The damn Fiskers! The one thing that’s worth a crap or won’t heal eventually. Damn!
Although, I’m somewhat happy that I can snap scissor handles with my hands. Well, it was the right hand. That might have something to do with it. Somehow managed to avoid bloodletting. So there is that.
I fortend a future thread: Super Glue ain’t nearly as Super as it once was
Dog Bone? Not real bone I’m guessing. Nylabone or rawhide bone? That’s why they make reciprocating saws!
Where are your kitchen shears? Why are you risking your GOOD scissors when you have something that could cut through a chair leg with no problem?
Super glue never was super. Get yourself some Gorilla Glue and put it on the shelf next to your duct tape and WD-40. You can thank me later.
See my recent thread about GG… (I can’t link. I’m search impotent since the change)
And I don’t have a shelf for WD and Duct tape. The Lubricants are in a three-tier cabinet, and tapes all have a sepreate drawer in the ‘Big Chest’. Mainly catagorized by stickyness and permanence. I throw the pipe tape in there (both white and yellow) because they have ‘tape’ in the name. But we know better, don’t we?
Yeah. Real Bone. Some kind of T-Bone or something I had left over from the aborted BBQ. When you got 5 dogs, you gotta try to cut it up at least into half, and let them ‘Lord Of The Flies’ over it. It sorts itself out.
They are all to bed, reasonably content.
Zo… This is all a breadcrumb trail.
What, you don’t have a bone saw?
Use a hacksaw. I give our dogs pig ears that are huge. I cut each into 3 pieces, using a hacksaw and it works beautifully. When I help a friend butcher lambs, we use a stainless steel hacksaw type tool (as well as a bandsaw).
Thread title seemed to show that some amateur at-home veterinarian surgery went horribly wrong.
Oh, God, this is so much better than my initial reaction to the thread title.
I was envisioning Gatopescado performing some sort of rapid emergency amputation on their dog.
I’m overly dramatic. So sue me.
I’m gonna go all JB Weld on those scissors today I think… They got this little groove in them. Perfect for reinforcing with a stiff piece of wire, I think.

My favorite Fiskars. (for trimming plant material) 
That’s exactly what I thought. I envisioned someone holding down the dog after giving it a shot of whiskey.
Yes, thought this was going to end with, “a dog walked into a saloon and said, ‘I’m looking for the man who shot my paw…”
I’ve got a set of those. Very sharp and good for fine work too. But not for bones!
Should we be worried about a guy named Gato who attacks dogs with scissors? I know they’re famously not supposed to get along that well, but really now; that seems a bit much. 
That is Gatopescado. Totally different animal.
Had exactly the same reaction. “Oh, a ‘dog bone’ as in a dried bone for a dog to eat. Whew.”
Is ‘Dog Bone’ really that big a confusion?
Now, 'Dog Skull", that’s another thing…
Duct tape is awful, and so is WD-40.
If you want to actually seal a duct, get foil tape with acrylic adhesive. The adhesive doesn’t creep over time, and it doesn’t dry out or leave gummy residue behind when you peel it off.
If you want to lubricate something, get an old-school bottle of machine oil and a can of Tri-Flo. The oil is good for oilite motor bushings, and the Tri-Flo is good for things like bicycle chains.
If you want to dissolve adhesive, use Goo-Gone.
Quite right. However the joke doesn’t work when I include that part. A catfish is not a cat with a fish. Nor a fish with a cat. Nor even a dog with a bone.
Now that it’s morning, maybe you can share with us why you wanted to cut a bone for your dog in the first place and why you’d think to do it with scissors.
IANA pet owner, but I always figured they could work the bone themselves well enough. ISTM cutting it just invites dangerous sharp edges.
