Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Since Illinois is skipping winter this year my yard is a mushy squishy mess! Any of you have any good tips or tricks for cleaning paws, and legs, and sometimes bellies?
I tried having a towel but it turns into a useless muddy rag pretty quick. |

| Oh good post! Similar to Illinois, Minnesota is doing a pretty good job of skipping winter as well...
It seems no matter what steps we take, our wood floors do a good job of tracking Brewer's movements throughout the house. We have been cycling a number of bath towels at each of the entrances / exits, but I do like the idea of using baby wipes.

| I have this... I love the mitts becuase it makes it easy to get their feet good and clean. Plus it's antibac so it doesn't have to be washed after every use. |

| I saw a product at Target last month that made me laugh. It was basically a plastic container that you are to fill with warm water. The top of the container has a microfiber "puffy ring" around it. You are to insert the dog's muddy paw, give it a swish, then remove and dry off! I tried to find a link to this online and can't seem to find it.
FYI, we keep a red Solo cup available to fill with water and dip paws in if the mud is bad enough. It costs nearly nothing and really gets the mud loosened up, then you can just towel right off.
These huskies are nearly "self-cleaning" anyway! |

I saw that at our Target the other day. Might have to look into it... _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| I use a plain old towel for minor muddy clean ups. For heavy duty jobs I use my HV dryer which kills two birds with one stone, blasts the mud off while drying. _________________ |

| We use baby wipes too - but just make sure whatever you use isn't toxic since the doggies may lick their paws afterwards. |

| We used the Paw Plunger (http://www.pawplunger.com/). It worked really well, until the dog-sitter left it out and it got used as a chew toy.
It has warm water in it, and bristles inside, and does a great job of cleaning. Just need to make sure to have a towel handy to dry with. |
