What Did You Say?

Here is the gallery.

Charlotte says - what the hey is this snow about? The snowballs stuck on them is unreal. Isn't Charlotte just adorable? She is getting used to me combing her out daily. 

Maui just left and I will tell you, he is a crazy dawg! Dennis shovels paths and he says - nah let's jump in the snow 15 min before humans pick me up so they can wait till my snowballs are taken out and dried. Good old Maui. He so makes me laugh. Polo also is the same. Dennis has been helping me take snowballs out and he goes - THAT'S IT - no more outdoors. I can't do this. I so laugh. Till he started helping me, he didn't realize how bad it is. I need warm hair blowers. Think I am actually going to dig out my high velocity dryer to see if I can blow out the moisture out of them. We shall see.

They are having fun. It's just Dennis and I that are not. You can only groom so much and it has been continual. Will it get colder, please? This way the snow will not stick to them.

Ms Mia departed too and she was upset as she likes a spot that she likes and no where else to sleep at night. I laugh as we are creatures of habit. 

Oh well fun for dawgs...

Now to cut this short as we have another puppy departing.

Charlotte is adorable!
If the snowballs are massive I just plunk mine in the laundry sink and hose legs down with warm water, mine know the routine, Leo's are HUGE sometimes! I do brush them out this grooming spray and maybe a little drying too.

Oh my heart! Hello sweetness!

What a sweetie !
I saw someone on Facebook taking snowballs off their dog's legs using a wire whisk from the kitchen. They just rans the whisk up and down the legs quickly and the snowballs broke up and fell off. I haven't tried it but it worked in the video ! Worth a try !

A grooming rake does the same but they remain saturated so you must dry.
