Serenity Shattered

Yesterday, our hu-dad showed you a picture of us enjoying our shade tree. Want to know the horrible truth?

The abuse is very evident, just blowing in the wind.

Yep, our hu-dad attacked us with - excuse the profanity - a BRUSH!

Kiska is trying to remain composed.

Just look at the abuse that Qannik and Rusty suffered.

The Rusty Fan Club should be horrified.

Rusty can not even open his eyes to see the remains around him.

Even Natasha was brushed, though she grumbled appropriately.

Will she recover?

    It’s ABOUT TIME! Geesh. i was about to send Molly Maids over with the shop vac and just have them run it over 6 innocent-looking Siberians!

    Kiska’s photo looks “pre-brush” tho. i mean, she looks 4x heavier than usual, or was the wind just blowing her coat in the opposite direcition? Either that or she needs to go see Jenny.

    You guys need to toughen up. :-) My greyhounds are facing the same routine and they have lots of boney areas to contend with. Hang in there! You’ll be cooler for it.

    Your post title had me spooked! I see you were actually just lightening up a bit. Spring cleaning is abuse. I suspect Peta will be marching around hu-dads place any day now. ;)

    *gasp* All that fluff just left to go to waste?! After the torture of The Herd! I am shocked! No wonder you had some left to send into other cars subversively at stoplights!

    Was that a job for The Furminator or what?

    wow, we love the header on your blog!

    I am due to get the er, B.R.U.S.H. treatment later on today, apparently I have been lying in the dust. I mean what the heck is wrong with that?

    I liked all your photos!

    Thank you for sharing.

    love and licks, Marvin xxxxxxxxxx

    dat’s doggie torture! Should we call the animal police??

    I say, in order to get your Hu-dad back, you should slobber in his morning coffee. Just a little.

    That’s a ton of fur!!! I think that the Herd should call the authorities to fully prosecute their Hu-Dad for his “abuse” :)

    Shedding season hasn’t arrived here yet. It will soon, I think.

    Look at the up side, first you will be cooler when the summer sun starts hitting you.

    Second the Hu’s may have been planning a surprise. There may be enough hair that they can knitt you a new brother or sister.

    You really needed a disclaimer for that! That was scary and might really frighten some younger pups and the elderly! The humanity!

    At least you have photographic evidence for the court case…

    Waaaaah! We also thought that you were by a cotton tree. Wow… that’s a lot of fur. If only we can get them put put them on Mocha & Sugar to make them more fluffy.

    It’s a little too sunshiny here in the Philippines so we are shedding whatever little fur we have. It does give us a cooler feeling. Although, Fudgie and Frappie are hoping their fluff grows back really soon and we hope the same for all of you.

    By the way, Fudgie & Princess are blessed with 2 new piappies almost a month ago. Do visit us soon and meet Wai-Pai & Wai-Max.

    -Fudgie, Princess & the Piappies

    ps: your photo under the tree is really pretty. =)

    Your hu-dad could get a spinner, have them to spin it into yarn and make enough $$$ to pay for your kibble besides. Really, yarn is pricey these days! Just ask my Mom if you don’t believe me.

    Kisses,

    You’ve got we wondering about a huge pile of fur Kona and i saw recently on a hike. I thought it was a coyote…but maybe the siberian/hu-dad abuse made it’s way to California.

    Ruby and Kiva saw these photos and got frightened, but I assured them it was just some special light, fluffy snow that only falls around good little herds.

    Unbelievable! This is borderline abuse. We just got Furminated ourselves, all six of us, and our yard looks like the area around your tree! Okay, like a small sample of it BOL

    Dear Herd,
    Countless numbers of birds thank you for the wonderful contribution to their nest building. Just think of those eggs being protected by that soft and fluffy hair. Not the mention the cozy warmth for the little baby birds. What a great gift your hu-dad helped you provide.

    That does not look right!
