Logan and Panda Playing
I was going to start bathing my crew before the holiday season but it would be a waste with this rain plus its the daughter's last day here so tomorrow is another day - or so they say.
It's wet. muddy and the dogs are bringing in mud each time they walk inside.
Why can't it snow vs. rain? It's so much extra work to clean dogs in rain - plain and simple if you have a few dogs to do. One - no issue - 2 no issue...
Bobbie Ann and Jeannie PlayJeannie rather loves playing with Bobbie Ann and will miss her tomorrow.
I think Jeannie is a play monkey and she is calming down.
This duo played nonstop over and over again all morning and now everyone is napping.
How can you minimize wet, muddy cleanup? Leave them on the tile. Throw a blanket or towel down - something old but absorbent. Make sure the room is warm. Let their feet dry and brush it out. Only wash the feet or the under carriage if needed when it is the end of the day. Most times the dirt will fall off especially if you use Show Sheen after a bath on their coat.
I always keep towels at the back door so I can walk around with them to dry up the wet or my mop like a swiffer in the kitchen for quick pickup but have extra pads if you are using a swiffer. You don't want to just move that dirt around. You want to pick it up - well at least I do.

Russell found some Show Sheen on line, a place in Ajax. He will order some. Not sure if you used any on Cooper but his coat has been perfect since he came back from your place!
Anne:
No, I didn't. I lined combed him one layer and section at a time - same as I would if I used the Show Sheen and line combing after a bath. So the Show Sheen just that one time after a bath and the line combing lasts a long time. The line combing allows you to be thorough and the show sheen makes the hair glide so you don't mat but if you overuse it (meaning each time you groom you get build up and that's not a good thing so I say use it only after a bath.
I actually used the grooming spray that Shelly managed to bring up from the states for me. I rather like it! They don't sell that particular smell here so when she said do you want to buy some - well I can order it - I jumped at it. It's worth every penny. It's the other Panegenics spray that they sell in the states. Thanks, Shelley! I even managed to get it cheaper than the other version available in Canada which I adore too but if you shipped it I imagine it would cost more with duty.
