New guidelines

Metrosexuality is a fassion guideline that embarks an increasingly bigger part of the human population. Now it's spreading to dogs too. A few days ago I noticed that Sambo's wooly undercoat began separating from the overcoat. His coat doesn't come off him by itself, but the grey coat in the middle of his otherwise shiny black coat bothers me so much that I decided to brush him to get the dead wool out (I know, I'm getting worse, it's only been two months since I've last brushed him…). But considering the fact that brushing his coat represents a reciprocal torture and cause I was already disappointed in myself since I was preparing to engage in such an unnecessary activity (to me) such as brushing my dog, I decided to go one step further and make things at least a bit easier for both of us. So I went to get my hair conditioner and sprayed him on the critical areas, rubbing the conditioner into his coat. After a few minutes I started to brush him and I have to admit that the conditioner was a wonderful idea. Those 8,5 minutes were noticeably less stressful and yapping from both sides than usually, so conditioner with shea oil – two thumbs up! And so it was that besides all other not exactly manly nicknames Sambo became a metrosexual too…
