Smells like teen spirit
Aug. 4th, 2005 09:58 pmWell, today I discovered that I have no olfactory function whatsoever.
Last night, Bosworth was very eager to get under my bed - he was trying very hard to squeeze himself in, and whining in frustration at the fact that he's just too damn big. Oho, think I, better see if there's actually anything under there. I did find an old sock there, but the disturbing part was that it was STUCK TO THE CARPET. So today, I decided to confirm my suspicions, and sure enough, when I moved the bed, under it, right in the centre of the under-bed space, was what looked like a fermenting cat turd.
How long had THAT been there?!
Bloody moggy.
After the liberal application of paper towel (wielded with rubber-glove-protected hand) and antibacterial carpet cleaner, this is no longer a problem. But I am still rather concerned at the fact that it took Bosworth's desperate attempts to get to it to alert me to the fact that it was there. More extraordinary still, if it was really as old as it looked, is the fact that Bosworth never seemed to notice it before. He's a DOG, for christ's sake.
Best case scenario is that it happened in the last day or so. Otherwise, I don't want to think about it.
On a happier note, I think I may have hooked my Horatio - but I shan't say more, lest I jinx it...
