I STILL Dispair!

People continue to baffle me.....

A lady just came in for some treats for her 10 week old puppy.
She then said she had bought some wipes to use on it's paws when it had been out, and she asked if they were ok to use.
I said "Wipes?", and out of her bag she got some antibacterial kitchen wipes!!!
I said "err, no"
She said "My sister always uses wipes"
I said "Baby wipes maybe, but not antibacterial kitchen wipes. They are full of chemicals, you wouldn't clean yourself with them would you!"

"Ohh, I'll take them back"

Then she said "Is dettol ok?"

I said "Again, if you wouldn't clean yourself with it, don't clean your dogs paws with it"

ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

The poor puppy, has she actually used any on it before she asked you for your advice?

i don`t understand - why was the puppy in need of anti-bacterial paw-cleaning stuff anyway? Does she do her shoes as well?

why would she need to clean the dogs paws?

whats wrong with a towel!!

OCD alert!

thats what i was thinking!! some people!!
Think thats why my children are so healthy as they've always shared the floor with the dogs. I think you can be too sterile!

Does she carry a toilet roll to wipe it's bottom after it's been the loo then? She's not going to expect it to sit on the toilet is she?

Oh dear...poor puppy.I wouldn't be suprised if it ends up in rescue when it starts leaving hair on the carpet etc

thats what i was thinking or keeps putting muddy paws on the cream sofa

OMG!!!!!!!!

There really ought to be some 'Idiot-proof' doggy-bible dispensed to all new dog owners!!!!

That's all well and good but if you get someone like my husband, he only reads the destructions once he's broken the thing he's trying to use.
