but it’s very close to how she looked this morning after her morning run and taking care of business. She found some incredible awful-smelling ‘stuff’ and had it all over the right side of her chest and face.
I let her eat her breakfast and then had her sit beside the kitchen sink while I cleaned her over and over and over with a soapy cloth and then rinsed her. (She weighs 94 pounds, and it’s too cold outside for an outside full bath.) I then took her collar – which was also coated – off and scrubbed it. Then I soaped her again and rinsed her off.
I think I may have gotten her cleaned up enough now. Her collar is drying on top of a heat register in the living room. I took Amber in there and asked my husband if he could smell her now. I honestly couldn’t tell if I had done some good or if my nose had given up and died!
We both pronounced her ‘good enough,’ and I sprayed some fresh-smelling stuff around to capture any lingering odors.
I will take a shower and change my clothes in case “I” am now smelling like her!
