In which washing and de-floofing the floofs does not make them less floofy
They look just fine from a distance...
...but get a little closer (especially to Luna) and you can see stuff
 |
| Luna doesn't remember where she picked up all the stuff sticking to her fur. |
 |
| Shetland Sheepdog floof is very similar to wool: thick and warm and not always very clean. |
Moss, twigs, dirt. And worse.
 |
| I trim the hair from Luna's feet every month or so--it grows back fast! |
Luna's foot is floofy, even on the bottom.
 |
| Neatly trimmed now. This is not a show clip--it's just cut short to minimize the amount of stuff she tracks into the house. |
 |
| It's really too bad there's no market for floof-wool knitted sweaters and hats. |
One dog's worth of floof = almost enough spare floof to clothe an entire extra dog!
Next step:
 |
| Luna doesn't enjoy this part of her spa treatment |
 |
| Always a glamour girl |
 |
| We only own a blow-dryer because of the dogs. |
Look Ma!
We're still floofy!
Ha ha! I'd say they're even floofier! As mama to a sheltie, I know exactly what you mean. Most of the time, Eddie harbours a ton of sheltie floof and half a forest in his fur. As for fuzzy-feet, oh yes, I hear you.
ReplyDeleteThey're SO pretty, even when they're glaring at you. <3
ReplyDeleteMan, they are cute! I love the pic of Luna in the wash tub! She looks soooo impressed. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girls! I have quite a fondness for blue eyed dogs anyway, but those two look like models:)
