This is “Winter Molly.” she is a cocker spaniel/schnauzer cross. She is about 25 pounds and is 15 years old. She has really thick, amazingly long hair for a small dog. I use the defurminator on her all through the winter, trying to keep her from leaving a whole dog’s worth of hair all over the house every day. It’s a full time job trying to keep her reasonable clean, since one of her favorite things is finding or digging a hole in the yard and then sticking her snout in it, all the way up to her eyes.
This is “Spring/Summer/Fall Molly”. We have her sheared like a sheep, cut short all over. Our land is wooded, with lots of burrs. She had been already coming in covered nose to tail with small green burrs that I had to comb out, much to her distress. Keeping her hair short allows me to find ticks before they attach, treat her well for any possible fleas, keep her free of burrs, and be able to wash her quickly in the kitchen sink when she has enjoyed another hole.
Our vet/groomer is handling the pandemic aftermath situation well. We drove up in the car, called them to tell them we were there. A lady came out with Molly’s file, confirmed what we were going to do, made sure she had our contact phone numbers, and said they would call when she was ready. When we picked her up, we called from the parking lot again. They brought out a credit card reader and Molly, and we were on our way.
This is a really sweet little doggy, and I love BOTH of my Mollys.
