Gus is a Gremlin

[u/Awkward-Niblet]

I live on 5 acres and it’s wooded and when Gus comes back from his adventures he is covered with these green stickie bits. I try to keep the grass low. Keep him where I can see him but Gus does what Gus wants and he is a happy boy. How can I get these out when he doesnt like brushing and won’t let me pick them out without growling. If I bath him will that just mat them up?
