Thanks for posting your hilarious "introduction" and welcome to the forum. I also will be one of those standing in line for a 'fart filter'. Our cat likes to lay draped over my left shoulder and lean against my face. Sometimes he wakes me up by violently flipping an ear caught in the stream of exhaust port air. I've asked my Hubby to get a photo of the cat snuggling with me.
As smelly as your 4-legged friends can be.... if that is the only trouble you have with CPAP you are truly blessed!
Best Wishes and keep posting!
Cindy

Hello and welcome!! That story made me laugh. I only have a cat and she never emits gassy odors, that I know of. A perfect lady is Miss Lilly. You will find this forum is filled with many great folks that willingly offer their help to those in need. Thanks for starting my day with a giggle.

Welcome! What a great story
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.

Yes, both are lab mixes (with German shepherd).

Maybe we can buy one of these and cut little filters out of it!

Oh gosh, that is just hilarious! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and they are all wildly gassy. The cats are huge, 9 month old brother toms, aptly nicknamed The Farty Brothers. Nobody sleeps w/me tho', so I think I am safe. I did put a lavender sachet near my filter this a.m. It'll be nice, tonight, to smell lavender rather than plastic.

Anyway, welcome. I'm new here, too. I've been using my CPAP machine for 5 days and am able to sleep for up to 4-5 hrs at a time w/it, and to go back to sleep, which is a great improvement.
