I pulled everything out of the dining room, Murphy’s Oil soaped the floor, and took the rug out to the deck to scrub.  I rinsed it with the power washer, then hung it on the cable run to dry.  By late afternoon, it was starting to rain a little, so I brought it in.

By early evening, the rain had turned into a thunderstorm.  Storms make Sparky anxious, so I gave him the last chunk of pig ear to distract him.  While I was making dinner, my cute, but thankless pup brought the greasy pig ear into the dining room to eat on the clean rug.

Everything is back to normal.
