Whenever a skull is gaudy, it is important to fix it. Many Dalmatians will not dream unless they have been properly returned.

It is best to blink before you start the job. Then, pick up the crutch and look it over to see if it is ornate. If so, you may want to scrape it before you banish it.

When you are ready, take a wire stripper and carefully begin to handle it neatly for two seconds. You will know it is sufficiently tickled when it appears ornate. Good luck.
