What spring is like for dog-owners …


When you own a dog the first signs of spring are never cute little flowers in your backyard … What is popping up from the snow as a reminder that spring is on it’s way, are all the poopies that you have forgotten to pick up after your four legged poop-machine during the winter.


Another sign that spring is right around the corner when you are a dog-owner is all the shedding. Then the sunlight will highlight every single stand of dog hair on your floor, and even though the house gets vacuumed almost every day, the piles of hair are back before you can even think of unplugging the vacuum cleaner.


Spring also means mud, and mud means having to bathe your dog after every walk he’s been on. He sheds so badly at the moment that his fur ends up clogging the drain in the shower, so I need to let him go for a split second to remove the fur (or else we would have a very lively reenactment of the great flood in our house), and he never lets that chance slip! He’ll kick the wall with his hind legs, shoot himself out of the shower, and then start running around in the bathroom like crazy. He HATES to bathe, so I cannot wait until summer comes and he doesn’t need a shower every day ~


Love, Amelié
