Getting Ready - Part 2

Not only do Pete and I need to get ready for this adventure, but Mazy does too. The last time we camped in the heat in Alberta and Montana she suffered with hotspots and insect bites exacerbated by her heavy coat. So this week it was time for a trip to the groomers for a serious trim.

The old girl was pretty shaggy prior to the grooming.

Now she is a little less so:

The groomer used a technique she called tunnelling to shave down her belly so that she will benefit from any coolness in the ground when she's lying down outside. It looks a bit strange but, hopefully, it will work and she will be more comfortable if the mercury climbs as we head east and south.

Now if we could just find a similar solution to cope with her hyper anxiety in electrical storms!
