I had a pen disaster yesterday. A pen leaked and the ink got all over me, my white sweater, my white desk, my pen holder and as I just noticed the next day, my cockatiels feet. Boo must have stepped in the ink yesterday when I wasn't looking and proceeded to leave little spotted prints all over my desk. Looking at the bottoms of his feet, he has some little dried blue spots. He hates his feet being touched (since it usually means toe nail clipping time) but I am concerned about the ink soaking into his skin. The pen was a colorful bright blue one from the Dollar Tree (I've used these many times before and they've never leaked until now). The ink isn't permanent but as it stands, I wasn't able to get it out of my sweater or the pen holder, and there is still a little staining on my skin. This ink is tougher than I thought and I don't want to hurt Boo by roughly scrubbing his little feet. But at the same time, I don't want to harm him by leaving it. He isn't that into baths, especially this time of year when it is so cold, so washing it off that way isn't really an option. I could try wiping it off with a wet rag but I'm unsure of how much that will really help with this tough ink. Any ideas? I really appreciate any response. The brand of pen is Promarx - TC Ball.
