…but it would be difficult.
This time of year, the sunrises tend to be more noticeable than sunsets, but last Thursday was an exception.

Lody really needed a bath, but I didn’t want to subject her to the stress of hauling her to either a groomer or a DIY setup. And I really don’t have a place to give a Collie a bath here. I had been intrigued by the idea of a mobile dog groomer, so today Kristy came by with her Sudsy Dogmobile. This was a modified horse trailer that had a warm water wash tub, drying apparatus and rubber mats throughout. Kristy spent a lot of time on Lody, and delivered back a sparkling Collie. Probably the last time Lody was this clean was the last time she was shown. Kristy even did a good job on her nails. Best of all, Lody didn’t seem too stressed out by the experience. Although Smooth Collies don’t have as much of a coat as Rough Collies, it is still a job of work to get them clean. I am very pleased.
Lody is playing with Orion in this photo. It is hard to get the full effect without hearing the blood curdling growls from Lody while she plays.
I discovered today that I don’t consider it a real snow anymore unless we get close to a foot of snow. Of course, it can still be a real nuisance.
