Travis~ "Um,mom....the puppies knocked over a gallon of water and have been running through it." Me~ "Uh, Trav, that wasn't water, that was oil!"
The puppies have play time; outside, inside and in the garage. So this morning I let them play in the garage. They have toys, a litter box and things to climb under and run around. There's a wood stove so it's cozy and warm and the radio is playing for some background noise. And it's right off our laundry room and kitchen so I can check on them frequently. Apparently, not frequently enough this morning though...
Well, it's also where I keep the dog food, horse food and my tack. I have an old mare. She'll be 28 years old in April and she needs extra pampering to keep her in good weight. So twice a day I soak alfalfa cubes in hot water, add oil (for the extra fat) and her grain and feed it to her.
I guess the puppies thought the bit of oil running down the side of the gallon jug tasted good, so they licked and work on it until they got the lid off. That happened yesterday. Yes; I've learned my lesson..don't leave a jug of oil with no lid on it the reach of three lively, curious puppies!
So Travis went out the door and thought they had found a jug of water and spilled it. Oh,.. I wish!
So now I have an oil slick to clean up. Right now, I have litter/shavings sprinkled on top trying to soak up the majority of it.
And three really greasy puppies to bathe!
"Isn't my hair nice and shiny, mom?!"
