The Pet Show On ABC Washington DC

On the set at the ABC Studios in Washington DC.

What a beautiful day in northern Virginia! It felt like summer in New England. I was lucky enough to be able to travel to DC and stay with some old friends before traveling off to Arlington to shoot a segment with Dr Katy and ABC. I hope you get to see the segment as we talked about how important it is to keep the toxic cleaners away from your pets (and kids too).  They want me to come back and do a Mixology Show. Sounds like fun - especially if I bring the vodka!

Cleaning Up After Halloween Pranks

The morning after Halloween can be a real surprise if you've been pranked by some little goblins. Here are some solutions for cleaning up after four typical Halloween pranks.

1. Your house was "egged". If the neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to throw some eggs on your home, here's how to get it off. Time is of the essence, so make sure you deal with this mess right a way. Use your garden hose and wet the area underneath the egg. Moisten the area with cool water. Don't spray the egg directly, as it will just spray the mess everywhere. Once the entire area under the egg is wet, start gently spraying the siding above the egg. All you want to do is let the running water wash it off gently.

2. Your trees and lawn were "TP-ed"So you wake up to toilet paper all over your front yard. Get out there immediately with a broom or rake. You want to get the paper down before it turns to mush. Work from top to bottom and if the toilet paper isn't too wet you can try a leaf blower.

3. Your car has shaving cream all over the windows. Don't fret, this is easy to remove as long as you don't try to scrape it off. Just gently wash cool water over it until the shaving cream starts to dissolve.

4. They smashed your pumpkins The little pranksters just couldn't leave your pumpkins alone. It won't be a problem as long as you deal with it quickly. Remove all the big pieces with a shovel and wash off the "goop" with your garden hose. Don't let this sit for even one day. The sun and heat will bake it into your driveway in less than eight hours.
