Reminds me of the time my husband and I decide to take the carpet off the stairs, strip the finish on the stairs and restain. We waited until Edwina was asleep and she was SUPPOSE to stay that way. So there I am on my hands and knees, up to my elbows in stripper and here comes Edwina -- marching through the stripper. I panicked -- in the process of taking my gloves off and grabbing her I sat down in the stripper! Now that was painful! She, of course, was crying because she had to have her feet washed and washed! We were quite a pair.

Thanks for the compliments on the furniture. It is supposedly "French Country" style. Maybe that is why Edwina likes it so....
Welcome to the club. Last year, when we were stripping the kitchen cabinets, little Jan came strolling in and sat on a paper towel that had been used to clean up drips from the stripper.

I think we were more panicked than her. We scooped her up and ran to the bathroom and shut the door and imediately got her backside into the water - we didn't even wait for it to warm up.

She was just fine - I think we were the ones really worried. - we would have felt so terrible if we had done something to harm her.
