[nagdu] Dog Deodorizing and other important things

[Mark J. Cadigan]

I live in a high-rise, so no windows to open. The air vents are all cleaned, 
and are set for maximum circulation.



I have had a pet dog, for a long time, so the smell does not bother me 
however, when I return to my room after being away all day, I can smell it. 
It's mostly for public relations purposes. I don't want to be known as that 
kid with the smelly or messy room.



However, my dog's breath is awful, suggestions for that?
