As one of three boys, I can only image the ordeals my husband’s brothers inflicted on their poor mother as they grew up. You don’t need me to tell you that boys are typically a little messier and wilder than tiny girls if you are a parent of boys. This kind of reasoning also certainly applies to a guys’ bathroom, particularly during potty training.
A little boy’s poop doesn’t always end up in the toilet, as you already know if you’ve potty trained him or are potty training him. And that’s just when this mom’s ingenious trick comes in handy. Three little boys use Priscilla Raquel Lloyd’s restroom, so she took to Facebook to offer her trick for getting rid of the odor. You will want to hear about it if you are a parent of a boy!
According to Priscilla, urine odors can be eliminated from your bathroom floor and the area surrounding the toilet by using traditional cheapo shaving cream. She continued by saying that even though she always disinfects the area by using a cleaner with a bleach base, the stale stench still remains because she is a mother of three sons who are potty training. For this reason, they periodically slap on some shaving cream to get rid of the odor of stale pee.
This trick looks like it’s definitely worth a try if you’re toilet training and scared your restroom won’t smell the same after. I appreciate you sharing, Priscilla!
Woman Risks Everything as Her Horse Faces Drowning See the Shocking Outcome
Anyone who has been to the ocean knows how unpredictable it can be. One of the most dangerous things about the ocean is the tide. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, the tide can turn deadly.
The tide can rise quickly, swallowing people and animals in seconds. In some cases, it can lead to a slow and painful death. This is what nearly happened to an 18-year-old horse named Astro.
Astro’s owner, Nicole Graham, and her daughter were enjoying a ride on the beach near Geelong, south of Melbourne, Australia. But soon, the horses wandered into soft sand, which quickly turned into a muddy trap.
Nicole’s daughter and her horse managed to escape, but Nicole and Astro were not so lucky. They sank deeper into the mud, and Astro was soon stuck up to his neck in thick clay, in danger of choking. For the next three hours, Nicole stayed by Astro’s side, fighting to keep him alive.
As the minutes passed, the situation became more desperate. Nicole had to calm her 1,000-pound (450 kg) horse to prevent him from sinking even deeper into the mud. As the tide started to come in, Astro was getting closer to suffocating. He was also at risk of dying from dehydration and exhaustion.
Thankfully, Nicole’s daughter was able to get to safety and call for help. A rescue team and a veterinarian arrived on the scene. The vet gave Astro a sedative to keep him calm, while Nicole stayed by his side, talking to him to reassure him. The team even called a helicopter, but they couldn’t lift Astro because he was too deeply stuck in the mud for a rope to be tied around him.
The rescue team tried hard to free Astro, but the mud was like quicksand, making it almost impossible to dig him out. As the tide got closer, Nicole feared they wouldn’t be able to save her beloved horse.
Then, a farmer arrived with his tractor. In a last attempt to free Astro, they attached a rope to the tractor and pulled. That’s when the miracle happened. Together, Nicole, the rescue workers, and the farmer managed to pull Astro out of the mud.
You can watch the incredible rescue here:
Nicole, who owns 10 horses, often rides along the beach, but this was the first time one of her horses had gotten stuck.
Luckily, this story had a happy ending. But it shows the importance of being careful around the ocean, even in familiar places.
Most of all, this story is a beautiful example of the powerful bond between humans and animals. It shows that love and determination can make miracles happen!
