Like dissolves like, so vegetable oil, baby oil, or peanut butter will all help to get it out. Then you can just wash with a good quality dog shampoo.

How funny that you say butter, when I was typing my list I almost put coconut oil which actually has about the same consistency as butter. Solid at room temp but melts easily at body temperature. I just figured that I am the only weirdo with a whole container of it in my garage.

Actually….I have some coconut oil too. Two giant jars. I cook with it alot. And regarding sappy stuff stuck in fur, this would be why Riley had a dime sized bald spot on his rump recently. I gave the sap about 10 days before deciding I would just try to pull it out in strips, and guess what the hair came too. I basically waxed Riley's bum. He was really good about it. It grew back in really fast. Next time I'll reach for my coconut oil ;)

Hadn't thought about it for cooking. It makes great soap which is why I have it, I do a soap making lab with my Chem kids.

Hmmm, I always use rubbing alcohol when mine get pitch-y. I put a little on a cosmetic pad {or swipe some alcohol wipes from my kids' Diabetes supplies}
and rub it off. They come clean and there's no oil left on the hair. -

I tried the vegetable oil, peanut butter, and butter but EL D managed to wiggle too much and lick everything off before I could work it into the pine pitch.
However, since I was out of rubbing alcohol, I used witch hazel instead and that really did the trick - and it must not have any odor 'cuz EL D didn't even pay attention to it. -

Both Zaire and Charlie don't seem to mind it. I have never had to try it on the roommates min-pin as Charlie and Zaire don't roughhouse with him as hard as they do with eachother. :)
