Pretty Dog!!

Each year as summer approaches, Gracie is looking her finest with her long, golden soft hair. However, it does start to get a little "clumpy" at this time as we are not diligent dog groomers. More importantly, however, is the excessive panting that begins to take place as the mercury rises, and Gracie (brilliant dog that she is) plops herself on the hot pavement or the hot deck and bakes away in misery. Last year, she had her own personal 20' x40' pool to cool herself off in periodically. This year, much to her chagrin, she must find relief in the cheap, blue plastic pool that leaks and that she can barely even fit in (she's big boned, OK?), as we have successfully torn out our pool (and deck for that matter). So what do we do to help her out, (and to get out of having to brush her regularly)? Well, see below, and you shall be enlightened.....
