The bath

The dog’s shedding.

For the past few days I’ve found little tumble-weeds of dog hair all over the apartment. I expected that cacti and cowboy shootouts to materialize any moment…

When I got home today there was a little mound of hair near Harley’s kennel and I had had it.

I looked at the dog and informed him it was on.

So a few minutes later I was wrestling a 100lb dog into the bathtub…and Harley got his first-ever bath.

So yeah. He was not thrilled.

But I’m glad I did it because:

I know. Ew.

But better in the tub than all over the apartment!

    Aw, he took it like a champ! I’m not sure what the going rate is in Minneapolis, but in Indianapolis my sister can get her dog bathed (plus nails trimmed and ears cleaned!) for only $20 at PetCo! (Or PetSmart, one of those). Apparently her dog smelled like a peppermint after he experience, and she highly recommends it!

    One of my pooches is going through a shedding phase right now. He’s got skin issues and keeps pulling tufts of hair out. Not conducive to a clean house for sure. Good thing he’s got loads of personality to make up for it.

      I’m going to do the brush thing tonight! We’ll see how it goes! Milo is cute!

      And I don’t know how I feel about the peppermint-smelling dog… peppermints always remind me of the toy cack video (the granny always says: “Today is a day for peppermints!”)
