Finally A Parvo Free House!!

So- since poor Sasha was diagnosed with Parvo we asked the vet what we needed to do to insure that, even though our dogs are all vaccinated, none of them would get Parvo since it is highly contagious.

We bleached all the walls in the house from the floor to shoulder height- no joke.  My and my roomies fingerprints are burned off and the tips of all our fingers are split from dealing with bleach directly.  None of us thought to use gloves until all our fingers were done for.  Then we washed everything that could have directly or indirectly come in contact with the puppy.  After that we started to wash all bedding, clothes and toys that could have become contaminated.  Let me tell you that is a lot of laundry with 4 people and 4 dogs.  While laundry was being done one load at a time we vacuumed and shampooed the carpets.  All this was done between noon on Friday and 5 on Saturday.  At about 3pm on Saturday however my dryer exploded.  Lots of smoke, electrical burnt smell, burned rubber smell....it was awesome.  I just about broke down... What a crazy, stressful week.  

So we bagged up all the laundry and stuck it in the back of Nikki's truck.  This morning at around 11 we headed to the laundry mat.  We descended upon that laundry mat like a hoard of locusts.  It took 24 machines to wash all the laundry and 22 dryers to dry everything.  Luckily, there were very few people in the laundry mat at the time so we used all the machines at the same time and finished washing and drying all that laundry by 1:30.  It was CRAZY!!! 

So- now our house is Parvo free and all our laundry is completed- but I don't have a dryer anymore.  Good thing I start my job on Tuesday!!
