Stormy   Big Fish Posts: 357 Kudos: 606 Votes: 81 Registered: 13-Mar-2004   | Try rubbing some powdered hot pepper on it. It has worked for me in the past. Also, there are some products on the market to help... one is bitter apple. You can get it at pet stores, and the point is it tastes so bad that they don't want to bite at it. It worked when my cat kept chewing through my computer wires. Good luck!  |

A couple of squirts of water mixed with blended habenero peppers cured that. The animal should by smell stay away. If the puppy is stupid enough to lick it just give him milk to drink. The milk nuetralizes the peppers faster than any other known source. That is why the guys in those champion hot pepper eating contests drink milk  Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn. |
