Ever knew a kid who tore the tags off of his clothes because they bothered him? Who had a limited wardrobe because of the way clothes felt? Perhaps you were that child? Well, I have one of those children but in canine form. Breeze LOVES and ADORES human touch and gets rather cuddly at times, but throw something semi-permanent on her fur and she's got a serious problem. And unfortunately, she falls victim to this sensation every time she gets a bath:
All of the dogs I have ever owned enjoy rubbing on the carpet after a bath, but never one like Breeze. This girl will throw herself to the ground and flop around like a dying fish for at least 10 minutes until she is somewhat dry.
Fortunately, this usually isn't much of a problem. A while back I had tried some essential oils to help with some behavioral issues and this was her reaction to putting a drop on her fur. I don't think it was the smell that got to her - I really think it was the feel of the oil on her fur.
Anyways, Breeze may be a nut, but that's what makes her special :)
Secret has issues with flea/tick treatment. She really freaks out at the feeling of it spreading out, so every time I apply it I have to do her last and then head out the door immediately for a walk to distract her. Otherwise she keeps spinning around and acting like something is biting her. lol
I figure because she has such thin hair it just trickles down her back and feels odd.
Gotta love special dogs! :o)
