Adult humans get no mercy from the ElkaNator. <br /><br />I definitely agree; short coated is the way to go! I didn't realize I'd hit the "self clean" button, but I hope I con't accidentally hit it again and turn it off. It's kind of nice, this clean dog thing. I mean, she does get periodic baths, but the absence of mud was inexplicable. <br /><br />I've mentioned before that Elka moves at exactly the wrong moment when I'm taking pictures, but this time, she was so concentrated, it just worked out! Of course, I just kept pressing the "take picture" button and hoped it would get what I saw. Not much time for review or re-dos on walks! Besides, "attack the mud puddle' isn't a cue we currently have. The spontaneity would've been lost.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562151546770315227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938120942169485220.post-74034072541554115162011-09-24T22:56:33.055-04:002011-09-24T22:56:33.055-04:00I totally agree about dogs being dogs ... and the ...I totally agree about dogs being dogs ... and the fact that just because they sleep on your bed (or in the bed in Frankie's case!) they're not going to raid the knife drawer and slit your throat while you're asleep one night!<br /><br />It often amazes me how clean Frankie and Beryl are when we get home from a muddy walk. I love short coated, self cleaning dogs:) <br /><br />Elka looks so cute playing in the puddle, you did well getting photos!Greyhounds CAN Sithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178195107110286989noreply@blogger.com
