Dog & Cat Snot Removal

 

I’m tired this morning
Very……
But it’s a nice feeling to know I’m not back until well after Christmas.
Today is the only day I’m nothing planned except sleep and clean cottage.
It will be no small challenge as the two Nazi kittens will be making Roger’s life a challenge as tail will be boxed and nose will be twatted as he follows them to every room in the cottage , ears pricked and natural nanny feelings invoked.
I am meeting Nigel in Liverpool tomorrow and the supper party is on Sunday, so operation animal snot removal is today

But only after a deep, wonderfully warm and long sleep

    The most underrated and unspoken of benefit of Christmas is being able to take some time out of time, relax and reboot, and just breathe. Enjoy the novelty. And the delight in having those necessary little jobs undertaken and done. By this evening your halo will be shining bright! Happy Christmas, my ray of sunshine.

  4. Our cats don’t wipe their noses on things but they do leave skid marks! So glad you have lots of time to regroup and enjoy your friends and family.

    When I cleaned the kitchen yesterday I noticed dog snerts on the kitchen door, so today I will clean the inside ones. It is too cold outside to do that side, so I hope they are all inside ones. Enjoy your sleep in and get ready for some fun tomorrow. I am off to Costco for a walk around as it opens at 8.00 am. Gigi

  9. I must say my cat HRH was always very fastidious. I never had to clean cat snot off anything.

    Starting you time off with a long, warm sleep then cleaning the cottage and that snot removal will set the stage (now clean!) for a delightful week of self care: the joy of family and friends, and a wonderful variety of enjoyable events plus, as always, good food! The underlying watchword is 'hydrate'.
    Enjoy yourself!!

    Hugs!

  14. Our cat is intrigued by the 'sweat' that rolls down the window in the back door when I am baking in the kitchen. He likes to lick it.

    Enjoy your vacation. Sounds like it is off to a wonderful start.

  15. The cottage will be ready for the holiday. The kittens vs. Roger - so funny. Lots of personality at play.
    Enjoy your time off.

    1. Oh no having guests around on Sunday for a meal, the place needs to be as spotless as I can make it

    2. I do that too then I am too tired to enjoy the guests. A friend used to tell me, "They come to see YOU, not inspect your house." Wonder why your critters leave snot marks, dogs usually have dry noses? Cats too. Baby Mo, however, jumped up on my white sofas w muddy paws, after cleaner was here, bec I too am having guests. Now if he'd just stop explosive pug fur shedding...Merry Christmas John. [be sure to tell us menu for your party etc. Not fish pie I hope? I am doing a giant charcuterie platter and handmade pizza, wine, semi-fail Christmas cookies.]

  18. I do not envy you that task old lad, for me I've still to collect Bramble's fluffy tumbleweed from around the house, it just bloody well seems to multiply on its own....think it's perhaps time I gave the stinky old bugger a shearing before the daughter and her husband arrives for the festive season...

  19. I hope your sleep was deep and restful John - you need days of it! The house cleaning will be to your usual immaculate standard ... and last 5 minutes with your critters around! But you wouldn't be without them. Our Christmas will be with extended family an hour's drive up the coast to a seaside town where the in-laws live. We all contribute towards the food, and keep the presents to the children. It's the company that counts. Happy Christmas to you.

  23. Snot removal? The positive reframe in this household is "nose art", especially when it's on glass doors.

  25. Am intrigued by the changes in Roger's relationship with the kittens. He is so sweet and I hope they will all end up being really close.

    A well earned break from work and time to fully enjoy Christmas!

    We've had lots of cats over the years but never any snot.
    Bulldog type dogs yes but not cats.

  27. I bet there's nowhere near as much snot to be removed these days. I know that I can now go a week without hoovering since poor Suky is no longer with us. How she shed so much and never went bald amazed me.
