Anatolians and baths...

[Southern by choice]

Haven't tackled the bath yet, decided to wait to go to the vet the Friday after the 4th. When you have a female brindal puppy, I may have to drive to NC....

maybe it will rain real hard and Toli will get his "bath".
Lol- I would have loved to have had Toli breed Callie! He is very handsome.

I have this fantasy where I get in the car and spend a month or two just driving around the country visiting all my BYH peeps....

LOL many of us have done that by meeting people here on this forum!

And then reality checks in and says, and what would happen to the farm while you're away??

The reality is we all only have a 6 hour window... there is NO-ONE to take care of the farm when you have a bunch of LGD's. They won't let anyone in the fields if we are not there. Sometimes it can be a pain!

I was thinking about getting a female brindle pup from you to be Toli's soul mate.

The genetics for a brindle are rather tricky, but I am hoping she will give us a brindle or two!
Toli does need a soul mate.

Ok, finally got Toli a bath. We bought a 100 gal black plastic water trough. It sits on the ground and is about pocket high. Filled it 2/3 with water and let it sit in the sun for 4 hours. Still cool but not freezing cold. With no running, spraying, cold water, it was pretty anti climatic. Still needed two people, one to hold his head and one to wash him. But no howling and jumping so it was pretty easy. Had to have my son pick him up as I can't and he won't hop in there because I tell him to. Other than that, not bad at all. MUCH better than the last time I bathed him.

Watched Kojo this weekend, time to get the big dog his rabies booster...
