Title: Blue stinks!!!!!
Post by: bluesmum on March 30, 2004, 11:07:58 AM: He's done it again!!!!!! :evil:

Out on our walk this morning and Blue sniffs out.............fox poo!!!!!! :shock:

He rolls on his back in it, loving every stinky second, making sure that he gets lots and lots on the back of his neck :lol:

Yuck, dogs huh?! Indies not done it yet, but I bet he will, so far he just likes eating his own poo :shock:

He does get incredibly muddy being so light coloured, he was swimming last night in the park, and we had to bath him when we got home

Why do dogs do this?

Because they are vile little creatures that see it as their duty to inconvenience and disgust us at every given opportunity. :twisted:

Jimmy has only done it once, on one of the first times I ever took Misty out for a walk with us. She decided it would be fun to eat it off the side of his coat. I recall thinking getting a second dog was maybe not such a good idea at this point. :lol: I remembered advice given on here to wash it out with tomato ketchup and it worked a treat ! :D

PS Maria, I misread this thread as Blues Stink at first, I thought it was a reference to Everton . :lol:

:shock: And no doubt you wanted to answer to it just to defend us Blues - Thankyou Colin :wink: :lol:

I do use tomato sauce on Blue when he's been foxed :wink: and your right Colin it does work. 8)

Post by: daftcockers on March 30, 2004, 06:26:17 PM: I once use the tomato ketchup on Alfie as he was a little b***** for rolling in fox poo, the result was Archie and Sonny trying to lick all the sauce off Alfie, poor dog thought he was going to be thier dinner :D

Post by: bluesmum on April 06, 2004, 01:33:58 PM: I ve just been to Pets At Home and saw these things called dried tripe sticks and thought that as i'd heard alot of you on here talking about feeding your dogs tripe that I would give them a go as I am not brave enough to feed him the raw tripe :?

Anyway I get home and open the bag and Blues tail is nearly falling off with excitement for one of these things, when I take a sniff and would you believe it ............ they smell like fox poo!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

I't's bath time again for Blue as he never took a single bite out of the tripe stick just rolled all over it! :roll: :twisted: :lol:

Post by: suzysu on April 06, 2004, 04:25:24 PM: I sympathise - my two just luuuuuuv fox poo !! I am having to wash them so often it is becoming a bit of a nightmare. I hav'nt tried the tomato ketchup trick so will give it a go.

I am even now considering getting a couple of coats for them to wear, at least for the winter - thought they might be easier to wash that two hairy dogs!

Has anyone tried dog coats - do they restrict them in any way?

Also, has anyone got a tip for bathing - bending over the bath to wash them so often is doing my back no good at all!!

Post by: bluesmum on April 06, 2004, 09:41:00 PM: Hi Suzysu,

I did try Blue with a coat and although it didn't restrict him, i still found that i needed to clean Blue when we got back due to the feathering on his legs and tummy so I dont bother with it anymore.
