Thank you all so much for your suggestions.  I am definitely going to go out and start looking for these cleaners!  We were smart enough to paint Killz on our wood floor when we pulled up the old carpet, so at least we know the the smell has not penetrated into the wood, just the carpet. 

Thanks for making me believe there is still hope out there for a smell free capret!   

I like to call Cooper 75% housebroken at this point.  We are finally starting to be able to tell the difference between his "I need to go potty" whine and his "I want to go outside and play" whine.  Our biggest issue now is morning potty problems.  I get up usually around 5-5:30 in the morning and feed Cooper and the cats, then take Cooper out to go potty.  Once he is done, I try to coax him upstairs to play with his toys while I jump in the shower.  I'd say 7 times out of 10 he will venture back downstairs and go both poop and pee in our living room (our living room is carpeted).  I know eventually we will get him fully trained. 

However, at this point, I am having a really hard time getting the smell out of our carpet.  The carpet was newly layed when we bought the house last May, so I really don't want to have to replace it yet.  I shampoo it at least once a month, and we use pet cleaners on it when he goes potty there.  I was wondering if anyone knows of any cleaner that is REALLY good at get pee smells out of carpet?  Since it is still only 20-30 degrees here during the day, I can't open the window to try to air it out at all.  Any suggests would be very appreciated!!

Congrats Cirra!  What a busy girl!!!

Oh so cute and yes, so big already!  What a great gift to get on Easter!

If you don't mind me asking...how much did it cost to get all those fantastic pictures done?   

Those are absolutely wonderful!  Amazing pics!!!!

How old is Lily?  A friend of mine has a Black Lab that shortly after he turned 5 years old, he starting having bumps, like hives on his feet and on his stomach (sometimes it wasn't that bad, other times he could barely walk because it hurt him so much).  My friends were baffled and so was their vet.  They called the breeder and he told him that their dogs father suddenly starting having allergic reactions to grass at 5 years old.  My friends took this new info to the vet, and low and behold, their big guy was allerigic to grass as well.  He is now taking daily pills in the Spring, Summer and Fall to help his allergies.  Since Spring is slowly starting in, maybe it is grass that is causing her bumps on her toes?  Just a thought and something to ask the vet.   

How can your husband say no to that face?!  I'd bring your husband up to the shelter and go and visit the cutie pie.  Chances are pretty good that he would be leaving with you (I can't step a foot in a shetler, because I always end up bringing an animal home with me).
