What a Dog Puts Up With!!!

[Carol and Banjo]

Banjo and I took a long walk this morning on our heavily sanded road.   Fortunately, because we live by the lake our road isn't salted too.    On returning home I did my best to clean his paws and legs of the wet sand.   UGH!!!   What a mess!

I decided that his paws and legs needed a good trimming.  So I brought out a nice frozen Kong and the vacuum cleaner.

I would stop and vacuum up the trimmings and sandy mess as I went.   Luckily Banjo isn't bothered by the vacuum.   Well, one thing led to another and I figured while I was at it I'd take some of the length off his whole body.   I used the vacuum to pull the hair away from him and cut as I went along.  I think I remember some TV advertisement for hair cutting like this many years ago!    Banjo was great!   He seemed only mildly annoyed that I chose to do this while he was trying to enjoy his peanut butter/oatmeal Kong.   And the floor is pretty clean of fur and sand now!  I just love this guy for being so patient with me!!!

Wow, that sounds really great!  Banjo is so adorable!

[Carol and Banjo]

Thanks Nancie.  His "cut" is not all that noticable as I never take too much off.  Late spring he'll be getting a "real" cut to go into the warmer weather with.

Carol...I just went and looked at the three snow pictures of Banjo.  What a love bug!!!!  He is always adorable!

[Carol and Banjo]

Nancie I posted pics to my page...the 3 snow pics are the "after" cut shots.

Wow! Banjo is such a good boy!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I would love to have seen this!  My guys don't mind the vacuum cleaner, but I've never tried to vacuum THEM with it....I'm thinking "no way".

[Camilla and Darwin]

Okay, that is just plain awesome!  I hate having Darwin's hair everywhere, perhaps I should try this. He doesn't mind the vacuum either...

[Anna and Achilles]

Wow Banjo Achilles could learn a thing or two from you.

Happy to report that Muttluks work really well to keep the feet clean and prevents the dirt and mud from flicking up on the belly. Banjo what a good sport you are, if I went near Quincy with the vaccum he would be totally stressed. Love the doodle version of the Flowbee.
