Rolling Dog Farm Blog

I was heading out this afternoon to take some photos for today’s blog of the blind horses enjoying a beautiful late summer day on pasture, but I didn’t get past the kitchen.  There was blind Callie grooming blind Briggs, who had stopped playing with his tennis ball while he enjoyed the spa session. 

That’s right, deaf Stuart is not the only groomer we have here.  Long-time readers of the blog have seen other photos of Callie at work, almost always grooming our black dogs.  (For a rare exception to the "black-is-best" rule, see this post.)  And if they’re not pure black dogs, then she’s grooming the black part of their coats.  Since she’s blind this can’t be a color preference, but we’ve never quite figured it out.  So it didn’t surprise me to see which part of Briggs she was grooming. 

As you can see, Briggs sure was relishing it!

Callie typically prefers grooming the back half of dogs, while Stuart is all about the front end, so if only we could get them to offer a tandem grooming service we’d be all set!
