Why does Finn have paint on him?

More importantly, how can I get it off without having to cut three snips at a time? (Understandably, he gets a little antsy when we trim him.) We already tried a bath, to no effect.

Re Finn, a thought popped into my head. Try a vegetable oil that isn't poisonous to dogs, and the kind of lice comb used on humans. The oil should soften the paint enough for the comb to scrape it off.

ARGH. So many of these this morning are sad.

Did Finn smack his tail into something not yet dry...? I knew at least one dog (a big lab, so a bit different) who got paint in his tail due to an unfortunately-timed wag.

Walked into paint.

[conuly]

I KNOW.

[conuly]

Hm. I'll try it. He definitely doesn't like me going at his leg with scissors, and I really, really don't blame him.

just so you know, when i click on the mixed infantry units story, i get a 404 error.

The AP has a bad habit of reusing and just deleting articles, but that was fast for them! Let me see if I can find it mirrored.

Oh, doggie.

[batwrangler]

Depends on type of paint. If it's latex/acrylic and he doesn't mind water, you can soften with water then comb out or peel off. Also, undercoat rakes are made up of semi-sharp blades to break through mats, so one might also help break through paint.

Water did bupkis. BUPKIS I TELL YOU.
