I think my Basset is related to Michael Jackson!

Christmas is a few days away, and I thought as its only been a couple weeks since bath and brush at the groomers that I'd brush the clan myself!

Brushed and nail clipped Ethel, Rufie and Buddy, with no excitement, then came Eclairs turn, nails no problem, but every time I gave her a brush (with a vey soft bristled brush I might add), the crazy hound did the Michael Jackson moon walk and then sprinted upstairs and back down in 30 seconds.

I am convinced this dog has a scew loose, anyone elses dog crazy for brush time?

Barney HATES to be brushed but LOVES me to scratch him all over real hard. I considered getting a "love glove" ???

(I think that's what they're called) but feel pretty sure he'd want to rip it off and chew it up. Does anyone use one of those?

I tried the "love glove" and it didn't take off much hair. I now use a Furminator which is excellent at taking out hair but not loved by Monty. I have to do one side at a time!
