I was being very careful, but still cut open the sack and got a straight dose of that stuff on my brother and me! LOL Okay, I wasn't laughing at the time, I suppose, but I can laugh about it now. You should have seen the look on my mom's face when I explained to her how this had come about. She might have been thinking that she wished she had all daughters!!! My one sister was a tom boy, but that might have been different if she had 3 sisters instead of 3 brothers. Anyway, mom had all kinds of suggestions from friends, including tomato juice, toothpaste, and only God knows what else. I can assure you that none of these helped in any significant way and mom would not even let us go to Mass two days later! I better tell my 10 year old boy this story before he comes up with the same stupid idea some day.

The only thing I know of that would probably work would probably make your dog look pretty funny - bleach. I learned from a county fair manager that was the best way of getting the smell of pigs off of me after helping load some up.

Good luck!
