I sent that pic to Pippin's breeder she couldn't believe how he looked!...Said it looked like he gained 50 lbs. with all that fluff!...Now if I could just find my rake brush I'd really fluff him up!...I bet THEY hid it in the yard & I am going to look now!...Pippin is the king of getting stuff out into the yard I don't want him to have...I swear I'm gonna check him for hidden pockets! 
He's a fluffy-butt, all right! That's part of what makes them so huggably Pyrish! I'm pretty sure that he's related to Carter, the king of "stuff in the yard"! LOL! Carter isn't at all sneaky about it though. He just drags it all out to the "hill of messes" and looks as pleased as punch with himself. Tonight's find was a plastic pint milk jug that someone tossed out along the road. He likes to pick up that sort of nice, smelly item on our walks and bring them home. Hard to discourage him when he's so cute about it and so pleased with his finds! Good luck finding your rake! I'm surprised Carter hasn't hid mine yet. He LOVES to be petted and hugged, doesn't mind the slicker but he jsut barely tolerates the pull of the rake. In his mind I think life would be much happier without that rake. Maybe Pippin is hinting that he'd prefer you didn't use the rake
Maybe he's secretly planning out how to get back to his dirty, flat old self.
