Cosmo smells like…

    …fabric softener... I did the laundry later in the day and put her blanket on it and used it last night... She always bury herself in it to keep super warm and toasty... This morning, when I was playing with her, she smelled kind of fresh and clean... And then realized why... I think she's static-free, too!!! :D:D:D

    Wow, smells good and static free too! That calls for some extra hugs and smooches!

    My rat terrier, Joker, gets very anxious whenever there's a thunderstorm, and starts to shake… and we live in the lightning capital of the US. :) Someone told me to rub his back with a fabric softening sheet, like Bounce... and it was supposed to discharge the static electricity in the air! Well, it didn't really work, but he sure did smell good! :) :)

    My basenji mix Layla loves to run around in very high plants and shrubs like foxtail. Could it be that it reminds her of something similiar like in Africa?

    All of mine are having a longer and larger shed right now than is usual. I think it because it has been unusually hot and humid for a longer time than normal.

    Yes, its not too early to get the trashcans locked up. However, you will only "forget" to p/u the items once. Laugh! The bad news is the dirty "items" can make the dog very sick. Running to the vet sick. The plastic alone is scary, what that can do to the internal workings of a b's tummy.

    Hi Quercus! Tano's breeder was Maripat Webber of Etukon. I believe both her siblings went on to be show dogs. Tano took after her mom as far as coloring…being the only red and white of the litter. ^_^ I'll push up Tano's appointment for her physical and request the full thyroid thing. If this is all related to thyroid I definitely want to get it looked into asap! Thank you for pointing out that it could all be related! She really develops a thick woolly undercoat in the fall/winter. You'd think the house wasn't near 70 degrees all winter! If her hair was a little longer I could possibly clean it up and felt with it--she sheds that much! :D
