Granite - I'm a Botanist. I'm pretty sure that is NOT cilantro that is hot. You must have mistaken some other plant for it. And be very careful because there are extremely toxic plants in the family (Parsley Family/ Apiaciae). You are probably eating a mustard family plant like a cress or mustard (from mustard seed that you also composted?). I also keep sprouting seeds with my spices - so it could be another plant from that family like radish, if you also keep some of those seeds around. See if when it flowers it forms an umbel (like an umbrella) with the flowers in the ends of the 'spokes'. If so it's in the parsley family - but then photograph it and post it. If it does not flower (from a Spring sprout) - it's not cilantro either, as cilantro bolts very easily. Also - The cilantro I buy is often without nearly any flavor. When I grow it, it has lots. Some people think it's soapy - but in reality it's not soap, but the fragrances that are often put in dish soap, especially a popular one that is green. I can't stand scented dish soap so use unscented (though it slightly smells of the citrus oils they use as grease cutters). I don't think cilantro is soap-like myself, though it is very understandable. Cilantro also tastes very differently once it starts to produce flowers. It's often referred to as smelling of fleas - though human fleas are not at all common anymore so I have no idea (human fleas are a different species than the common cat or dog flea)! I still like it then, but it's not like the plant before that stage - and that may be more soap-like to some. Then the green seeds have another aroma, which then changes onces they are dry. So it's quite a unique plant. I did not like it at all when I grew it in our family garden when I was about 16 (years and years ago). Now I love it.

The one I keep going back to is one they only sell at Walmart in a white can that says PROFESSIONAL across the side and they sell two different ones but the one I like is the one that says it's like Vavoom. I have not tried the other one. I think this one is very popular because they are sold out many times. I have extremely fine limp medium length hair and it holds really well without spraying out of the can so hard it blows my style away which many canned hair sprays will do. Everything else I've liked has been discontinued...if I had to buy something else I would buy Big Sexy Hair spray and play harder I believe is the one. The actual Matrix Vavoom is not any good, but it's generic version from Wally's is awesome!

When we purchased our house the basement was carpeted and the owners said they had a fan on because the carpet was damp as they had shampooed it. We didn’t think much about it until we purchased the house and at certain times of the day and night there would be this stench. We ended up ripping out all the ceiling and wall drywall and found that the Septic O Pipe was leaking that runs the width of the house. So every time a toilet was flushed it was dripping . We changed the pipe and now it’s gone. We also had a really bad smell in one closet in the basement, we pulled that apart and didn’t find anything , then we ended up pulling the landing off the staircase and there was a cavity where one of the previous owners had put a new landing over an old landing, there had to have been 100 dead mice in the cavity, it was so gross my husband almost passed out when he pulled it apart. Now we have no mice or gross smells. It’s really a buyer beware on some things, this stench was probably there for many years and the owners didn’t know what it was so they just lived with it. Never know what behind drywall.

If it will be a month before treatment begins, sign up for an obedience class so you can learn how to have more control of him, plus it will be a bonding experience for both of you. You probably have trouble teaching him anything now simply because he is outside most of the time and none of the training is positive and repetitive. Contact your town Recreation Dept to see if they offer Dog Obedience, or some of the larger pet stores offer it. Google 'Dog Obedience Classes' for your area and several will most likely pop up. Personally, I prefer classes that are outdoors simply because it's the environment you would be walking him in, more distractions for the dog to get used to and definitely not as cramped as pet store aisles! Also, for chewing treats for large dogs, go to the meat dept of your grocer and ask for large bones, or knuckle bones. It'll keep him occupied for hours.
