3. Crazy????????

I guess I'm not crazy for shaving my oldest golden for the summer .My other 2 goldens don't seem to really be affected by the heat.Nice picture with 2 happy pooches.

10. old

my old female is really bothered by the heat and when she is shaved she acts like a puppy.

6. We shave Phoebe

because they love to go on walks in the woods, at the farm and they especially love to swim. Phoebe would come home covered in burs and stick tights and all kinds of other difficult to remove things so we shave her in the summer. She seems to love it. I have heard that their fur is an insulator so it is not good to do it for temperature control but she does seem to like it.

8. What are things looking ugly this evening?

Am I missing something?

I love your pound doggy with issues. He looks almmost like my Sammy did except Sam had a little white star on his chest. Sammy was a pound dog too but he had no issues. He was a big galumph who was always happy and clumsy, yet he was one of the smartest dogs I've ever had.

Thanks for triggering the happy memory of Sam.

11. The news

about Iran and how it is being done for one thing, it has depressed me and then we have the in fighting that usually does not bother me but today it has. Those things made me feel like it was ugly today, damn, there are really about a million things but those were two.

We have had those big galumphs from the pound before and they are wonderful. Scully's issues are that she is tiny compared to the other two but she is the queen without question. You do NOT want to question the queen. I love her more than I can say, she has a lot of courage and she is my most special one.
