Misty Morning Walk

[summer_jackel]

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.



Oh, the ruff of the Coba

Awesome pix! I love the quirky perspective on the last three. Jezebel sez "What are you doing that isn't scratching my muttonchops like a good human?"

Also, SIGNIFICANT FRUFF OF COLLIE.

My primary job is to scritch any wolf portions that may be offered, it's true. She doesn't understand why I keep insisting on putting that mechanical thing that makes weird little noises and I won't let her explore with her teeth between herself and I. Wolf confusion!

I think there are fewer pics of Jez because she tends to be in my lap for them.

And the collie? The collie has more fruff than he did YESTERDAY. I am not lying.

Jez is a cutewolf of much cute, it's true. :)

Stunning pics, and subjects!

Thank you! /much wagging of tails/
You were gorgeous in the FC masquerade; I was impressed. Maybe one of these cons I'll see you for more than three seconds on stage. :)

I feel like she is going to jump through my screen and say hi... well I would not mind that.
Very cute ruffs on the collies.

Jez is an affectionate beast. Se would totally jump through a screen for scritching if she could.

Of course, she'd also eat a screen just to see IF she could. Wolves. I keep her away from my electronics. ;)

You definitely have a cute housefox there on the top, and that pic of Jezz on the bottom is awesome. You need to make other use of that. (like the icon already done).

Yes, I need to add that icon! Cute Jezzie is cute.
