I hate to say it, but that is more than a winter coat with Smudge. Her owner (who shall remain nameless) doesn't brush her...much. Smudge tends to attack when you are meaning business when you brush. Her attack threshold is higher with me, I don't take any nonsense from her. I had just washed all the dog mats, cat mat, blankets on the couch that were hairy, and Smudge happened to come along while I was thinking about hair, etc. I got the Furminator, coaxed her outside, and had a go at her. She was NOT impressed, yowled most of the time, but I managed to avoid losing any blood. If I remember today when I see her walking around, I'll have another go. These days she mostly sleeps.
My original blurb is below. This blog was started to show some of our customers where their food is coming from. But...since there aren't actually many of our customers reading it, and just because I wanted to... this blog now is all over the map. Lots of dog stuff, places we go, things we do, and of course gardening and animal stuff, and whatever else I feel like rambling on about.
We live on a 10 acre hobby farm in the Bradner area of Abbotsford, British Columbia. We are vendors at the Abbotsford and the White Rock Farmer's markets, selling a large variety of items. These include jams, jellies and marmalades, sewn items, free range eggs, cut flower bouquets, fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit. We grow organically, although are not certified organic. At the present moment our hobby farm houses 4 adult humans, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 4 ewes, 1 horse and 80-99 laying hens.
Spring has sprung. We have a light snow on the ground and no flowers as of yet. I think I'd SHAVE that cat! Yowsers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring flowers!

Oh, spring flowers!!! I'm envious! Cold and snowy here of course.
ReplyDeleteI think you have another hours work left on Smudge, that is quite the winter coat.
