Misty Morning Walk

So grooming dogs is a thing that I do, blessed as I am with this particular quartet. We are looking at an honestly-I'm-srsly-gonna-do-this dog show in April, coupled with Bliss beginning to sprout the beginnings of his adult pelage. Couple that with the storm we've been having for the last few weeks and furcon, during which time I didn't really groom anybody much, and it all comes down to having some dogs to brush this week.

Jez and Rogue are done; Bliss and Coba are about halfway there. Coba has been brushed, but I haven't done much of the subtle but vital clipping; I'm not clipping Bliss yet (other than a hock trim), but he's at the stage where the last puppy coat is shedding out, and it wants to matt up in the roots of the thicker new growth. So I'll be brushing him every night until it's done, and then he should be much easier-care.

Then I walked them, of course, and the misty drizzle did amusing things with my fresh work. But here they are.
