Is she actually dirty or does she have an odor problem?

Who told you she needs a bath?
Can I ask why you aren't able to brush her? There are a lot of new products and tools that can help if you have a problem with your hands or arms.
I have clients who get their dogs bathed every week but I really don't recommend that, especially for a collie type of coat. Unless your groomer missed something she should be good for quite awhile in that department.

Cat Odor
Try spraying Febreze animal odor eliminator. Works very well for me. Had two spots in two different areas of living room carpet. Can't smell anything now. I did use a mixture of vinegar and water prior to using the above though.
Mattress odor
OK, this is a little gross, but I know you ladies are a fountain of knowlege about all kinds of things, so I'm hoping you can help. My adult niece just left after spending 2 months living with us after a rough spot in her life. She slept in my college daughter's room in her bed. There is a bad smell in the room, and I can't get rid of it even after airing out the room for 2 days. I have traced it to the mattress, mainly at the foot of the bed. She had a cat in there with her but it smells nothing like cat urine, and there are no stains at all on the mattress. I honestly think it's some kind of weird body odor, probably from the feet, and seems to have permeated an area of the mattress. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to try to get rid of this odor, short of dumping the mattress? I'll do it as a last resort, but I hate to spend the money to get a new one. HELP!
Onion odor - eeewwww!
I did a really dumb thing. On Sunday I cut open a big purple onion and used a couple of slices in a dish. Then, wanting to be frugal and not throw the rest away, I wrapped the rest of the onion in plastic wrap and stuck it in my fridge, on a plastic shelf in the door, face-down. Okay, I'm 55 and have almost never used onions. I only bought a big one because they were out of the little pearl onions. Now, two days later, my fridge smells to high heaven! I washed out the little shelf I had put the onion on with soap and water and it didn't do anything to help. So far, all I've been able to do is put a big lump of baking soda on the shelf and hope a lot. Any ideas?
I would think if the odor was truly BAD and a problem, it's something bacterial, and nothing an O

You'll have to get something with a biological odor eater in it. Fabreze is not
s
You need a biological odor killer. Found in better hardware stores. Have no
Names are something along those lines, but make sure it has the word biological in it. If you can wash the blanket, put some in the wash water. If it's not washable, then just spray it for a few days in a row while hung up. I got rid of smoke odor in a couch using this stuff. It really works! Fabreze and other name brand odor eaters are not enough to do a complete job. The stuff is pricey, but worth it. Gets rid of skunk, mold smells, vomit, all kinds of funk! You can probably search for these products on line and then see if your local hardware stores or cleaning supply places have them locally. Good luck! nm
Sounds like bacterial vaginosis to me. Is it a fishy odor? occur after sex too?

I am soooo glad in knowing I am not the only one who thinks he is cute! He just seems like he would be so much fun to be around and really enjoys life. I have no problem when my son changes the channel to what that. He just doesn't know I secretly like the host!!! 
Dirty Jobs
Same here, my husband and son don't know I like him either. I'm afraid that would ruin it for them and they would never want to watch it. I love the Mike. He is hilarious and I agree with the other posters - the goeduck episode was the best ever! I can watch it over and over and LMAO every time. I giggle just thinking about it.
MMM, Dirty Jobs - what's that guy's name? sm
He's hot. :D
boy, my thoughts are too dirty on that one to express them!!!! nm

It's not the dirty talk - it's the disrespect (sm)...
It sounds to me that your real problem is that he dislikes and does not respect women in general. Has he always been like this or has he changed? Have you changed the church you go to? Are you getting "male superiority" type messages from church? If not, why not talk to your pastor or minister? I know that it is embarrassing but you can discuss his lack of respect, how he talks and feels about women and, then, let him know that it is effecting you and causing you to withhold "intimacy". Believe me, he'll know what you mean! Furthermore, if I had to guess what caused this change (if he has changed) I would say that your husband's behavior is due to looking at and/or reading demeaning pornography! He is treating you like he would a prostitute and you certainly need to have someone intervene and wake him up. If you cannot find someone to talk to in the church, try a social service "hot line" for women. Men like that can go from bad to worse and you could find yourself in a heck of a bad situation without help! Go get some, now!

Do you use bad language / dirty words?
I try not to use dirty words. I feel that it just shows that I have a limited vocabulary. (My kids hate that). However, there are times, that I fall back and say things I should not.
Today was one of those days. I said the "f" word. Well, actually, I didn't say the "f" word. I said I am "f" mad. Not fing mad just "f" (the letter) mad.
I always told my children that this is a word that should only be used in the most dire circumstance if at all.
Dirty Dancing also and Pretty woman..nm

I've been through this sort of, but I was the dirty house - sm
Girl invited over one time for my daughter's B-day party. I cleaned the house, picked up, dusted, vacuumed, mopped, etc. I am not the best housekeeper in the world but I do a good job when I do clean. We don't have ants or roaches, or any other type of bugs or rodents. BUT we have a lot of clutter which obviously makes things look dirty/messy. I have slowly been getting rid of it but have a long way to go still. I have been squirrling things away in boxes, put them in the garage and see if anything gets missed. Next step is dump or ebay. I keep clean kids, bathe regularly, etc. This girl was/is forbidden to come here ever again because our house is messy per her grandmother (mother is dead, being raised by grandma and grandpa as the dad is too lazy to do it apparently). I could care less that they think my cluttered shelf in the kitchen is offensive to them, or our 50 pictures on the mantle bother them (slight exageration), or my husbands collectables in every corner covered in blanklets (though I do want them out, would make a big difference); we are not slobs. Yeah, I find it a little annoying, but I feel bad for the little girl as she is not allowed to ever get dirty and that is half the fun of growing up. The grandparents have no tolerance for any mess, that kid must live in a bubble. My MIL is exactly the same way too, but this lady is young, about mid-50s, so you think she'd still remember. I know this is not what you mean though. Hygiene is quite necessary and the girl will be teased and tortured by her friends if they see she lives in a pit. You could alway offer to help the mom get ready for the party, though there is no nice way to say, hey let me help you clean your house, it is really gross and needs a total overhaul, and you need to learn how to do laundry, bathe and brush teeth. Kind of hard to do definitely. Just do what you think is right and be as tactful as you can.
I have been told that lice don't like dirty hair - sm
and when there is an outbreak at school to use mousse in the hair as it is sticky, etc. and the lice don't like it. Don't know if it is true but it makes some sense, though if this girl is always dirty and still has lice (especially if they like clean heads) then that kind of makes no sense. I am not sure of our schools policy but I think it is one where the kid is not allowed back until they can prove they don't have it any longer. So far we have had no lice reports this year, had about 3 last year. My DH has a cow over them and I tell my girls not to share hats, combs, brushes, etc. , and when we have the lice scares I use mousse on them for a week or so. So far so good. ---One solution they could do for the girl is to shave her head, no hair, no lice, though it is a drastic solution but I know a family that did that as they had a strain of resistant lice that just would not go away no matter what they did.
Underwear - clean or dirty, your choice.

Do you have dirty dishes or excess amount
of trash that needs to be taken out?
Probably anything from the top of the "pop" charts that doesn't sound too dirty. Or just as

TV crush -- Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is So Hot!!!
Oh man, he is so funny and manly and smart. That show is so loaded with sexual innuendo. Can't get enough. Think he is a fine specimen of man... yummy yummy.
Dirty World...it's a Traveling Wilburys song sung by him
The world's best supergroup is the Traveling Wilburys! My 3-year-old loves the video of Bob Dylan singing Inside Out with the TW. She thinks he looks mad when he sings. The TW is made up of George Harrison (my favorite), Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne.

I've ended the cazillion dirty glasses in the sink every day problem...
My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use. Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.
I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers. I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household. At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color. After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day. I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf. They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?" None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass. If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.
This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!
The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
I like the Dirty Jobs show. Some of the jobs they
show are really quite interesting.
