I got a nice, new to collar to review from thedog bark collar store! This is a "polycoated webbing" material instead of the fabric that we're used to. (A hard rubber-like material.) So, it's extremely easy to clean.. dirt easily washes off. Unlike my usual fabric collars that start to look worn and dirty after a couple months.. and never look fully clean, even after scrubbing.
It was stiff and hard to bend around my neck at first. But after a few wears, I've broken it in, and it's much more comfy now. Mom likes that my collar is silent - the tag is built right into the collar - so no jingling tags! And it comes in several fun colors.. we chose hot pink so it'd stand out on my dark fur. Mom's only minor complaint is that it's not as easy as most collars to take on and off, since it's more like a belt buckle than a regular clasp. But that also makes it more secure. It's certainly the most sturdy and strong collar that I own. We highly recommend this one!
Since mom hasn't been good about posting lately, here's our Instagram feed... We're much more frequent there. And once there's a way to automatically make a new post from Instagram, we'll be all over that.
Sorry we've been absent lately! We've been having so many fun adventures this summer! One of them was a trip to the Indiana Dunes State Park and lakeshore. Mom knew I loved the beach by our house (which is now closed to dogs! Boo!). So, she has been trying to find dog friendly beaches here in Indiana for us to visit.
Mom said we're going back in a couple weeks! This time with my mom's friend and her two whippets. I'm not crazy about sharing my car for such a long drive, but I'll be sure to tell them who's boss.
For Mom's birthday, we visited a huge city park that we had never been to before. It was so big, it was almost overwhelming to drive around. Mom finally just parked and we chose a random trail, relying on her phone GPS to get us back to the car. I could have told her there was no need. I could have led us back there no problem! Mid "shake"
This log looks interesting.

Okay, done here. On to the next...
After our day visiting the park, Mom stopped off at a frozen yogurt place that had froyo just for dogs! Yum!
If Mom hasn't mentioned, I shed. A LOT. So when we had the opportunity to try out and review Kong's new ZoomGroom, Mom jumped at the chance. Now, I haven't minded any of the de-shedders that Mom has used on me. But man, this is like a massage. Keep going as long as you think you need.
As you can see after a couple passes, my hair sticks to the ZoomGroom pretty well. Though, even more was left on my back. Mom says she'll be doing this mostly outside like the other grooming tools we've tried. It brings up just as much hair as other tools. But Mom's favorite thing about this product is that the teeth aren't sharp. And since there are no sharp edges, she can carry it around easier in her purse. AND it won't irritate my already sensitive skin and dry it out like the sharper, harsher tools.
As you can see by my face after Mom was finished, this is my favorite grooming tool too!
There's a new beach by our neighborhood! Sure, it's just a small, man-made lake. But hey, it's a sandy beach that (so far) allows dogs.. I'm excited to check it out!
Then came the day we added a little more time and distance to our walk on a hot day...
And I surprised Mom by walking into the lake (to drink) and actually pulled to try to go out deeper! Mom says now that she knows I can tolerate water, that she's not going to believe me when I act scared of baths. Uh oh. Secret's out!

Today is my Gotcha Day, also celebrating my 6th Birthday since Mom doesn't know when that was. I don't feel a day over 3!
