Sleeping over at the Tudor's

While B. and I drove up to Brownsburg, Indianapolis, to hang out with the Rocks, Ireland stayed at the Tudors. She had a lot of fun playing with her friends Kenai and Elliet! It was her first sleepover since we rescued her from the pound, about two months ago. Ireland loves playing with kids so I don't think she missed us too much. Getting along with the Tudor's dog, a Chihuahua, was an entirely different matter!

Blowing her coat

Ireland's been shedding a lot of hair the past two weeks. I guess the proper term is " blowing her coat". Huskies will blow their coat about once a year, typically during the summer.

Brad's been trying to quicken the process a little, by using a comb to rake over Ireland's hair. Usually she enjoys it, unless the comb gets stuck in a knot of tangled hair.

The pile of hair in the picture below is what came off of her by just raking over her back and sides for a couple of minutes. By the time she's done shedding, the amount of hair she's lost could probably fill up a comforter...
