Anybody know how to remove motor oil from a miniature Dachshund?
The dish detergent is not cutting it.  Guess that only works on sea birds.

Turpentine, maybe?  Or gasoline?

Solvents...I have some varsol...I wonder how sensitive his skin is.  We got some of the oil off, but there is still a good bit there.  (He fell into a pan of oil left from an oil change.  Most of his back half got soaked.    )

Did you try baby powder or cornstarch?  It will probably get messier before it gets cleaner that way though.

Dawn dishwashing liquid seriously cleans oil off of almost anything. It's what is used in highway oil spills. Even what is used to clean animals affected by oil spills like the one in the Gulf of Mexico. It's almost miraculous stuff!

This whole line of posts reminds me of the single funniest thread I ever read on any internet forum - it was on an automotive forum (a friend sent me the link; I don't hang out in such places myself!).  The thread title was "How do I get Herculiner off of my hootus?"

Some guy was using spray bed liner on his pickup, and had to use the restroom, and . . .  well, I'll let you imagine the rest.   The only thing funnier than his predicament was some of the proposed solutions!!!!!

Being a parent I find myself saying the oddest things.  Things I've never expected to say like, "Put that heater vent down before you put your brother's eye out".

That's nothing, I'm not a parent, but I once said to my nephew, "Mike!  You don't go throwing lions into the toilet!"  And right afterward I thought, "Gee, never thought I'd like long enough to say THAT."

Cornstarch certainly couldn't hurt - thanks!  lol it's already become a multi-step messy process.  Thank goodness he's an outdoor animal! The dog 'officially' belongs to my youngest, so I put the kids on it.  Silly animal thought he had gone to the spa yesterday...soaking in a warm tub, body massages, fluffy towels...he hasn't had that much sustained attention in months!

I figured we used the wrong brand - how different can they be?  But the stuff we used didn't budge much of the oil, so there must be something in Dawn that the others lack.

    You did notice I avoided referring to this dog as my 'wiener' eh?  That might have raised a few eyebrows...

Being away was making me sad.

But on the plus side, I think I've discovered who I am as a writer!

Excellent!     That has to make it worth being away - welcome back!

  Thank you!

Going out to Long Island, NY tomorrow for a huge family party. It's supposed to reach 100 degrees! I Just might go on the kids water slide or run in the sprinkler!

So who are you as a writer?

I'm guessing you're a writer like me---someone whose M.O. is to constantly put off writing by posting on Internet message boards.
