⭐ Kiki's Year Long 🌶️

[RUNuts]

I have a Yokie and a Maltipoo.
I have to groom them every other day or they get matted. Their hair is pretty short on their bodies so that makes it easy though.
I can't imagine having to do that with a big dog.

You will plan your vacations around it.

Or buy a good pair of clippers.

This is probably my favorite dog breed. They look similar to the Borzois. They are both sight hiunds and have a lot of similar traits in terms of personality and their body shape.
I'd love to get some in the future. Probably not until I have my own place though.

My springer gets 1/2 bottle of Pam if I hunt her before grooming (hair 2.5-3" long) I'd have to bring a case to cover whatever that that thing is.

The last half of this week have been stressful....
Hubby got his 2nd Covid shot on Thursday in his right shoulder. I got mine on Friday In my left shoulder. He didn’t react to the shot. But my shoulder swelled up.

We have been helping a neighbor who is recovering from shoulder surgery by feeding his cows and putting out hay for them. One of his cows birthed her calf this morning in 8 degree weather. She was not cooperative as we moved her to the barn with her calf but she settled down when she got some alfalfa.

The hubby slipped on the ice Friday stepping off the back porch. He landed on the shoulder where he got his shot...swelled up like a toad! He is better today.

We have spent the past several mornings prepping our pastures for the winter storm tomorrow by putting out extra hay. Our hay is net wrapped and with the past two days of freezing mist and snow flurries, removing the nets was a pain in the bumm. This morning hubby is in the tractor lifting and lowering the hay bales as I’m cutting the nets and pulling the nets from the bales of hay. Frozen cow piles are like big rocks. I stumbled over one, lost my balance and went down hard on my right shoulder. Now the swelling in both my shoulders looks the same. Tylenol and ice are my old friends.

You are a good human to brush them that often. You have my permission to have an Afghan.

Sounds like Mark & the Dawg might need hairless animals.

You guys cannot win!

Hope it mellows out and goes smooth for the next week anyhow. for the bumps and lumps to be gone.

It is not fun. And makes a huge mess.

I’m on the fence about you... How often do to brush that GP?

My springer gets slicked right before hunting season and every 3-4 weeks during. I try to make first frost with her coat about 1" long. This is about Thanksgiving. I keep paws and legs groomed all winter. Springers can carry a quart of water in just the hair between their toes. (Not exaggerating a ton here..... but a little) mid January she's 3-4" long. I put 2" guard on and groom. She will get another cut like this if the weekly temp doesn't average 70. If it does.... she's slicked which carries into hunting season.

She's brushed daily all year long with paw and ear checks. When I hunt her, she gets paw and ear checks every time we get back to the vehicle. Brushed as needed. If we're in burr country, I use spray cooking oil on her to keep the burrs from tearing her up. Armpits, toes, ears will take a dog off the hunt from little ol burs.

On the fence about what?
I currently brush him once a week or so. Every day in the summer.
