Thank God for Bissell

Our bulldog Bella had quite the week. Earlier in the week she tore in to a shopping bag filled with candy for our boys Easter baskets which Sandy bought at Cracker Barrel. You know some of the classic stuff like Big League Chew and Razzles and other assorted goodies. Well she ate all the Razzles and sampled other stuff so we rushed her to the vet (just to bed sure) and 50.00 dollars later they told us she would be fine. Saturday night/Sunday morning, she got into a backpack Sandy had in Stillwater over the weekend for a trip she took with her high school students. We came home Sunday morning and found this huge brown stain on our carpet in the entryway to our house. Horror was the first thought. You can imagine what was going on in my mind as to what it was.
Turns out it was hot chocolate packs stored in the backpack that she and our beagle Sidney had their way with. Upon entry into the house and hearing the first sound of disappointment, Sidney makes a beeline under the bed and Bella just tries to be cute and playful, but her face gave her away with it bellowing out the fumes of powdered chocolate, and her paws covered in it with brown footprints all over the ceramic tile next to the carpet.
Hey at least it didn't stink and wasn't what I initially feared it could be. Dogs are doing fine and the Bissells working good too. I cleaned more carpet that I needed to but once you get it out you might as well use it for more than just stains.
