Anyone know of a good way of getting dog hair out of your mouth? I have no use of my fingers as such -- I can probe around on my face, in my mouth, but damn it's frustrating, with pet hair and the tip of my tongue!

I suggest you teach the dog to shave.

What you gotta do is get someone to take some duct tape, and wrap it around your dog really tight!

Ya know, I'm not sure the best way to get pet (dog) hair out of your mouth.
I do have a fairly good idea how not to let it get in there in the first place though.

When most folks think "12 step program" Alcoholics Anonymous immediately comes to mind. Don't be fooled boys and girls. There are many, many types of addictions and almost as many recovery programs to help bring relief to those who need them.

Let me say this before we go any further. I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS judge someone, good , bad, or indifferent because of their sexual proclivities. Lord knows, the kinda shit that has at one time or another helped keep my lil' dingy upright and on an even keel would, I'm sure, be considered if not heinous, then at least unbeliveably unethical to damn near anyone I don't care HOW open minded they may consider themselves.

That said, let's move on. You too Ratticis, we have a lot to cover and not much time. Thank you....RAT!? There's a good lad.

Since the beginning of recorded history, bestiality has been considered by many cultures to be a perfectly viable low cost alternative to male, female sexual pursuits. Legal in many places, it is both cleaner, hygienically and less expensive than the purchase of prostitutes, gigolos or male hustlers.
Safer too, because the chances of succumbing to the ravages of an infectious disease are minimized greatly.

Like I said pal, what you do in the wee hours o' the morn. Or with whom OR WHAT you do it, is of course, up to you long as you ain't chasing after me with a mouthful of dog hair and a world class hardon. But if you'd like some help, it's out there. Simply hold yer head up proudly and in a calm clear voice so that all may hear you say,"hi, my name is Capt Pike and I'm a......

E-dog
when it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight, call the Marines.

I will nevah, EVAH take a pinch from a greasy muddahf*@kah like you!

How 'bout if I spell it out for ya. D-I-L-L-I-G-A-F

Rinse your mouth with water. Next time, don't let the fox indoors. Much less let it sleep on your face. What are you doing with a fox for a pet, anyway? (What breed of dog is that?)

I've a cat that moults like nothing on earth & I too seem to find that I can suddenly be inhaling pet hair that then acts as if it's super glued to me. My disability means that sometimes my fingers work & sometimes they don't, but I do the same thing regardless as it's faster. I just roll my tongue round the inside of my mouth then lick it off on something textured like an towel/face cloth/sleeve (hey, I figure it's as clean as the cat hair!).

Cat - yes, it really is my name (who wonders where certain forum regulars imaginations will go with this solution :yahoo: ) Oh great, thought I might have posted here before - so now my first post is about licking off cat hair. Brilliant! LOL

We've got more critters than people in my house & one of them fuzzy family members is a SIBERIAN HUSKY! You want to talk hair in everything AND everywhere........have a HUSKY & you'll have more zig-zag hairs than you shake a lint brush at!

We do an awful lot of spitting out hairs. To love my dog is to wear my dog.

Cute puppy! I'm a huge animal lover, especially dogs. I have five dogs, and my golden retriever and chihuahua used to shed a lot. I definitely recommend the FURminator. http://www.furminator.com/

When my dogs wagged their tails near my face I would get hair in my mouth, and not to mention whenever they would play and run round the house hair would be flying everywhere. Couches, floors, jackets, everything! Since using the FURminator they shed much less, its amazing.

Also, the food you feed them has A LOT to do with their coat, but don't even get me started on THAT topic ;]

I have cats. The Furminator product works wonderfully! I was surprised the first time I used it and got an entire other cat out of each cat.

E-dog - your reply is priceless!

As for a realistic suggestion to the OP, water, perhaps swish around then spit out is about the only thing I can really think of. Very adorable cause of your problem you have

Body and pubic hair sticks to soap... maybe soap has hair-attracting properties, you know, like magnets and iron. Maybe you could open your mouth near some soap, and the hair would just zzzzip out and stick to it.


...yeah, I have no helpful suggestions.

Alright alright, enough already! You semi-able-bodied-people-with-fingers, sheesh... you're worse than regular people. I guess you just haven't got the imagination necessary to consider the plight of us folks who just cannot grab a hold of something like a piece of hair! It's a small thing but, just like how you remember the blessed sweetness of the water once the well's run dry... Oh yeah, that's right, YOU CAN'T REMEMBER!

DISCLAIMER: I haven't found it necessary to enter into an unnatural relationship with my dog!!

This stuff some you guys think of... you ought to be ashamed!

... And it's kind of funny story about that dog. He's not technically a therapy dog but his life began in the hospital with me after my injury. As soon as we figured out a way for me to communicate while being on a respirator, my girlfriend, (Little Miss Wonderful) lived in the hospital room with me and asked me, "can we get a dog?".

I figured, there's no way in the world they are going to let a dog live in here with us in a hospital room, right? I mean, they just won't. So I indicated to her, "sure, we can get a dog, just make sure it's okay with the nursing staff...". I figured, I'd be the good guy here -- let them tell her "no".

Well, you know what they said, and the next thing you know, she comes in with this little ball of fur. She paid for a Pomeranian. As a matter of fact, for another hundred dollars, she could have supposedly gotten pedigree papers.

Thank God, some sheltie got in there somehow and we have a mixed breed. He's not a yapper, which I could've been okay with. He grew up in the institution. "Went" on the floor one time. Never had to speak to him again. He thinks he's a human. One day we sat him down with us for dinner. Any dog I've ever known would have gobbled up the steak tips after knocking the whole plate on the floor if given an opportunity like this:

Little_Last_Supper.JPG

The idea of sitting with humans and eating... he was flummoxed! He's a very cat-like dog, if that makes any sense. He would not eat at the table with us. Instead, he would carry his food into his favored siblings room (my youngest stepdaughter), and, if we'd leave him alone, quietly eat.

The bubblegum idea and TOFFEE! That's a great idea! And it will work. Thank you.

WHY DID MY POST GET MOVED??

It was a fun little thing we had going on and then, poof, it was gone.
Move to an adaptive equipment/clothing and tips?? Come on! I don't get it. The discussion was a nice one about animals and how cute they are and stuff -- GEN.



Anyway, I'm bumming. I don't like that my post got kidnapped. I see no indication of it -- I look in the forum cleanup post, NOTHING.
The only way I found this was because I had a link to it in an e-mail I sent to some body you wanted to know about our dog rascal.

Yeah yeah all just berate their canny
