I've done that!!!! Only it wasn't a bamboo plant. It was a jar of opened baby food my sister had put into a secret compartment of Goober's diaper bag that I didn't know about for, oh, four months, and only discovered because I felt something hard in an area of the diaper bag I never go into. The worst part was that I walked around a shopping mall with that bag and seriously thought that my shopping companions had something seriously wrong with them. Oooh!!! I’ve done that!!!!

I need me some of that! :) Don't feel too bad about Abbeydog, I thought Roy was in need of a bath (which I was going to postpone because he was supposed to spend the weekend at the kennel and dogs always get so dirty there . . . ) - anyway, I ignored it Thursday night and Friday when I took off his collar, he had an infected wound underneath it, hence the stink. I am such a bad dog mama. He's fine though, thank goodness. And what are these paying gigs that you speak of? I need me some of that! :)

My husband STILL blames ours whenever he lets one go. It's never gonna be funny. I try to tell him. Can we say thick skull? Haha. Seriously, don;t feel bad for blaming the dog.

Ummm, yeah, don't ask.....NOT GOOD!! I'm glad that it was just mold on your rocks. A cap full of Listerine in the water that you water your plants with might help but it smells like medicine.

Ugh. It had been trapped under the fridge where I couldn't see it. Well, the kitchen got an extra cleaning in my efforts to find the source of the odor -- and I don't have a dog to blame.

I'm glad you finally figured it out so you could put an end to the smell and the headaches. I have to admit you had me cracking up about blaming the dog. In my household, there are no pets to blame for my stench. LOL! Hunh - I’d have never guessed that a moldy plant would cause such stinkiness.

The pest control people came and threw out bait, etc. and apparently it worked very well. It killed the critters and they dropped dead in their tracks. Unfortunately it was under our house or in the crawl space and the odor floated upwards into the house. Ick I had the same thing happen at my house with much more difficult fix.
