VARIOUS AND SUNDRY

There's not a whole lot going on unless you are a mud freak.

This is Llewis. He and Doc run the fence in the back and bark at Oreo, a black and white Border collie who belongs to Katie. Recently, Oreo's buddy, Quincy, died. Oreo is much subdued, so I have quit yelling at the dogs when they run the fence. However...there is a price to pay and you are looking at it.
Multiply this by about 100 times and you have an idea what Doc looks like at the end of the day, with mud dripping from his britches, his tail, his "feathers" (which are almost non-existant anyway) his belly, his feet, you name it.

My beautiful Belgian....

Recently we bought another "suit" for Nigel. This is lycra and made really for dogs with skin conditions, (allergies) surgery sites with stitches, etc etc. It keeps them from chewing. It is also used for show dogs, Afghan hounds, like that, to keep their coats flat.

I thought that this very tight-fitting suit would work to keep the pads for incontinence in place as well as not snagging his feet. You can cut the legs off. (Of the suit, not the dog, altho...)

Unfortunately, while the suit works, Nigel hates it with a passion I have rarely seen. He SNARLS, my sweet Nigel... when I go to put it on him.

"I look like an f*****g fool."

Utterly charming.

He can move in it, don't let him kid you. I need to put a belly band on under the suit, because the pads shift. And I need to cut the legs of the suit off short, especially in the back. He makes it look difficult but it is not more or less difficult than moving without the suit on.
