Whitening....
-d  |

|
| There are lots of good whitening products out there. One important thing is to wash and dry frequently. No matter what product you use! |
| [quote="beachwoman"]Was just wondering....does anyone have any suggestions on a shampoo or other trick that will brighten up the white areas on sheepies? -d :wag:[/quote]I used EZ Groom Crystal White Shampoo. Heat about 1 cup in the microwave for about 90 seconds. Dilute with 2 gallon of water. Follow directions on bottle. Shampoo is harsh so I wash dog once, rinse out, wash again, apply conditioner while dog still has shampoo in coat, let stand for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. |

Shampoo is harsh so I wash dog once, rinse out, wash again, apply conditioner while dog still has shampoo in coat, let stand for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. I do this without the dilution. Just did it today. Works great. I keep washing till I get those bright whites, so I'll do another round tomorrow because I'm trying to remove chin stains. You want an enzymatic shampoo, not a bluing shampoo. |
Like this ?????? On beard of a 13 year old, etc????? One day I might devulge the family secret   |
 <swoon> How the heck do you do that???????? |
| PM me. Share. I'll never tell. I swear! Your secret will die with me....omg, I wanna know how you do that!!! |

Went back to find the PM and pfft, gone! It's an evil conspiracy, i tell you... Speaking of, evil, maybe not conspiracy, does anyone know how to remove black ink from formerly white puppy legs?  Kristine |
| Kristine... Ah, so the really great secrets are written in disappearing ink, eh? Lol one can only imagine how the black ink got on those white legs!! I haven't tried it on fur, but those Tide spot sticks work great. Or how about an enzymatic cleaner, like Nature's Miracle? Rubbing alcohol? I spilled some red crystal light on white fur, show side of course, the day before a dog show. I used enzymatic shampoo (multiple washings) and some Chris Christensen white color sticks. And i switched to Pelligrino! It's a pity the pup with the black ink stains wasn't using the disappearing ink, too! |
QuailTrail wrote: It's a pity the pup with the black ink stains wasn't using the disappearing ink, too! No kidding! Will try some of your suggestions. She's not entered anywhere, so no pressure there, but still! Kristine |
| Old fashion aerosol hair spray will take ink off of most anything. Spray the inked area and blot. Keep repeating (and it may be a long process!) until the ink is removed. If the puppy is sound reactive to the spray can soak a rag with the hair spray away from the puppy and then blot the area. This will take longer, but will still work. I have no idea what this will do to the puppy's fur texture, but it should remove the ink! After getting the ink out I would suggest a good bath. I can't imagine licking a hair sprayed area would be good! Kathie |

Spray it on pretty heavily, let it set a minute & rinse with lots of cold water. |
Milk also takes ink stains out of fabric. Just dip it and keep rubbing. It MIGHT work on the puppy legs. and not as toxic as hairspray. How did the little angel get into the ink?  |

The little "angel's" owner was not vigilant. And it's not like it's the first time. She has a pen fetish. I usually catch her before she can do damage, but not this time KB |
| I have to use medicated shampoo on Miss Ellie. It doesn't have a whitening option so I mix Mrs.Wrights blueing into the shampoo. Works like a charm. Just need to rember to shake vigorously with each application. |
| The part of hairspray that removes ink is the alcohol. I'd use just the alcohol, it won't be any more drying than hairspray and much less of a sticky mess. Alcohol,rub, rinse, lather with shampoo, rinse....repeat until gone. Worked for me, more than once. Of course this probably won't work on a pen like sharpies, but ball point ink for sure. I would deep condition the area after the ink is out if you are worried about the drying. Shellie |

Makes me want to dig through Kristine's garbage and try to find it!  (No, really! )She's a true beauty, Lisa.  While I don't have any inky dogs, please let us know if the ink removal methods work!  |
Lisa I will give you my Samsung S3  also Colin and Pauline said Hi |
Hi Donna! I have stuff to try that I can give you when you come for your visit! The best trick I heard is using some corn starch and combing out the "beard" area...Looking forward to meeting you and Bode, hopefully next weekend!  |
 We are way beyond self wash and cornstarch!!!C'mon Lisa, I'm a newb. Lol and I don't show in Oz! Jaci, okay, I'll get gloves and some tongs and we'll go dumpster diving at Kristine's! Btw, have we always had this smiley  or did I just notice it? |
QuailTrail wrote: Btw, have we always had this smiley or did I just notice it? It's been around for a while. I don't know about dumpster diving as the information existed only in cyberspace. Tongs probably not necessary. Kristine |
| Nah, Lisa can't divulge it... something that good is like a trade secret. And probably for the best that it was in e-format. The truck would probably pick up Kristine's garbage while you and I were in it and we'd become part of her local landfill... |
I was contemplating sending her pictures of the horrors in question and seeing if I could somehow get her to take pity on me that way  - my god, I have never had dogs with such horridly dirty faces! May need it to clean the two of you off after I drag you out of the landfill as well... Kristine |
6Girls wrote: Nah, Lisa can't divulge it... something that good is like a trade secret. And probably for the best that it was in e-format. Well, yes, as I recall there may have been some "upon penalty of death" attached to it. I have a theory that the PM was set to self-destruct. It was only shared under the most dire of circumstances, truly a Mission Impossible situation That said, the trade mark comment made me think: strip it down, repackage it and sell it for big bucks! No one will know exactly what it is, sheepdogs would longer have to walk around looking like they snort muck, and she can make big bucks! OK, one filthy puppy bathed. Off to attack the ink stained one....I've tried all of the usual remedies that have worked for me in the past on the beards and they honestly seem not to make a dent. Kristine |

Actually, I think she was being rather lenient in looking at those results. Mad Dog wrote: That said, the trade mark comment made me think: strip it down, repackage it and sell it for big bucks!

Can I be your distribution rep over here, Lisa? |
 OK since my two newest sheepies have tails, here is the info.....................................Many centuries ago at the foot of the Himalayians, in a monestry, one monk stumbled across secret herbs and spices growing in the valley crevices. Picked as the moon rises over the peak of Everest by a virgin, then taken to the monestry and ground in a motar and pessel  , added to that a special pure spring water from the foothills of the himalayas, to make a paste, then blessed by the monks themselves for it's purity, special essences, nature at its best before being passed on in a golden pot ready to apply to a sheepies beard, to preform miracles of miraculous feats.  See owning sheepies with tails, now, we had to tell a good "Tall Tale (Tail)" on a generational family secret, or death by very painfull means  Oh and Syd says if you ever are blessed and get the secret and market it, should be called "Goobies-Be-Gone", as my ma says on a regular basis, oooh your face is looking a bit goobie, time for a treatment, yep she is a goobie be gone queen and a pain in the butt for us sheepie kids |

My brother is gonna get it!) lisaoes wrote: Oh and Syd says if you ever are blessed and get the secret and market it, should be called "Goobies-Be-Gone" 8. And it shall be called Goobies-Be-Gone!

C'mon Lisa...puhleeeeeeease! |
| Jaci.... If the popcorn paste and the monk and rose petals doesn't work, we are going to have to go into Ninja training and find a brilliant hacker to stealthily cruise through Kristine's DM box....I think she really has it still and is tying to throw us off the trail!!!! Oh Ron-a-kins.......  PS I hope this means I will still get to torture my brother. He needs it! |
| OMG!!!!!!!!! You two slay me!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great Monday morning laugh Kristine |
| I'm worried that Lisa might have purposely left out a key ingredient just to confuse us. Maybe we should just cut to the chase and have the monks bless the hair white. Oh heck... back to plan A. Boosting you into the cyber dumpster with your tongs. |
| Do you think that substituting a Preist for a monk was the problem? I couldn't find a monk. And he did a general blessing and not a chin fur blessing. Is that where I went wrong? But I stood in the background and chanted "Goobies-Be-Gone, Goobies-Be-Gone, Goobies-Be-Gone" but she still has yellow chin fur! (sniffle, sniffle, sob!) I'm up for crashing Kristine's dumpster. Unless of course Lisa will take pity on me. Did I mention we are competing in a much needed major next week against 35 year veterans!!!!! I'm gonna be toast....unless of course Lisa and or Kristine heeeeeeeellllllllllllppp! |
| Ya forgot the full moon beams and the Virgin !!! Just a tease WARNING ............ .............. Sunglasses Needed to view this photo or it may cause damage to the retina ............................. ........ ........ ........ .............Have you put your eye protection on? ................ Here we go ...............................  Sheesh the "Goobies-Be-Gone" queen has been at me |

| That boy's eyes slay me. Oh! He's GORGEOUS!!!  |
| It's almost painful to see his beauty, that handsome blue eyed baby! Love Syd!! QuailTrail wrote: Do you think that substituting a Preist for a monk was the problem? I couldn't find a monk. That's GOT to have been the error... 1 priest must not = 1 monk See if you can find an online conversion guide!  Lisa, please take pity on us. IF the time ever comes you choose to gift the world with this secret, just don't send it to Kristine in an email.  |
| I think Lisa uses Deluxe White Paint |
We have been asked how do you keep Georgi so white. I would say we can keep about 98% but still not 100% round the face & still working on it. We have a good crash test dummy who we groom & always dirty but never use any thing to harsh on her. I have started to cut the really bad bits  ,which they need doing. So I have been doing my mad scientist testing & seeing how I can get the hair strands white  |
| Jaci, I tried the Monks. There were too darned busy with the German Shepards. And they wanted her chin fur to go darker not lighter! All they know is black and tan! I was out first thing this morning doing the enzyme treatment. I'll do that everyday until we leave for the show next week. I have to admit that I did send Lisa a DM and did more begging and sniveling. I didn't offer to trade the culinary skills of the Executive Chef, since I think he'd love Oz and not want to come back. Since he's the reason we live in the CA desert, if he gets to leave I'm going too! I wonder if Kristine really knows and just won't share with us! I'll send the chef to Wisconsin. He's an Albany, NY kid, no way is he going to do snow again! So Kristine... Dinner party of your dreams exchanged for the secret and highly guarded magic potion?! I'm out of ideas!  Lori, I'm showing Betsy... I can't take the scissors to her chin fur. I get into enough trouble doing the other ’hygenic' trims! Cheers! |
