My friend Rachel, her husband Kirk and their dog Mandi are traveling around the US in a 32 foot motorhome. They have been doing this for quite a while now. They finally made it down to Key West. After only a day here in Key West Rachel got news that her Grandfather has passed away in his sleep. Travel arrangements were made and I agreed to watch Mandi. Mandi is a mix of Chow, Newfoundland and Border Collie/Australian Shepard. Grace absolutly loves Mandi. She chases her around the house until Mandi just gives up and hides.
Mandi is a sweet four year old black dog with a long thick coat. In most parts of the US the dark, long thick coat is no problem, here in Key West we are beginning to see temperatures in the mid 80's with 90% humidity. Two days after Rachel and Kirk entrusted me with Mandi's care I noticed she was getting some hot spots. I followed vet recommended advice and had her groomed and sheared. Mandi now looks like a lab. Grace is still having a great time playing with her and Mandi has been so kind to Grace and even tried to comfort Grace after she had to have blood drawn and was being a drama queen.
Below are pictures of Grace and Mandi playing together.
