Soggydoggy

I'd been putting it off for days, but the hot wind was blowing bales of dog hair through the house, so I sacrificed my own hair brush, sat on a stool and set to work with Grace tied  to the gate. 
After a wrestling match, she surrendered  and I spend the next two hours removing as much loose fur as I could. I think it was quite therapeutic for both of us and we established that she is not pack leader after all.
Here she is still wet from being shampood. She is very well built for a female of this breed, not spindly like most of the kennel bred ones.
