| Who could say no to that face? (19 mos. ago) |
My parents have a dog.
Thrilling, right?
He is one of the most adorable creatures ever. He will cock his head ever so slightly when you are talking to him. And if you use the words "ball" or "bed", he knows exactly what to do. Justin has even worked with him on commands like "sit", "stay", "lay down", "shake", and "roll over". He's not too good at the last one… Sometimes Justin even changes it up and works with him using the German language. We always assume that if he's not obeying commands it's because he's a German shepherd … not an English-speaking one. Clearly we are the ones speaking the wrong language!
Technically, the dog is actually my brother's. When he bought the dog about two years ago, my parents adamantly exclaimed "NO! We are not taking care of him for you!" But of course after a few months when my brother got busy with college exams and volunteering, my parents were all too happy to take on the dog for a few weeks. Those few weeks turned into a year … going on one and a half. Now every time Justin and I go on vacation we contemplate bringing home a new pet for the sole purpose of sharing with my parents. It's only fair, right? We could always offer up a hermit crab, a gerbil, or some fish…
Anyway, along with the dog, came smells. This is a 90 pound inside-dog. The wood floor is permanently damaged by sharp claws and there will always be fur everywhere, but what could they do to eliminate the dog odor? They've tried nearly everything. First they got some pet sprays from Wal Mart. Then they moved on up to Yankee Candle, Febreeze, and even borrowed some of my Anthropologie candles. Nothing worked.
Insert Renuzit Scented Pearls… which showed up on my doorstep a few weeks ago.
In an effort to make nice and be helpful, I offered it to my mom to try. She loves candles and fragrances far more than I do, and I know, without a doubt, that she desperately wishes she could have the clean house smell she had prior to her fun-loving, cutie pie, 90lb. lap dog. The After the Rain scented pearls were just what she needed. They were nice and contained so that they wouldn't spill and make a mess in the living room … and the smell they added to her home in a very short period of time was nearly overwhelming yet wonderful. It was definitely refreshing to smell something not dog. Plus, the pearls are so pretty, you don't have to hide them in your decor! When the pearls run out, you simply buy some more! Renuzit Scented Pearls come in a variety of scents like blue sky breeze, seductive pineapple, tranquility, and serenity. After seeing how well this is working for my mom, I can't wait to try some of the other smells!
