A PIT BULL GETS THE BRUSH OFF

The days seem to get longer, especially when you have 2 pit bulls vying for  your attention.  I don't know if Boych does it for attention or not, but I do know he requires a lot of up close and personal work.

He is still taking mud baths:

and he is not using his pool anymore:

He liberally intersperses the spas with manure packs, delightfully rolling in the neighbors horse apples.  He is persistent in looking for the not so fresh carcass that is left by the coyotes.  He has the biggest smile on his face when he returns from that adventure.

Today I came across a means of grooming him that I have used in other circumstances.   He came up and was nudging me.  He wanted to be petted.  I was in the process of doing dishes and had on rubber gloves....The yellow everyday cleaning kind.  I relented figuring I could wash off the hair that I knew would Velcro to the surface.  How did I know this?  Well it is my quick cure for getting cat fur off the chairs.

When I petted him that is exactly what happened.  When I begin using a scrubbing motion more hair began rising to the surface.   Voila!  Better than a brush.  I took him out on the porch and gave him a head to foot rub down.  The hair was flying and he was loving every moment, even when I hit the tickle spot.

I don't know if it would be an advisable treatment for a long haired dog but it sure works with my plush cut babies. I highly recommend it.

Have a Pittie nice day!

HUMANE SOCIETY: GRANDDAUGHTER'S COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT

Ashley and Meydel chillin' with the internet




Our granddaughter is totally in love with dogs.  We were wondering if that was a trait implanted in the womb.  Her Mom's first real job at 14 was working as an attendant in a kennel.  She cleaned cages everyday after school and both days on the weekend.

In these pictures she is taking time out to love our pound puppies.
Looks like they are taking advantage of the cuddle time.

Ashley and Boychik on the love seat.
She is having a Bat Mitzvah in August.  If you are not familiar with what a Bat Mitzvah is, it is
the Jewish celebration of a young woman's coming of age.

 Part of growing up is participating in the workings of your community to make a difference.  She has chosen to work with the Humane Society.  She set up a "Go Fund Me" page for the Tampa, Florida Humane Society.

When you visit the page you will see her own rescued dogs pictured.

Please support your animal protective associations, or each breed's rescue groups.  All need help to further the education of people and taking care of dogs who have been abandoned and abused.






If you would like, you can help the Tampa, Florida Humane Society through the "Go Fund Me" page established by Ashley. (Boychik and Meydel were excited to help their Tampa Cousins).
Thank you for your support.
The following link will escort you there:
