A first for me and any dog owner I know...

Too funny, he was sniffing something earlier tonight in the grass, so I went over to investigate to make sure it wasn't something gross...IT WAS, it was a nice big hunk of white already chewed gum! And it was stuck in my baby's "beard!" I thought I would have to cut it out but luckily I got him back inside in the light and the fiance held him still while I pulled. It came out pretty easy, phew! For a second there I was running into the house with my arms stuck out with Gretsch dangling.

I was wondering if anyone has has this happen before??

Luckily it was there where his hair is more wiry, if he had gotten it into his fluff I would have had to cut it out. : )

Phew!

My my, these dogs will get into anything. Glad you got the gum out without a lot of trouble. Right now Malcolm has a little piece of masking tape on his leg. Somehow he got hold of a roll of masking tape and was happily chewing on it until he got busted. There was tape on his head, side and legs. I was able to get most of it off, but the one piece was stuck on his leg pretty good. I got the scissors, but he was squirming around too much so I put the scissors away. Oh well, maybe some soap and water will work, but now I'm too tired to fuss with him so tomorrow we will try again.
