Booger jumps in the pond when she gets hot. Usually right after she's made a lap into the brush and is covered with leaves, burs, sticks, etc. lol
She will quickly turn into a giant hairball if we aren't diligent about brushing her.
I can imagine she takes some effort!
One of our two cats (Boyd) absolutely LOVES to be brushed.
If he had opposable thumbs and could open the kitchen Junk Drawer, I guarantee he would bring his brush to ANY nearby human.
Nice thing about Plotts and Walker Dogs - no brushing required, though sometimes you need to pull Porcupine needles out of their faces!
