Beth was out taking photos this afternoon for our summer newsletter when she happened to take this interesting shot of old, blind Peabody and blind Luke in front of Widget's House. The photo reminded me of the expression, "like two ships passing each other in the night."
Peabody is in the "blowing the coat out" stage, where his thick hair just keeps coming out in tufts. The more we brush, the less difference it seems to make! The next day he always has more. Depending on the dog and coat, this can go on for weeks; the German Shepherds here seem to do this more often than anyone else.
In the background on the left is blind Dusty enjoying a sunny spring afternoon.

LOL, my Bernise Mtn dog, Patrick, blows his coat twice a year also. Start thinking about a cottage industry of making scarfs and sweaters from the hair. You certainly have enough.
LOL.

Spring is in the air and the sun is shining.......the dogs are delighted!!! Great photo!
Peabody's mom's heart would melt knowing her sweet furry companion is alive and romping in the sunshine!
