Faux Newfie
« on: August 30, 2007, 02:07:01 pm »
This summer our Newfie, Cody, was having a hard time adjusting to the summer temperatures in his room.  Last summer he did OK at 78 degrees, but this year at 78 he was breathing way too hard trying to cool himself and had even less energy than usual. 

Then a dear friend came to visit who is also learning to do grooming, and she had her clipper.  We had a bit of fun with the leftover fur and thought y'all might also enjoy our arrangement.

Cody's breathing is back to normal and he is frisky!

Wow!  That's alot of hair!   :D  You should make a sweater out of it!  And give it to a doggie that needs a sweater in the winter!  :D ;)

I doubt you can throw that fur in the recycle bin. :D That's quite a pile.

We recently got Rosie's butt area and inner thighs completely shaved and that in itself was a huge pile, I can't imagine how much fur we'd get shaving the rest of her body. I guess you answered that question. We'd end up with a Rosie 'twin' on the floor.

oh boy that's a lot of fur!!  lol!!  Fumble gets a lot from his furminator..  but not nearly as much as your baby!  Fumble has his own AC in my room to help with the humidity up here.  So that helps alittle bit with the shedding clumps!
