Let's call this a thought experiment, shall we?

1) Your life contains:

a) a corgi.

b) a sofa.

c) a wool blanket.

d) a half pound of butter.

e) some cotton underpants.

2) Via a brief and apparently largely harmless stay in the front half of the corgi, the bulk of the butter has been transferred from a plate on the table to the above.

3) You would like to remove the second-hand butter from the above items. Hot water and detergent have made no impression, nor has trying to scrape it off manually, as it just sinks into the fabric.

4) So. Now what?

I agree with Sara's regimen, although I might throw away the corgi myself.

If you could get to the underside of the sofa fabric, I'd recommend baby shampoo, which is excellent at getting grease stains out of organic fibers, but as is, call in the experts.

Well, this is Canada in November we're talking about; shaving the corgi may eliminate the corgi issue entirely.



(I am JOKING. I would never throw a shaven doggie out into a Canadian winter. I would put it in a really really ugly doggie sweater thingy so all the other doggies would laugh at it when it went out for a piddle, instead.)

Made of the itchiest acrylic/wool blend you could find in a novelty yarn WITH SPARKLES.

Wow, I can already hear the mournful howls echoing across the frozen northlands.

...that's not the butt, Marna. That's the head.

I think all the deviant sexin has confused your understanding of canine anatomy.

No, the head is the bit with the brain in it. I am very clear on this.
