    Ewww. I have gotten those kind of surprises too, with my cats. They have given up on rats because they have gotten very sick from eating them, but birds seem to be fair game. And like what Hope did, it always seems the head and legs are left. I guess the middle parts are juicy. Now, that is a great way to get your Hope used to having her teeth brushed. :) Just leave a few tooth brushes out around the house. By the time you really want to get into a teeth cleaning routine, she will love it!

    @wizard: 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. Good call, I use Witch Hazel on the kids when they scratch eachother up while playing. 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. :)

    I also find Shadow Hummph's when he is picked up-but he does want to be picked up and cuddled. I'll say uppies(yeah, I know) and if he wants up he'll walk right into my arms but still Hummph. The girls don't make a sound at all.
