Molly, you don't have to brush your short hair dog? I don't brush mine every day, but for sure once a week or he sheds way too much.
My crazy border collie has been completely obnoxious because I haven't walked with him for a few days. The wind chills were around 10 and I get wimpy about going out walking in that weather. I'm a crossing guard and stand outside for 2 hours a day. In the winter, that's about all the cold I can take. It was a fairly decent day. It warmed up to about 38 degrees and the sun came out. The snow and ice had melted off the sidewalks so I decided we would go for a walk today. We took about a 45 minute walk.
When we got home I gave him his after walking treat...3 ice cubes. He loves ice cubes. He laid next to me on the couch and warmed me up while I watched a bit of TV before going off to my afternoon crossing guard shift. When I got home, I took him outside to play fetch with his giant cookie toy that we got at Petco awhile back.
He finally got enough exercise today that he's not being obnoxious anymore. He's been laying in the recliner with my 19 year old daughter. I think he knows she isn't feeling well so he's comforting her. I should take a picture. They look so sweet all cuddled up in blankets together.
