For Sale!!!

We have been thinking of putting our house up for sale for a while, but just hadn't really gotten around to it. Well...all that has changed. Our house is officially FOR SALE!

It has only been on the market for about a week. We've only had one showing. Still, I am pretty excited.

Finally, we are making progress. We are finally able to take steps towards our goal of upgrading homes.

Now, we just have to find a buyer.

That's the not so fun part.

The one showing that we have had so far gave a little feedback. First, they said the layout was not what they were looking for. Then, they said that there was a "strong odor of dog."

Okay...so here's the deal. We used to have two dogs. Both were inside pets, and both were very clean. However, our cocker spaniel, Spencer, was old. He did, in his last few weeks, develop an odor that was pretty offensive. Sadly, Spencer is no longer with us. We have deep cleaned the house, vacuumed daily, cleaned the carpets (RugDoctor), used air fresheners, etc. WE don't smell him anymore, but apparently other people do.

Now, we just have to figure out where others are smelling dog, and how to get rid of it.

Any ideas out there??? I think our little house will make a wonderful home for someone...we just have to get the house smelling wonderful.

I had a groomer friend recommend a product called Miracle Air, I guess it can even remove skunk smell. It can be bought from cherrybrook.com.
