Tar Removal Update
I recently asked listmembers 'how do I remove tar from Westie carpet and dog
feet?'

The replies poured in suggesting everything from Goo Gone to hand grenades. 
Well I have good news and bad news: 

The Good News:  WD-40 works like a dream for removing tar from carpet.  (Thanks
to all who replied directly to me as I'm still off list).

The Bad News:  Murphy the dog is now tractionally challenged...

P.S.  No animals were harmed during tar removal or composition of this message
P.S.S.  I actually used Vegetable Oil on the dog's feet- I figured it would be
less caustic than WD-40.
