Doodle Poo on High Pile Area Rug *not for weak stomachs

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

I have one of those high pile shaggy area rugs in my living room, which I stupidly bought when a certain female doodle pooped all over the other one I had. This is my second rug since Sophie and Winnie came into my life. I need something to dampen the sound of them playing in the living room in order to save the sanity of the nieghbour below me, so I need the rug.

Anyway, I came home to poop on the rug. Sophie has irritable bowel (my diagnosis) and I guess she has gotten into something.

Any suggestions for cleaning doodle poop out of a shag rug? It's not as easy as the old flat one. The more I wipe the more the poop just gets into the fibres.

I have a dinner date tonight and need to hurry up and get this cleaned up. Thank goodness the doodles have a sitter for the evening!

p.s. why do I feel like I am always writing discussions about poo??

[F, Calla & Luca]

Never. They always get the rugs with either end.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yep. And all of my dogs have also chosen the sofas as good spots to upchuck.

[Pat and Traveler]

Aaaarrrggghhh...Trav threw up on the bed last night.  Why not the floor??  Laundry, laundry, laundry....

[Carolyn and Ruby]

I've had more poop discussions since I've had Ruby (4 months) than in my entire existence.
