One Man Wrecking Crew

On Friday night I gave the pugs a bath.  Everything was business as usual.  The pugs each took turns and they ran around the house after they were all cleaned up.  As I was finishing up in the bathroom, the pugs came barreling in and were wrestling around. That is when I noticed one of them was bleeding all over the tile.  We quickly determined that it was Benjamin.  In all his running around, he must have cracked his toenail because that was were all the blood was coming from.  However, it must not have hurt because it didn’t slow him down one bit.  We got the bleeding stopped in no time and then I braced myself to see the damage.  I was quite surprised at how much ground Benny had covered since his bath.  He had blood from one end of the house to the other.  Luckily, most of it was on the tile which made for easy cleanup.  However, he did manage to get quite a bit of blood on our comforter.  You know the one.

So I figured that now would be a good time to give the blood setting on the washing machine a try again.  It has gotten blood out of clothes in the past so I was keeping my fingers crossed hoping it would work its magic again.

The blood setting takes forever, so I threw the comforter in the wash and went on to other things.  When the washer was finally done we pulled it out and looked it over to see if the blood stains came out.  The good news is the blood came out!  The bad news is that in some spots it turned the red circles into orange circles!  It must have mistaken them for blood

So now our comforter is a nice gradient.  I couldn’t keep from laughing.  If someone remarks that the circles are orange, I am just going to correct them and tell them they aren’t orange, their Benjamin’s version of red.
