In addition to her daily pond swims, Booger gets a bath at least twice a week during nice weather. Contrary to her innocent appearance, she is a very doggish dog who loves to do doggish dog things. One of her favorites is sneaking out to the barn and rolling in a heap of fresh horse sh*t. Have you ever seen a green dog? I have. lol
She's not crazy about being brushed but she will tolerate it pretty well for me. Mrs. Augie is too rough and makes her yip just about every time.
I do like Howard's short coat when it comes to grooming time, because there is NO grooming time. What few burs stick to him he gets rid of himself. I haven't felt the need to give him a bath since he showed up. He doesn't stink and he lives outdoors, so why bother?
If/when he gets to spend more time indoors I expect that I'll have to rethink the whole no-bathing thing.
It’s kinda weird, but I’m REALLY looking forward to having all the assorted MUTTS home this evening! I can’t wait to see my ‘Blackfoot’ Baby Girl!
My Beagle, Dolly, (indoor/outdoor) gets hosed down from time to time when she’s ‘green’ and she will tolerate a brushing (on the porch) from time to time, but other than that she’s pretty low maintenance.
When I lose her, (she’s 15, but in very good health!) I’m hoping for a big enough TIME GAP in my life that allows me to be House-Dog-Less and finally be GOOD with it.
BUT - it hasn’t happened, yet! Some dog or cat always shows up in my life that needs a home and some love. ;)
