The story of a Saint Bernard who was rescued by your faithful bloggers from neglect and maltreatment

Sure, she's got issues. Who doesn't? We're working on them. But she's got her forever home now and she knows it!

Congrats to beagles everywhere

Digg!
In case you missed the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, you can find some great photos at the Christian Monitor site, and here at Animal Hubbub. And check out these lovely faces!

Daisy is not much of a beauty queen, though she does like her new FURminator. Yes, we broke down and bought one. We waited a couple days to try it, as I was worried about the loss of important undercoat warmth during this cold season. But soon, Tom was FURminating away. Even with this super-brush, grooming is still a project -- at least a half hour to start, we found. But we did accumulate a nice pile of fur from Daisy's back in about 10 minutes. Then it was time to rest.

The process must feel like a nice massage, because Daisy wanted more.

When FURminating the legs and tummy, one must be very careful. But after we got most of her, Daisy looked a bit thinner and her red-brown coat shined beautifully. A week later, her fur is taking on a soft luster and feels almost as thick as ever. And she doesn't appear to be cold. We'll let you know about the shed levels after we've had a chance to evaluate fur drifts around the house.
