The flies have really been bothering our dog lately. They are taking over his ears, nose, and everywhere else they can stick to. Thankfully, Google helped me find a solution. (Blessing #1163)
I found a bottle at Orschelin's and Chad helped me spray Beau down. Did Beau like his new "treatment"? Ummmm . . . NO! The first thing he did was roll around in the dirt, which became mud on his freshly sprayed hair. But at least the flies left him alone. (#1164) Next time, we'll try a new approach and not let him out of the house til it dries.
In the meantime, Beau earned himself a trip to the Doggie Bath at our local car wash a couple days later.
He fought us, but we won!
If you've never tried the Doggie Wash, it's perfect for washing big dogs. But the best part is that the mess wasn't in my house. (#1165) It works just like a car wash, and you start with the dial on "shampoo," then you switch it to "rinse," then "conditioner", followed by another "rinse" and then "dry." And if you're dog has met a skunk, they even have a "skunk wash" cycle. And if your dog has dry skin, try the "oatmeal" cycle.
The hair dryer cycle made Beau's hair fly everywhere! We were covered with it! We tried not to breath thru our mouths, but that just meant his hair went up our noses instead. Gross!
These are such cute pictures of BoBo. Poor puppy. He's a pansy just like Cinder.
