i don't want to talk about it.
happy Wednesday to all.
But especially to Jim Hargate...
ps - if anyone knows how to clean a sisal rug, let me know...
I think we may have lost this one though... (insert dry heave here).
UPDATE:

Actual Solution to Doggie Diarrhea on Sisal Rug:
1. Dig a whole in your yard
2. Fill the hole with dry timber then douse with gasoline
3. Strike a match and drop it in the hole
4. Heave soiled sisal rug on to the hole and kiss that shit rag goodbye.

Don't throw it away. I've had dog diarrhea ALL over my sisal before – in multiple locations… and barf. So trust me, you can save it. There will always be a very slight discoloration, but it's worth keeping it.
They way I did it was to get up as much of the "stuff" as I could without rubbing it down into the carpet. Sometimes I literally get a sharp knife and scrape it up – disgusting, right? Oh, the joys of dog ownership. Then I just start pouring tepid water all over the area – and you have to do this about a bazillion times. Pour water, then soak it up with paper towels. Pour water, then soak it up… and keep going. Let the water sit a little between each time. Then I mix a little shampoo or other non-colored, mild soap with water, get a toothbrush and go to town. Pour the soapy water over the spot, scrub with the toothbrush, pour some clean water, then soak it up. Do this about three or four times. After you've finished, do the clean water "pour and soak" trick several more times to get as much soap out of the rug as possible (always work on an area slightly larger than the actual stain). You'll probably end up with a slight water ring after all is said and done, but you should be able to salvage the rug.

Morning!
Hope you're doing well… how are the pups?
Quick question –
Any suggestions for doggie diarrhea on a sisal rug?
Yes, it's more gross than you just imagined.
Sorry! Just thought I'd check with you before I throw it away…
It's REALLY bad…

oh dear. I know you don't want to TALK about it, but will you post a picture for posterity? The picture should be of the shit rag going up in flames, not so much of the diarrhea.
hey--try nature's miracle spray. it works on everything. good luck!
Take a look over at Coastal Style under their FAQ section. They have a cleaning guide broken down by type of spill for sisal rugs
