So this afternoon I though Darby smelled a little ripe. It's been wet here for the last two days, but this seemed like more than just wet dog. A brief once-over revealed what looked like a ball of poop hanging off her backside. Geez. It's been at least three hours since she pooped. So I take her to the bathroom where I figure I'll just grab the dangling doo doo off with a hunk of toilet paper.
Only it doesn't come off. Rather it smashes into the fur like peanut butter. Darby seems to care not a bit, but I'm thinking the wife won't care for it at all should she notice...and how could she not. So I get a warm washcloth (one of the wife's special face cloths I think...better not mention it) and try to clean Darby's rear. But of course the warm water merely smeared it worse.
So finally (after hiding the washcloth) I call the wife in and while she holds Darby under her arm like a football, I go behind and use a pair of her scissors (eyelash scissors or something...I'm guessing she'll be buying new ones) and cut the sticky and poop-matted fur away from her little bottom. Darby's bottom I mean.
So before bringing Darby home I read a number of books, some good, some not so good. But in none of them was there a chapter about (or even a brief reference to) cutting poop smeared fur away from your puppy's butt with cosmetic scissors.
What else is coming that they haven't told me about?
