Laundry, laundry and more laundry

I know that you're not supposed to have favorites, but my favorite 4-legged critter right now is Harrison. Why? Because he is the only 4-legged critter in this home that doesn't puke on a regular basis.


Over the past week and a half, I have stripped and washed our bed and Quail's bed twice. Why? Because Harley puked on the bed last Wednesday and Olivia puked on it on Sunday. Olivia also threw up on our bedspread this morning which thankfully was not on the bed. Quail puked on her bed last Wednesday and this morning! At least Quail has the decency to puke on her bed when I am already washing blankets and sheets because someone has puked on our bed. Or maybe she is a sympathetic puker?

When our bed is made, there is a very lovely plastic shower curtain over the top to protect the bed during the day which means that whenever one of our spoiled and pampered pets pukes on our bed, it's when we are sleeping -- how rude! Okay, Olivia is old (14 years old) but Harley should know better.

And stupid me...when I found the perfect bedspread/sheet set for our bed, I didn't notice that the bedspread was dry clean only. I'm wondering if this is a conspiracy between bedding manufacturers and the dry cleaning association because I cannot understand why a bedspread should ever be dry clean only! I refuse to dry clean a bedspread so I have been putting it in the wash on gentle -- takes forever to dry but one day it will be destroyed and I'll feel justified in buying a new one.

UGH!
