Oh, what a day-- a four dog day to be exact. We are still watching Bartleby. Luna's parents needed to get some painting redone so we had a doggie play date for the afternoon. To make it even more interesting, we borrowed Biscuit for the afternoon walk in Battery Kemble. At the usual play spot, these dogs had at it-- even Bartleby was enjoying being off leash and in the water. They ran and ran and ran, chewed on sticks, and ran some more.
As we were walking back to the car, we noticed that Stirling had some issues. Her "doggie velco" was attracting all sorts of stuff: sticks, leaves, bark. So much stuff was collecting on her hind legs, underbelly, and her chest. When I stopped to try to help remove the debris, I realized it was actually
frozen to her! Being in the cold water and then in the cold air, all her fur froze in straggling strands, to which the leaves and sticks clung.
When we got home, thankfully, I was able to brush most of that out once her hair defrosted. The velco ability is really quite something. Or, as Will says in the video, she was wearing an entire tree on her @ss. So glad our dog does not have weight issues....
