Chewing gum in fur

[Shaz82]

Maisy now has a tiny bald patch where I had to cut out some chewing gum she had accidentally rolled in in the park. Two bits were stuck to her, one on her back which came out ok, one on her side which I had to cut away.

This park is full of bins - why can't people just use them?

Because they are DISGUSTING, THOUGHTLESS and LAZY. Sorry about Maisy's fur If it happens again you could try an ice cube, it works on carpets/rugs. xx

So gross...when Quinn was a puppy she used to pick it up and chew it (and swallow if we didn’t act quick). I remember one time she even had minty breath ?

That's was my fear when she was a pup as there is so much laying around, and it is dangerous to swallow as it contains xylitol, thank goodness she never did.

Oh yuck! How annoying. I really dislike chewing gum anyway, but why oh why throw the chewed up stuff on the ground - it's plain disgusting

Use peanut butter to get it out!

 

[Boogie]

Yes, peanut butter is the answer

Yucky stuff but great for getting chewing gum out.

I have two daughters with long hair. When they were little they sometimes came home with chewing gum in their hair. That is how I learned to use peanut butter...

Will stash that tip away for future reference! Poor Maisy...

 

[Lab_adore]

Bogans, anyone who throws chewie on the ground. I hate getting it on the soles of my shoes let alone on Maxx! Ick. Poor Maisy

You spelt 'yummy' wrong?

Oh, this is good to know. Carbon stepped in some a couple days ago and got it all on his nail and between his toes. Ick! I don't like gum anyway, but trying to clean that mess off would have put me off for life.

As an American, I'm genetically programmed (or morally obligated?) to love peanut butter, but now I pretty much only think of it as Kong stuffing.

My dad is crazy about the stuff, though, and likes to eat it out of the jar with a spoon. Years ago when I had my first dog, my dad came over to my house to check on him while I was at work. I couldn't figure out why all my Kong peanut butter stash was gone when I got home. Then I realised that he must have eaten the dog's supply. You know, including the dog spit and me sticking my finger in the jar to smear in the Kong?

I never mentioned it to my dad, but after that made sure I had a jar in the fridge marked 'FOR DOGS ONLY' and another 'FOR HUMANS'. I think he figured it out on his own but was too disgusted/embarrassed to say anything to me about the jar that went missing.

I adore peanut butter & will eat it straight from the jar.

 

[Charlie]

Oooh yuk I just don't get it, even the smell xx

 

[Shaz82]

I didn't really like it until I had Maisy, now I lick the spoon after I have filled the (clean) kong.

So I also think of it as kong stuffing, and also what helped in the demise of Elvis!

Well of course, that's the only way to eat it!

I love peanut butter too! But I love nuts - all nuts (including my yellow furry one and the one I married)

I am very un-Australian though, in that I can't stand vegemite! I wasn't fed it as a child which I believe is a prerequisite to liking it as an adult
