I just brushed the pup*. It's been a couple of weeks since I was able to sit down and brush her, and she was pretty tangled and matted.
Of course, it never helps that always she flips, flops, and squirms like a landed fish the entire time I try to brush her...and whining. And trying to grab the brush out of my hand. And snapping at the brush while half whining/half growling when I hit a tangle on her flank. Tonight was no different from usual.
Now that it's done, though, she's one of the prettiest little shaggy doggies I've ever seen.
We're going to bathe her next week--in the sink if we get the counter top cut correctly, delivered, and installed, in the hall bath tub immediately followed by a thorough cleaning, if not--then take her for a haircut.
I'll post pictures of her before and after her haircut. Anybody want a picture of a thoroughly wet and miserable Scotty, too?
*I'm gonna have to quit calling her a pup soon--her first birthday is July 19.

My little baby boy had his sixth birthday last Feb, He may be a grown up boy, but he'll be Daddy's Baby until he or I croak.
ReplyDeleteEnglish Shepherd. Medium length hair. I tell him "Let me see." and he will stand to be poked prodded, brushed, have ticks pulled, have his ears cleaned, whatever we have to do.
I would almost feel pity for the fool that threatened my bride. Pupper would eat him alive.
Every night he goes out for a walkabout the sheep pen. If a coyote is too close Pupper will tell them off in clear and certain terms. Ote's keep their distance.
S'OK, she will be your baby pup as long as she lives. Not a thing in the world wrong with that.

Yep. She's one of the sweetest and smartest dogs I've ever had. As well as one of the two I've had with such diabolical senses of humor.
