An Odoriferous Intimate Encounter
It was just one of those things.
He had just been released following his neuter surgery.
She was waiting to be called back for her cat to be checked.
They met in the lobby of a vet clinic (from the Denver Post)
From across the lobby, their eyes met.
He wagged his tail.
She smiled.
He came to her. She run her fingers through his fur.
It was love at first sight (from the Augusta Chronicle)
He peed on her shoe.
.
.
And moments later, he was gone.
But she still has the memories, and a shoe that smells like urine.
.
So…. any of ya know how to get that smell out of a leather shoe?

It would have just had to have been Jen’s favorite shoes, ya know. *sigh*
March 18, 2013 at 5:36 AM
Well, it was hilarious, but no fun to wear those shoes anymore! I wish I knew a trick for that, sorry.
March 18, 2013 at 6:05 AM
No, those shoes cannot be work…. except maybe for gardening.
March 18, 2013 at 5:40 AM
Oh dear!
March 18, 2013 at 6:04 AM
I know!

I don’t know if it would be any good on leather, but we picked up a tip from Bruce Fogle we used when we were house-training the boys; use white malt vinegar to neutralize the smell of pee. And it does work! (Apparently vodka or methylated spirits work too.)
March 18, 2013 at 6:04 AM
Since they are a beloved pair of shoes, Jen wants to give it a try. Thanks!!!!
March 18, 2013 at 6:20 AM
Life must have its symmetry. Pee on the other shoe.
March 18, 2013 at 6:22 AM
good idea!
March 18, 2013 at 6:36 AM
Hehehe. Whee shouldn’t laugh but!
Our Mummy uses white spirit to get rid of the smell, or febreeze spray if you have some. Also washing up liquid with a strong smell can be very good if you are dealing with something delicate, or dyed.
Hope the shoes survive

We’re gonna try it all. If it doesn’t work, they’ll go in the trash. But we have to try! Thanks!
March 18, 2013 at 6:52 AM
Paws crossed!
March 18, 2013 at 6:54 AM
Thanks!
March 18, 2013 at 6:40 AM
That is bad!
March 18, 2013 at 6:41 AM
That is stinky!
March 18, 2013 at 6:47 AM
I think vinegar would take the smell out! When Nikita was a puppy, she would get so excited when she saw the UPS guy at our house that she would always pee on the floor. It was funny until I had to clean it up.
March 18, 2013 at 6:54 AM
At least the driver’s shoes were spared!

Thank you!!!!
March 18, 2013 at 7:58 AM
Sorry I’m laughing but Jake peed on my NEW shoes last fall. They were a synthetic fabric so I could wash them and it worked. At least I can’t smell it. Maybe Nature’s Miracle? You are special!
March 18, 2013 at 8:00 AM
I didn’t think of that. They do have a formulation for dogs. Thanks!
March 18, 2013 at 8:01 AM
Oh no! Dogs are so funny and they don’t even know it.
Will Febreze work?
March 18, 2013 at 8:19 AM
Reminds me of the time I picked up a cat I had years ago named Morris from his neuter and once he got home, the last thing he ever sprayed, was my leg and I had shorts on!!
March 18, 2013 at 8:21 AM
I think that’s a really nice souvenir… why she wants to remove it?
Now she has a signed shoe, that’s stylish ;o)
March 18, 2013 at 8:47 AM
Not exactly the happy ending I was hoping for…..
March 18, 2013 at 8:50 AM
I think hiking the smell off works real well. And make sure there is hiking through a river.

Well….in Japan it’s said that ” alum water” works to get the smell of ammonia away. We can get the alum at the supermarket or pharmacy.
All we need is just to add some water to alum, so it’s not so difficult to make, mom hasn’t have any opportunity to use it though…
March 18, 2013 at 9:08 AM
I was thinking Nature’s Miracle. Also, when you want to get the stale smells out of a refrigerator, there are ideas like a pan of clean kitty litter, baking soda or charcoal briquets. Worth a try? Good luck!
March 18, 2013 at 9:45 AM
Cute story.
I bet that peeing on it again would work best and makes the leather softer. xD I can see though why Jen wouldn’t like that. Vinegar sounds good, or maybe lemon juice, it smells better than vinegar and is used to remove odours as well. But I don’t know what it might do to leather. Another thing she could try is cleaning solvent.
March 18, 2013 at 9:51 AM
Hee-hee, that’s tragically funny!
March 18, 2013 at 12:46 PM
You could try a paste of baking soda and vinegar smeared on then brushed off when dry then lay them out in the sun…
March 18, 2013 at 1:35 PM
Lol… oh no! I’ve been peed on before too. Unfortunately I don’t have any good tricks or tips for removing the smell.
March 18, 2013 at 1:38 PM
Too bad they weren’t canvas, you could have run them through the wash. I learned the hard way!
March 18, 2013 at 1:54 PM
HAHA awesome xD
March 18, 2013 at 2:07 PM
Brin once vomited in my slipper
Pee on leather is a toughie. I’d wash both shoes, and dry them with newspaper stuffed in them to hold their shape. Then shoe polish – and hope for the best x.
March 18, 2013 at 2:26 PM
I think I go with the pee on the other one lobby. At least you’ll have symmetry
March 18, 2013 at 2:54 PM
We’re not laffin’ really…nope…..Mom had a kitty that pooped in her Dad’s shoes once!
March 18, 2013 at 5:13 PM
Chalk the shoes up to the love of dogs.
March 18, 2013 at 5:35 PM
Yikes… I would wash them in the washingmachine on 30 degrees woolwash. Good luck
March 18, 2013 at 7:36 PM
We were going to suggest vinegar OR a new pair of shoes:)
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
March 18, 2013 at 9:47 PM
Pack the shoe with bicarb soda to absorb the smell
March 18, 2013 at 9:57 PM

I can hear the background music playing as we speak.

March 19, 2013 at 4:03 AM
Oh dear (mustn’t laugh), do hope you manage it. Now, if it was cat pee, we’d suggest you threw them out right now
March 19, 2013 at 9:37 AM
yeah, “yard shoes” now …
March 19, 2013 at 5:47 PM
Vinegar soak inside and out (both in case they shrink a bit or fade), saddle soap wash, silicone waterproofing. Trust me.
March 20, 2013 at 8:12 PM
Hydrogen peroxide, tomato juice, baking soda and Dawn. Oh wait, that’s for skunk spray. And it doesn’t even work that well. But then at least Jen’s shoe would smell like tomato instead of pee!
Maybe just time and fresh air will do the trick if all else fails?
Good luck!

Ha! ha! ha! me can’t stops giggling!
