Tis the season for Scout to shed!
Instead of making the house even more infested with dog hair, I have been brushing Scout outdoors.
It was a few days ago when I noticed that the little sparrows were picking up the dog hair and carrying it to their nests. It is the cutest little thing I have ever seen! It's almost instantaneous--I brush--leave the hair on the lawn--and they're there!
So now I thoroughly enjoy brushing him and leaving the hair for the birdies.. (I think he loves it too!) Last night I think I brushed him 4 different times! I wait for the birds to take the first batch and then--"c'mon Scout--the birds need more nesting materials" and he happily trots over for yet ANOTHER brushing.
((poor dog he'll have only patches of hair left on him before the summer is over!))
If you'll notice in the picture,, the bird has a tuft of Scout's hair in his beak! So cute!
Stacie, It just makes my day to read your blog! Bailey's BD pics are SO sweet! What a little lady to WAIT to open her gifts! LOL!! And the story about Scout's fur & the birds is really cool! I give Rocky's hair to the birds too. They love it to keep the babies warm and comfy. Love you kid! Have a terrific vaca in San Fran & LA!!! PS...thanks again for letting me use "EXPRESS your inner clown" as my wallpaper. I love him!!
