Today's big transformation.*
* I do not support shaving double coated dogs. This was a comfort groom. This girl was completely matted/pelted, to the point her skin was bruised. There was no saving the coat.
@JeSsA We have brushed wolf fur when they start to shed undercoat and filled up 13 gallon trash bags. We used to trade it to a Dine lady at PowWows.
@Wolfman I believe it!! That undercoat is like down! I've saved trashbags full of hair for clients and random folks who have come in and asked. At gome, I've put it in suet feeders and the birds pull it out for their nests
@JeSsA The Dine Woman we traded with spun it into wool thread and made sweaters out of it.
@Wolfman ohh wow! That is so interesting! I've heard of skinwalkers, of course, see the term used, unsensitively, for too often, but was unaware that wolves were believed to be them, by the Navajo.
@JeSsA I was a bit surprised at her for doing that. The Navajo believe that wolves are skinwalkers. But over the years of visiting different Tribal Nations I see the differences in Traditional Culture and a more progressive culture.
