[nagdu] getting gum off of a dog

Sun Dec 11 01:47:07 UTC 2011

Larry,

Heavens! No, thank you re: pulling a fly strip off a bird. I take it the 
bird was not in agreement with your plan to assist? Yeeks!

With my poodle guide, I live in fear of gum! But, no, I generally manage 
to be the one to pick it up. /lol/ I had originally planned to be super 
strict at bust stops and on the bus about the whole sit down stay bit... 
Until I realized about the gum and worse! Now, when we're working, "sit" 
means something like, "please be mellow and out of the way somehow but 
only sit down if you're not going to get gunk in your curls." /lol/ 
That's one reason I went to the super short shear for her. Still, once 
she would start growing out, I would live in fear of gum, pop, spilled 
milkshakes... /lol/ Same with putting her under the seats in the bus... 
Or if the area under the table in a restaurant hasn't been cleaned 
properly... If they want my dog out of sight and out of the way under 
the table, they can keep their restaurant clean! Urgh! This is more of a 
problem the past couple of years because of the economy... Even 
restaurants we used to frequent knowing they would be clean and 
well-maintained... Not so much, if they've managed to stay in business 
at all.  Sigh. Still, as I see it, if they can't keep the area under the 
tables clean, then they will have to put up with having a guide dog as 
out of the way as possible where she's not going to be hoovering while 
she's getting filthy. Nope! Ha! /lol/

Making sure my black poodle doesn't go out into public sporting rawhide 
on her front paws and muzzle is a constant fuss, too. Not so big a deal 
after a shearing, but... Funny thing. The puppy likes to pick the 
rawhide off of Mitzi's paws and muzzle, because Mitzi is woolly right 
now... Mitzi lets her and seems to like it. Huh. When we're going out 
and I'm hurriedly washing with a washcloth, then picking at the bits I 
can still feel, she acts like this is a huge imposition. But it's funny, 
I guess, when the puppy yanks the rawhide residue off with her sharp 
little teeth. I give up. /lol/
