Today we found ourselves googling "remove ink stain suede windex". It makes me laugh just thinking about it but at the time I was so upset! Come lunch time, when a friend of ours went to our house to let our puppy Pippin out for a midday pit-stop, we were notified that Pippin (instead of being a wonderful little puppy that sits on our couch waiting for us to come come) had completely torn apart several books in our living room and chewed up an ink pen on our new suede couch. He created a complete disaster.
Specifically Pippin destroyed three of my Barefoot Contessa books (which, yes, drove me to tears), one Black Dog cookbook (easily replaceable I guess) , and one very precious Edith Holden "Diary of an Edwardian Lady". Sorry Mom- this makes me soooo sad! He of course left Tim's "Beer Book" completely untouched. Pippin then found a red pen somewhere amongst my books and chewed it to pieces on our new chocolate brown suede Crate and Barrel sofa. You would think that red pen would not show up on a chocolate brown couch, but don't be deceived. Tim, left to clean up the mess while I was at work, googled "remove ink stain suede windex". Again, it just makes me laugh.
After calming down from the whole escapade, I am once again delighted that God created wonderful, loving creatures that bring joy to our lives. So, would anyone like to watch our dog for two weeks in September while we are away?

That's awful! I hope that ink comes out. Did you try one of the new "oxy" cleaners? They do well on alot of stains.
OH Liz,
You made me laugh right out loud.
And that's a big deal.
The dog stories I could tell.......
Love,
Patty
I had a thought--at least Pippin didn't decide to chew up the brand new couch. An ink stain is probably preferable to a shredded cushion. :)
Hi Guys,
There will probably be a dry cleaning company in your area that can clean that cushion right up.
Pippen is a puppy. They chew everything. That's why my eyeglass case, my wallet, every tissue box in our house, has teeth marks. Enjoy!!
