Ok - how the hell do i get it off?!!!

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

I'm going to kill that hairy beast of mine!
After he was so well behaved this weekend I thought he deserved a treat so i gave him a lovely bath with his new cheap shampoo, groomed him and bought him a big lickit.
Put said lickit in his lickit holder, gave him carrots with his tea and generally spoilt him.
Ha! Won't be doing that again.
The little git has managed to get his lickit out of the lickit holder, squash it to a long flat lump and lie on it............
His feathers, knees, face and stomach are covered in molasses. Its in his ears, his whiskers, his face hair, his eyelashes, his beautiful white feathers - i could cry.
Any ideas of how the hell i get it off when i get back home?
I'm praying it rains heavily between now and thursday and washes it off for me!
Needless to say he thinks its hilarious.....

Nice one Hovis! That'll teach Mummy to bring in the Army Man!!!!!

I'll try and think of something when I pick myself up from under my desk where boss can't see me crying laughing.... Hairy Beast you are a legend in you're own lifetime!

 

[S14Tobin]

Actually - put him in a field with a load of bullocks - they'll surround him and lick it off

ROFPMSL

 

[chunklovescooks]

pressure wash? the farm has one that heats water into steam.. that would take everything off him though, not just the molasses

 

[Kayfm]

Revenge at last !!!!!!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

You lot are so not helpful!!!

The revenge was him standing on my foot on friday - the bruise is enormous!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Turn him out and let the others lick him to death!!!

 

[milliepops]

LOL !

If it were me I'd clip it off!

 

[camilla4]

He'll soon regret it when the wasps smell him!! Poor you - he really sounds like such a character though..

 

[CeeBee]

I can sympathise with you! My boy is on box rest, so gave him one of those ones in a tub. He sooo loves to lick everything, so I thought what a lovely gift for him.
After less than one hour with it, I found it totally destroyed in the back of the stable all over his mouth and feet. He used it as a football! He then dropped it in poo and pooed on it!
As I bed on hemcore, it was also covered in that. So have retrieved said gift and will stick to swede on a bit of baler twine!

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

Heeheee! =)

That will teach you to give him a bath! Poor boy all that nasty cold water and gilry smelling shampoo!

To get it off :methylated spirits (perhaps not near his eyes..) or as suggested loan turn him out to be used as a licking block =)

 

[Pinkwellies2]

Its obviously a ploy to get all the girls drooling over him, a sort of lynx bodyspray for horses

 

[meandmyself]

I think buckets of hot soapy water and lots of them are your best bet!

 

[joeanne]

Oh Hovis, what a way to extract your revenge.......but now, tell me, what colour was it? *chuckles hoping it was blue*

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

its thick dark brown molasses. Very thick dark brown molasses........

 

[MyBoyChe]

OK, confess! Who suggested to Hovis that getting covered in molassess would get him off Army club!!! Sorry, no practical help but love the idea of the field of bullocks!!

 

[NeilM]

Harry says" Hovis, RESPECT brother. I have been advocating violence toward the dreaded Army Man (which we all know never really works). Your solution is sheer genius"

 

[Lanky Loll]

love em / shoot em sometimes it's a toss up!

 

[S14Tobin]

Nope, I still think the bullocks... just think of how his little knees will knock as they surround him with those scary scary tongues... then watch in amazement as Hovis tries to stick his tongue up his own nose and goes cross-eyed for days afterwards... teehee sod Army Man - try Bullock-power! Failing that, stand him in yr garden, all the flies etc will stick to him and avoid your G&T - large flytrap! result!
