I am now exhausted and soaking wet.......

No, MyJay is still in Flag :tongueout:

First I tried to brush Alex the Dog. NOT a happening thing..... too thick of lamb-like build up, too much accumulated fine dirt. Okeydokey then. So I use the dog hair clippers and SHAVE Alex the Dog. Amazingly, he didn't freak. Then tried brushing again..... so so results.

Then the garden hose bath...... all in the driveway, of course. Lamb-like hair flying gently around us (and up my fargin NOSE) in the slight breeze. Then the cream rinse to get all the soap out, wash his face with a wash cloth. So...... he's telling me, Mom, I am really SO done with this now.........

So I towel dry what's left of his semi-nekked body..... and into the house for more reward bisquets.

Oh JEZ! Did *I* just get the look of death-wish-to-mother! look! :shocked:

Not so much on this particular doggie.......... he's got a coat like a lamb around his neck and part way down toward his shoulders, then thick but not mangley or curly coat the rest of the way toward the tail, then the lamb curls kick in again around his tail-end, shall we say...... silly fuzz face - he's a dalmy/pointer/dane mix of some sort.........hehehe........ also known at the RooMoose ;)

My dog is the same. Now that she's older, her hair mats real bad, and she doesn't groom herself much anymore. I have to wash, and shaver her. I get ignored for a good day after. She pretends she can't hear me, but can damn well here the snack bag open.

Is it wrong that I'm thinking how nice it would be to learn to spin with that? :supergrin:Not so much on this particular doggie.......... he's got a coat like a lamb around his neck and part way down toward his shoulders, then thick but not mangley or curly coat the rest of the way toward the tail, then the lamb curls kick in again around his tail-end, shall we say...... silly fuzz face - he's a dalmy/pointer/dane mix of some sort.........hehehe........ also known at the RooMoose ;)

I dunno if the shaved and clipped byproduct would BE 'spinable'........ doesn't come off in one, long matt or whatever - isn't long enough to really get matted - there's a walmart bag full of it tho, if you wanna try hehehe.......

With my allergies to dogs, probably not a good idea. :couch:

I wonder how much an alpaca costs? :rofl:
