Welcome Ruckus!

Ruckus is a very photogenic American Eskimo Dog.  Ruckus shares wonderful pictures, product reviews and giveaways.  Ruckus is clear over on the west coast and by the looks of the pictures has some fun adventures.

Welcome aboard Ruckus and thanks for co-hosting!

The V-E-T

Ah the V-E-T.  We had to take Storm and Freighter to the V-E-T Tuesday night.  Storm needed her annual Lepto vaccine and Freighter needed a re-check for a minor issue from a couple of weeks ago.  Neither Storm nor Freighter were thrilled about being at the V-E-T.  I can’t blame them.  They rarely go for anything fun.  🙂

I snapped a couple of pictures with my cell.

In no time they were finished and out the door.  Whew!  They were relieved.

The B-A-T-H

I finally had time to give Freighter the long promised bath with the Rainforest Coastal Labs shampoo that JoAnn from Sand Spring Chesapeakes sent for us to try.  Freighter was not too cooperative.  He was OK when I lathered him up,  but he was not too thrilled when I tried to rinse him.  Luckily the shampoo was very easy to rinse.   It had a light scent and left him nice and clean.  He was doing a bit of scratching before the bath.  I think it was because he had a lot of dead hair which I hoped would come out with the bath.   I think it worked.  His coat looks a lot better and he is not scratching.

Thank you JoAnn for the sample.  I love the shampoo!  I definitely plan to bathe Thunder and Storm this Fall, but Freighter was enough of a challenge for one day!

Freighter got a touch of the zoomies post bath.

Finally, I took this picture of the sun rise last Sunday.  Rain was on the way as you might be able to tell from the sky.

  1. Hi guys – and welcome Ruckus – glad your a new co-host! BTW, I love your new background – the fall leaves are so pretty. Anyways – interesting you posted about a vet visit – our mythbuster today is about Pet Wellness (for Pet Wellness Month) and I talk about vet visits! Perfect timing.

  2. Hi 2 Brown Dawgs! Happy TNT. I’m excited to co-host this Thursday blog hop with you. Thanks for the spiffy intro. And it’s funny how you spell out V-E-T & B-A-T-H…don’t use any of those buzzwords around us! Woof!

  3. Welcome Ruckus. We have alot of fun here and plenty of beautiful pictures filled with lots of education we all can learn from. Hoping to hear alot from you.

  4. Yes welcome Ruckus. Noooo we read the bath word. Yikes. My peeps has to shut all the doors to stop me drying myself on assorted soft furnishings. LOL. Have a tremendous Thursday.
    Best wishes Molly

  5. Hi Y’all!

    Hello Ruskus! My Human loves doggies with long white hair…when she was a baby her folks had a Somoyed…so she’s partial to fluffy white paws.

    I don’t mind going to the vet until I’m in “the exam room”…then I try to escape by rearin’ up and openin’ the door…but they have knobs to open their doors! Paws and knobs don’t go…:(

    You sure that picture is a sunrise? Kind of looks like when we burn the wetlands…only upside down!

    Y’all come by now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog

  6. How fun to have Ruckus as a cohost! We found him through triberr and have been reading his posts. I feel for the two going to the vet, never a visit for “fun”, and then a bath, poor Freighter, what else could go wrong. Hope he got some nice treats for all that trouble.

  7. Fun times with a new co-host, congratulations!!

    I don’t know what it is about baths that give dogs the zoomies, but my dogs do it too. It’s funny but with big dogs you have to step back, they can easily do some serious damage. 🙁

    Love the picture of the sunrise, I’m not generally up that early to check that out for myself. 🙂

  8. Mostly dry in just a shake or two. That’s just … just … they can do that?

  9. Kind of a tough week for the dogs…the vet is never fun and let’s not talk about baths…At least you knew the sun would be coming out 🙂 Had to laugh at flea’s comment…Labs, like Chessies, do dry off really quickly…Gizmo takes a whole lot longer to dry than Murphy ever did

    1. Doh! Where’s my head at today…Welcome to TnT Thursday Ruckus!It’s great having a co-host join in the fun and you’ll bring that whole West Coast vibe 😉 Glad you’re here!

  10. The V-E-T and a B-A-T-H?? Oh Brown Dawgs, tell your humans you can’t have such undignified events happen so close together.
    Love the smiley, wiggly picture of Freighter at the vet. Wish mine could look half that happy about tolerating a vet visit.

  11. Welcome to Ruckus as co-host! What a beautiful sunrise photo. Poor Freighter v-e-t and b-a-t-h! Oh well, these things have to be done. And he looks so handsome after his bath. When we finally got Sheba a bath it stopped all her itching too. I think she also had a lot of dead fur, she had been shedding like crazy and had some mats too (lucky for you those short haired dogs don’t get those mats).

  12. When humans start spelling, it means N-O G-O-O-D. Something must be in the air because we gots B-A-T-H-S this week too.

  13. Poor Freighter. The V.E.T. and a B.A.T.H. all in one week. 🙁
    At least Storm only had one horror.
    Lucky Thunder.

  14. Lovely sunrise pic and fall theme 🙂 Ahhh… don’t we all hate visits to the vet and shower stall over here!!! 😛 Have a great weekend!!

  15. Beautiful sunrise! Maya loves the vet. It doesn’t matter what she has to go for. She loves it. Pierson is the complete opposite. He is naturally a skittish dog from his breed but he completely freaks out at the vet. I’ve never seen him so scared in any other situation. Thankfully, both Maya and Pierson are great at baths. They actually love the rinse part. And both get the post bath zoomies.

  16. I’m pretty obsessed with sunsets recently and that one is very pretty! Poor dawgs, a v-e-t visit and a b-a-t-h abrewing.

  17. Great TNT! Great news about Rukus being the co host! Wonderful!! I was wondering if you were going to have co hosts. Your welcome for the shampoo. I just bathed my whole gang today with it. I think it leaves their coats really soft.

  18. Beautiful sunrise! Our V-E-T recommended that we bring a couple of our guys in for social visits and treats to overcome their stigma of the V-E-T. Maybe that’s why dentists give you a treat or a prize when you visit them?
