Shedding

After Cooper spent a week in the kennel, he needed a bath.

I thought that during the bath, a lot of Coop's loose hair would come out and reduce his shedding.

Unfortunately, it seems the bath had the opposite effect. Ever since bath day, I have been brushing Coop and getting one or two handfuls of hair. On the positive side, Coop's coat is unbelievably soft and shiny.

In this photo Coop's coat is still damp. When he stands in the sunshine and the light reflects off his coat, I can understand why Coop was originally named Copper.
