You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.


Having two dogs, one of which is a rather large pile of muscle that is terrified of being bathed, I can only imagine it would end up with a peanut-buttter covered dog that is exactly 0% distracted from the fact he's being washed. Dogs scared about showers/baths flail around like mad and really don't give a poo poo about treats during their moment of GET ME THE gently caress OUTTA HERE horror.

I do the hook one for bathroom garbage cans. The can is also out of sight so it isn’t an eyesore with the hooks. Walla! Bathroom hacked.

I do reuse shopping bags for garbage instead of buying actual garbage bags but they seem to stay in place pretty well just from the force of gravity.

Depends on the dog. My sister's dog is terrified of baths and just freezes up and trembles. Of course, treats are still useless, because the dog's too scared to eat them.

I've seen that with coffee grounds added for good measure. Seems like you'd end up with mold. Just compost that poo poo.

"Smear Peanut Butter On Your Shower Wall To Distract Your Dog In The Bath"



I tried this. My dog was very unhappy and refused to acknowledge the pb at all. I kept trying to nudge her toward it and she just ducked away in sadness at the indignity of bath time. Then again she's 10 lbs so it's not like she really needs distracting, she can't get out of the tub if she wanted to. D- hack, dog was miserable, I had to deal with pb everywhere. I put it on saran wrap and slapped it on the wall, but it was still gross.

Did you just smear it on the wall and then try to show it to her? You've got to get your dog worked up about it first, or else she wont be interested. Let her know she's getting a treat, make her do a few tricks, things like that. After a while of teasing, when you finally let her at it she'll be too busy to notice anything else.

At least, that's how I get my dog to take her pills. She always does baths okay.

I think they meant they put saran wrap on the wall, then peanut butter on the wrap to keep the walls of the shower clean for easy clean up.

True story: I found a cool friend at work when we both quoted the contemporaneous meme thread at each other, recognized what we were doing, then simultaneously asked if we had stairs in our houses. We were both shamed by this, and this shame formed a bond that would stand for all time be broken when he turned TCC and I went PYF/D&D

Do it again, but this time do a time lapse video with some jangly guitar music. That'll make it a life hack.

If you're gonna sing, you may as well do it in real time and use a whole bunch of jump cuts. Try to make sure you also have something audibly buzzing or humming somewhere nearby.
