    Looks rather innocent to me. Maybe a check of the rest of the fabric at risk is in order.

I started noticing an odor, could not figure out where it was coming from. Turns out, the little runt (weighs 6 lbs) had lifted his leg on the end of the bolt-- the fabric is mottled, so it was not noticed even with some scrutiny. I really did not want to wash the whole bolt, so now I'm cutting, and hand washing those strips that were affected as I go.

    I can tell you now, that there is nothing quite like the smell of warm ironed dog pee......and he's my daughter's dog!
    OH Sorry. Things happen when you have pets. Be glad it was not cat pee spray that smells even worst. I too think I would have washed it first. I would not want any of that stuff on my ironing board. Good luck. Cute dog though.

    You might need to use an enzyme neutralizer on the fabric before washing to make sure you get rid of the odor. I've had to do that with cat pee, which is stronger than dog pee. Spray the fabric with enzyme neutralizer, then bag in plastic for 8 hours or so before washing in the machine with detergent.
    At one time my cat peed on my daughters coat and when I washed it I put Apple Cider vinegar in the wash load. I think it's a 1/4 cup you use. Anyhow the smell came out of her coat.

    I agree and that pic says he didn't do it, that it must have been "some other dog" :)

    Don't hand wash them, put them in a washing bag and wash on delicate. Much faster and won't fray.

    You must admit, he is precious.

    My heart goes out to all those who have pets marking your property. I believe pets should be trained. If it can't be trained it is gone. I am an animal lover. I am still grieving for my husky who died last October.
