painted greyhound???

[prince]

hi everyone
Never leave your greyhound with the male species . Today my husband decided to paint a door with gloss paint which is situated inbetween the kitchen and lounge, and walked away to paint another door. Only for prince to get excited and let my husband know he wanted to go out.
Yes you guessed it prince was so excited he wagged his tail only to end up getting covered in gloss paint.So i`ve had to come home from work to sort the situation out.
Prince had half his tail covered in the stuff. so a tip on if it should ever happen to you. i used pet wet wipes so it didn`t go dry and the rake comb to gentle brush the paint out. Prince now has no paint in his tail
The other advise is never leave your other half incharge of gloss paint, if you do take your greyhound to work with you they maybe safer. ;D ;D ;D

Hi Totally agree with you about leaving the male species with your greyhound, I left my husband with Mersey one day and she had white paint all down one side, so yes agree always take your greyhound with you when your husband is painting.

Both these comments are a scanalous piece of libel...LOL!

On a serious note don't try and clean gloss type paints off with white spirit like my father in law did with a cat, only to realise that the cat licking itself meant it would take in a poisonous substance and then he ended up rushing to the vets and getting a hefty bill at the end.

P.S. The cat was OK.

totally agree Mark. i was a little unsure what to do at first (white spirit did not come to mind ) i was more worried prince would try and lick it off,. and with prince having shares at the vets i didn`t want him buying them out lol.
I thought i would put what i did on here just in case it should happen accidently to anyone else. prince has enough white spots on him as it is and i did tell my husband very harshly he did not need to add any more lol
