When my parents demanded rent for the basement I’d turned into a haven, they never expected it would lead to my escape and their ultimate regret. I’d always felt like the black sheep in my family. It was not just a feeling, though. It was pretty obvious when you looked at how differently my parents treated me and my younger brother, Daniel.

If you’ve ever owned a dog or a cat, you know the struggle is real. As much as we love our furry companions, dealing with pet urine around the house is something no one enjoys. Whether it’s a stubborn pup still learning house rules or a territorial cat making its mark, the scent and the stain can be both embarrassing and difficult to remove. Even worse, once an animal pees in one spot, they often return to that same area again and again, no matter how much you scrub or spray. But what if there was a simple, all-natural way…
