Shed much??? pics...

[Glacier]

The Annual Husky shed has begun. Antare is getting brushed this weekend, whether he likes it or not!

This is what he looked like a week ago.

This was last night!

Such a handsome little dude, even when he's in full molt!

[cassiesmom]

Oh, Antare, you are so handsome! I love your beautiful face. Glacier, could you please give Antare a pet for me during the brushing?

[cyber-sibes]

Antare is such a handome guy, really gorgeous! I love his freckles
Ouuu, I can hardly keep my hands off him....I love pulling those tufts out... I think your arm is going to be tired after brushing out so much fur! And then, you get to do 23(?) more dogs!
Mine aren't nearly that bad this year.

Oh my gosh! Seeing how much I brush Mufasa (daily, sometimes twice daily!) that would drive me insane. You'll have to show us some after pictures.

[Husky_mom]

weeeelll........ what a cutie you are Antare!!!

I too can´t help myself and HAVE to pull those tufts......they are like tempting me to do it and I can´t stop......

when you are done, and I KNOW you´ll have a full size dog ball of hair..... would you mind keeping that "dog" and sending me Antare??.... you´ll still have a full size duplicate....... hehe

I'll help. Just give me a brush. It will take me a long time because I have to give loads of hugs in between.
Edit to add: I'll bring Dr. Goodnow with me.

wow! He's gonna be neked!

I'll help brush em all! I loved brushing out all 30+ Sibes at my dog show mentor's house a couple years ago.

Oh, good gracious, what a beautiful dog! I would just be lovin on him all of the time!

[Kfamr]

If only Corinna was still here, I'd bet she would LOVE to have all of that Antare fur.

I'll bring my furminator... when will the plane be here to pick me up?

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Great pictures! He's such a handsome boy, tufts and all! I bet he'll feel much better once all that extra fur is gone.

Glacier, did Antare get a brushing this weekend or did he end up keeping his distance? What will happen to the other dogs' coats that you just let alone, will they shed their heavy fur on their own? Could you give everybody (well, anyone who's willing) a pet and/or a hug for me. What do you hear from Glacier Dad, how is camp going?

I got one side done! I have to catch him facing the other way now! The only other one who won't let me touch him is Sundin. He will just shed his coat on his own. Delta is just as timid, but I don't have much trouble catching him(in the yard anyway--we all know how much trouble it is if he gets out of the yard!). Delta actually seems to enjoy being brushed. He has an amazing coat!

Raven and Bandit won't let me brush them despite not having a shy bone in their bodies. Raven just hates it for no apparent reason. Bandit was hit with a brush in his previous home. Bandit has never bitten me, but I have little doubt that he would if I pushed the issue. I pluck them when I pet them as much as they will allow and the rest they blow off on their own.

I don't hear much from camp. Communication is hit and miss. Somedays the satelitte phone works, somedays not at all. I think Stuart will be home on July 12 for a few days.

That totally stinks. (stronger expletive avoided - this is a family board!) Bandit, please let your mum pet you so she can help you with your heavy winter coat. *more pets for Glacier's beloved dogs and cats

My sister sympathises with you, I'm sure. Although she has far fewer Sibes than you do ... seven of the little hairy beasties in her house is quite a mess this time of the year!

I only have one coat-blower, Keito ... and he's getting a bath and brush this weekend, too. I'm tired of picking clumps!
