Obviously that’s important to me because I’m always changing things up for the seasons and to share here on the blog and I don’t want to be repainting every  month!.

It’s especially good if you have smelly pets hanging around (like I do) and if your carpet picks up that smell and then seems to hold on to it for all eternity (like mine does)..So here’s my living room, home of the dog smell that never seems to go away.. Well, you can see why.

At almost any time of the day, you can find Chuck hanging on in his spot on the couch….…or under the table on the carpet..The carpet, being all fluffy like it is, seems to absorb the smells so much more than the couch.

Plus the couch covers get a regular cleaning in the washing machine, and that just can’t happen with the rug.Of course, the dog can get a good cleaning and he does, but those baths never seem to stick for more than five minutes, he’s a dog after all.

That’s just how he smells.

It seems that Chuck is a little bit of a manly man too, because the idea of doggy cologne just scares him.. I’ve tried a few different things here and there to try and freshen things up, and nothing really seems to do the job quite right.You can let them sit all day though if you want to do them early in the morning..

When it’s time for dinner, fire up the grill and grill your zucchini slices over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side.You can also do these inside on a grill pan if that’s more convenient, but it definitely helps to have a really powerful range hood if you choose to make these indoors!

(I just treated myself to.and it’s fantastic!)
