We haven't decided yet what to call the latest addition to our kennel. Yesterday, after Pooh had his booster shot, sis picked up a four-month old golden retriever. True to its breed name, it's soft coat has the same color as cappuccino that shimmered as gold upon close inspection.
Cocoa made a very strong impression the moment its carrier was deposited on the porch floor. Wow, how she stank. The smell was a combination of a variety of odor, not one good which left us with a bad stomach. Rubbing its soft mane revealed a host of parasites feasting on its young flesh. Poor thing!
After resting for around four hours, off to the shower we went. How she loved the water. Since the sky was overcast, we kept it short, just enough to render the ticks giddy from the medicated soap and the smell softened to a tolerable degree if not eliminated.
All is well for now.
