It’s the time of year when dogs shed. Libby is no exception. Her hair is course and thick, and the past few weeks, I think I’ve swept up pounds of the stuff floating around on the ceramic tile. I was told that a good bath would help loosen the old stuff that I couldn’t seem to get rid of, even though I was using a ‘shedding brush’ at least once a day.
Yesterday, was bath day. We scrubbed for about 15 minutes and rinsed for another 30. Libby didn’t protest; I’m assuming it felt pretty good to her since it was such a hot day. The very second the last bit of soap was rinsed from her, she took off in a mad dash for a couple bio breaks, and then promptly rolled in the grass. She finally pulled a towel to the sun and finished drying, basking in the hot rays.
A couple more brushings and she and her shiny, good-smelling new body was allowed back inside. She was worn out from all the commotion and slept most of the evening on the couch. A dog’s life ain’t so bad if you’re Libby.
