This is obviously the "before" picture. Gabriel really is needing a bath and a trim. Although it has turned quite cold I just can't put it off any longer. AND family is coming in and I don't want to have a smelly, grungy dog around -- because he will choose one of them to be his best buddy.
Having him out of the house and getting cleaned up necessitates all kinds of laundry so that when he comes home we get a fresh start. I hadn't realized how bad it was until a few nights ago as I was watching TV with my cozy, fluffy blanket, I got a good whiff of DOG. Ooops, time to go to the groomer.
