Oh my god! I have such a funny story about my pug’s nipples!

One of the first times my Oma dog-sat Cubbie for me (back when he was a pup) she thought he had “sores” on his belly. She read somewhere (probably in Ladies Home Journal) that Listerine helps heal sores, so she started dabbing Listerine on Q-tips and rubbing them all over Cubbies nipples.

When I got back into town and swung by her place to pick him up, she said: “Cubbie’s got dees little sores on his belly, but I’ve been cleaning them with Listerine.”

“Listerine?! Where the hell did you read that? And sores? He has sores on his belly?”

“Yaw. Look here and here,” she said, pointing to two black nipples.

“Oma, those are his NIPS!”

She was so embarrassed. It was so cute.

This was a good laugh! (Sorry) I wished we lived closer so I could be a little more helpful. This sort of speaks to having your first dog. Just a good "rule of thumb" - they are not too different from humans.I do applaud you for not taking any chances. I would have done the same thing because they are just too precious to us.

[...] Tabitha of From Single To Married wrote a post that has nothing to do with personal finance. That’s fine with me, because she makes me laugh audibly when I’m reading, which aside from Dave Barry, is next to impossible. Check out her story about finding something on her dog after he got a hair cut. [...]

I wondered the same thing when I found out my male cat has nipples. Two wouldn’t surprise me; but, to this day I still wonder, why six?

To answer your other question… I do take my cat to the vet at the first sign of trouble – but I don’t run him into the vet excessively because I worry about Bing catching something there. It’s just something I worry about after working at an animal shelter when I was a teenager.

Glad to know Oscar is okay!

That is funny! I had no idea about the boy nipples, but it makes perfect sense. I just have never thought about it. All the dogs I have had have been hairy on their chest/stomach or I have never really looked. You do learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing.
