I Ain’t Got No Hair

Hondo blew his coat this month. We’ve never seen a dog blow coat this fully before. We were literally a little embarrassed to be seen with him for a week or two because he looked so homely. He looked like a glue horse with scraggly feathers..
But soon we started noticing that he seems to be putting on weight. His ribs don’t show any more and he looks very healthy. And his hair is growing back quickly and it is very soft now. The photo above was taken after his hair had grown back in for about a week. He just looks like we shaved him. Not too bad at all.
We’ve had Hondo for over 3 months now and he is a great dog and becoming even better. He obeys the “no cat” command, sits very easily, knows “wait” very well and has generally become much more pleasant to walk on a leash. He’s still too rough with Raven but they tolerate each other well and play inside occasionally. Outside Hondo just bowls her over and she doesn’t want any part of it.
