Leia doesn't seem to be blowing her coat yet so ever since I posted the article on brushing GSDs I have been doing the " two-minute misting-back brushing" method every night. She doesn't seem to care at all which way I brush her as long as there are MilkBone halves involved! Yippee! I mist her with an organic spray I found at Petsense that doesn't make her smell like anything in particular, it just seems to cancel out doggy odor. Thank goodness because I don't think I could take her seriously if she smelled like Chanel. Anyways, I brush her all over making all her hair stand up temporarily since it's short hair. I skip the toweling step because I don't have a chamois towel yet. She seriously doesn't seem to even know that I am back brushing and I was a bit nervous because everyone seems to post about how all their dogs hate back brushing. What a cool dog I have!
Next we brush the chompers. One MilkBone broken into three (a little trickier to do, lol) gets us to teeth brushing time. 1/3 for sniffing the opened doggy toothpaste and finger brush so she knows what we're about to do. Next I brush the left side top and bottom teeth. That earns the next 1/3 MilkBone piece. Right side complete and the last 1/3 is earned. Then she is free to leave the bathroom all minty fresh and pretty as a picture.
Speaking of pictures, I haven't posted any because my iPhone4 has been acting it's age and not syncing with my iTunes so I can dump the old pics onto the laptop. My tech geek hubby just helped me out last night and I think I am in the clear to empty my photo memory on my phone and begin shutter-buggin' again.
Stay tuned, this site is about to turn into Leia-palooza as it was meant to be. It will be with the shots I have been wanting to take and will show the activities we do everyday to entertain ourselves.
Peace and Puppies!
