This is Murphy. He had a tough 4th of July, so I put him on the interbay. He's a Newfoundland/Husky mix, and there ought to be a law forbidding those two breeds to , uh, breed. He has a soft fuzzy wooly undercoat like a Husky. He has extra oil in his topcoat like a Newf, which makes him waterproof. When he sheds, the wool gets caught in the oil and makes dog fur glue. The whole process takes about 3 months and about 4 different kinds of brushes, including, (I can't believe I'm admitting this) a dull steak knife.
When Gus sheds, his hair just sort of pops out. Removing his old hair is like peeling an orange. So, there's all you never wanted to know about my big dog's hair. Maybe next week I will fascinate you with a fun story about my little dog's fleas.
Here is what I learned this week.
*Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Actually, Jefferson wrote it and signed it. They both became presidents. They both died on July 4, 1826. Wierd, huh?
*It's hard to think of things to blog about.
*The new White Stripes cd is great.
