I was watching Dogs 101 about malamutes (Wolfie is part malamute) and heard the term "Blow their coats" - it is so true! I don't know if it's referring to wind or not, but there are puffs of fur floating around all the time when it gets windy! And boy does it get everywhere - I'm restaining our deck and found lots of dog hair stuck in the cracks!
Yesterday was my birthday and my husband suggested I do my favorite thing - go to dog beach! It's about 2 hours away, but boy is it worth it! The dogs are allowed off leash and they just have a great time! I called my cousin who lives nearby and he brought his german shepard to join us. Although, his girl, Annie, just had cancer surgery to remove a tumor from the anal gland, his vet says that type of cancer has an 80% chance of spreading, so now poor Annie is having chemotherapy. She was alittle subdued at the beach, but seemed to enjoy herself. The choice was once a week chemo or 5 days a week radiation for 4 weeks wherein she'd have to be put "under" every time. I felt bad for my cousin, who is a single man and she is his companion. He said that he didn't like the idea of her being put under everyday for so long. He went with the chemo and hopes that she'll be okay. Annie is 9yrs old. I hate it when dogs get old. I had to give Wolfie an aspirin when we got home last night and he's still exhausted today! But he does have a smile on his face!
Please pray for Annie! (And my cousin!) I know prayers from FOOF's work!
