HELP - I have a blue dog!

[Christine & Camus]

Camus got hold of a blue gel ink pen and within no time he had blue ink all over his face, tongue, paws. I called his vet and they said not to worry as long as he had not ingested any of the pen. He did not, but now how do I clean him up? Any suggestions?

This made my morning!  My childhood dog was an extremely naughty boxer.  He was often spiteful when my parents would leave him home alone, so one day when they returned home, they found him looking very much like Camus.  He had gotten into blue paint and had blue jowls for a few days after.  lol I wish I had pictures of our naughty blue Mugsy.  Unfortunately, I have no idea how they got the paint off....

Christine, I have used hairspray to remove ink from a favorite blouse. Maybe you can pump a little on a rag and see if it will remove, I wouldn't spray directly on him cause if it didn't work you would have a "punk" doodle with sticky outy hair - ha ha

He is obviously so sorry, even though Smurf Doodle is very very adorable I can see why you want it off.

Good Luck!

Oh Christine...

Those Doods can get into everything...can't they??

I'm glad that Camus is fine...and the ink with eventually fade away...

He does look adorable with his cute blue face though...Lol...

I hope "something" works...with all of the advice you got!

I would have suggested the hairspray or the gentle soap detergent...or maybe the baby wipes!

The Blue Man Group Doodle Mascot...was the first things that came to my mind...(smile)

After reading all of the posts...I see that we are all on the same page...

Just a bunch of Very Helpful...Creative...Doodle and People Lovers!!

Good Luck...

Milk works great for getting regular ink out of fabric so you could try that. I actually saved DH white shirt once from a 2 inch blue ink spot. It would be worth a try

UPDATE....  First, I love all of your posts.  I just keep laughing.  Camus is now clean, almost, he just has a couple of blue spots that are not too noticeable.  Dish soap worked beautifully, followed with puppy wipes and then a good rinsing.  He was losing patience with my fussing over him so the little bit left will have to wear off or wait until bath time.  The hair spray idea is an interesting one, because I met a woman sometime ago that mentioned how much of her dog's hair she wore.  I suggested that if she was having friends over or some special occasion she could spray him with hair spray.  Of course, I was kidding and this was pre-Camus, the super-shedder.  Now I am rethinking... Again, thanks for all of the suggestions and the many laughs.

Glad to hear your "blues" are gone for now!. Gonna go hide all my pens!

Yay!!  I am glad u got most of it out... even though he did look adorable.  If it did get on any carpet you may want to try the rubbing alcohol, hairspray only made my carpet stiff and then I had to clean that out... hee hee!
