I want you guys to know that I now have hot water here at the cabin to bath dogs. My hubby ran black pipe on the roof of the barn and now as soon as the sun hits it gives me all the warm water I need. Keep in mind that we are totally off the grid here and it is 1.5 hrs to town one way, so hot water is a big deal. It is 7:10n and is only 44 degree. It has been the coldest spring and summer of record so far. The best thign about being here in the summer is the area for conditioning dogs. Terry on Mt.

Ahhhh...a doggy wash! I have a HUGE, cool unfinished basement and that's where I have the grooming tub. I can hose the floor off when we finish bathing, then if it's a nice day I blow them out outside...nice nest lining for the birds:) And you are right...lots of hair this year, but then again I have 2 10 month olds that look like wooly bears even now. I'm waiting patiently to be rid of puppy coat. Kathy In a message dated 7/13/2011 9:19:40 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, InquestGSD@xxxxxxx writes: I know what you mean! I splurged and got a hydraulic table for grooming at home, with the GSD and the MinPoodles, it just made sense....I will never be without one! I must confess, I still go to the SelfServe bathing facility at Petco to bathe the GSDs, that way I don't have all the mess at home.......I cant get over how badly they are shedding this year.... <G> * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : 2 x Sel EX AM CH & Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE In a message dated 7/7/2011 1:29:38 P.M.
