You'd think I'd be able to cope with Sainsburys, wouldn't you? I was only going shopping after all. But even that turned into a minor traumatic experience.
I made a point of avoiding the dog food aisle but my eyes filled up when I saw - wait for it - air fresheners.
In the last year or so, the house smelled - not just old dog smells but other, even less pleasant, whiffs resulting from Harvey's 'little problem'. So I became something of a connoisseur when it came to air fresheners. And my conclusion: nothing works. (Except candles, which are an expensive way of dealing with the dilemma.)
Just last week I bought a fancy new perfume diffuser cum toilet cleanser; it's made the toilet smell like a public lavatory. The sort with the very distinctive and highly-artificial scent. The smell also lingers on the person who has just used the loo.
So I won't be buying that again.

it'll be the little things for a while Liz, but you'll feel better soon. Keep smiling :)
Thinking of you xx
I change my air fresheners all the time...meaning the type of scent/flavour...because after a while they all get that "public toilet" smell about them, I reckon...even the most highly-perfumed.
It's okay, Liz...I get misty-eyed over the most strangest things too...I drove home from the supermarket the other day welling up with tears...something started it off, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was now. ;)
Mm.. I tried those new toilet/air fresheners, too. Made me feel nauseous.
It will take a while but it does get better. It is funny how the strangest things set you off.
When my previous dog died, I was still working and I think I cried for two weeks straight if anyone looked sideways at me.
Take care

Do you know the Harvey video link at the side isn't working?
:/
Hope the grief passes soon.
Liz, I know how you feel. After I lost my last dog, I avoided the dog food aisle as much as I could. And I still can't buy "Schmackos", which he loved. [We can get them here.] I can understand perfectly how the air fresheners upset you. Take care x
