Ease of Grooming

I find 4 adult pups a breeze to room even to line comb. I think the more you do, the faster you get and the better you get. So don't give up if you are frustrated as it really does come.
Today we finally got our teak furniture in and room made for it to come in. Talk about doing things late.
The dawgs adore the snow and Kat is now sleeping up against me as if I am a second skin. We have had way too many changes and the dawgs are feeling it as if they are worried they will go and won't come back too. <sigh> I wish you could tell the dawgs things in a way that they would understand the changes.
They moped around after we lost Whitney and as our dawgs were placed other places, they are rather off kilter and I 'get' that. So am I if off kilter means down right sad. But we are pleased to hear the stories.
We love the dawgs so. Something special about unconditional love from a dawg, don't you think?
Have any of you experienced the wet snowballs that appear on their tummies from a walk?

We have had those snowballs with Max as well. I thought it would be easier to give him a bath rather than picking out the snowballs. I do have a question about the grooming as well. Even though I keep telling Max that the brush and comb are not toys he is really hard to groom. He especially can't stand when you try to do his back end - Any helpful hints?
Use a table. With his feet on the table, pick up his back end so it's in the air and groom. He can't move that way and it will give you access.
With snownalls you can rinse, you can use a brush but you must comb or you will get knots. Silicone spray cuts down on snowballs sticking but so does wearing a coat with a tummy covering.
