Ahh yes, my Isaac gets them. When they are left around the house I refer to it as finding Presents from Isaac. 2 presents in 2 weeks = time for a trip to the vet to get a sanitary shave.

Kricket gets dingleberries every once in a while. When she donated blood last time I took advantage of her being under drugs. I took those clippers and shaved her hind end bald. The hubby and I called her baboon butt after that but she does not like her "feathers" being brushed at all. She is very sensitive on her hind end and its trouble some getting her dingleberries out. Thank god for the shave job I gave her.

We also that the "dingleberry" issue too. Jasmine gets them pretty often and does NOT like to be touched near that area at all. She does this crazy wiggle thing and manages to hide herself for hours in spots I still can't locate.

Sorry, but when I saw the term 'baboon butt' I had to laugh!
And I have to admit to the rest of you guys, I've never heard of dingleberries before but I guess it's worth keeping my eyes peeled in case any of my kits get them...

It sounds funny, but that is exactly what it looks like. I totally know what you mean.
When Isaac gets a good sanitary shave he too looks like he has a baboon butt!

Sophie gets dingleberries too on her bloomers and in her tail.

Frisky gets poopy foot. I don't know how he does it but sometimes he manages to step in his poop while he is burying it and gets a tootsie roll stuck to his foot and then walks all over the house with it until I notice the poopie tracks. Just this morning I walked around with cleaner and a rag cleaning poopie tracks before I left for work. The fun part of the whole process is chasing him down with a rag to get the darn thing off his foot so he wont track anymore around the house he thinks we are playing chase.

Chynna gets them occasionally. She often uses the litter pan while I'm in the bathroom, so if I see her leave the box with one clinging to her butt, I chase her around the house with some tissue and remove it. LOL If I don't catch her I often find it on the area rug in the living room.

Yes it looks like a piece of tootsie roll candy stuck to his foot. When he does it just right it even kinda makes a U shape around his paw and he just walks around like he doesn't even notice this big piece of poop is stuck to the bottom of his paw.

Actually they will but not without some screaming and possible biting.

As in, " she has a dingleberrie in her bloomers".


Tonka gets them occasionally but we call them klingons
