| Dexter is blowing his winter coat HUGE! It started coming out in
chunks yesterday - and I'm brushing bushels off him everytime we go
outside. The birds line up on the hedge waiting for me to empty the
brush - hilarious!

Don't you just love it. I had a husky/lab mix and spring was awsome. I
would brush him every day and little fluffs of white were all over the yard
when I was done and the birds had them gone before the next morning.

Strange, I tried brushing my Lab's coat backwards and she didn't like it at
all. She resisted even though she usually loves being brushed.

Dexter loves the 'backwards' brush - as long as I sort it out for him
before we're finished. >> Stay informed about: Coat-blowing season |
