Baxter, the World's Best Dog, was starting to look reddish again late this winter and the male half of the dog owners decided it was time to give him his annual massive brushing. He has little brushes every now and then but at least once a year a Schipperke has a "blow out" of the under coat and it is amazing how much fur can be pulled off the dog without him looking at all different (except losing that redding tinge to his fur that appears as the undercoat loosens and works its way out). Well, they went off to watch a TV show and brush and the end result was nearly enough fur for another dog. The birds will like it as we put dog fut out for them to use in their nests in the spring. Such a cumpfy little bed for a newly hatched bird!
We told Baxter following this that he was "half the dog he used to be" but he just interpreted that as time to get a treat or something for putting up with all that brushing!
He doesn't look diminished at all!
