I need to stop skimming. I thought this thread was about golden showers.

The dog lives in Florida with my parents. It's never winter there. The dog sheds like none other, and I guess they got tired of the hair all over the place. My dad claims she is not sad or embarassed, just scared of a thunderstorm.

The dog is 12, and has had a white face for a long time. She has gotten very white lately though.

i have a golden and my understanding is that it is bad to shave them. they get sun burned quickly w/out their fur and their fur actually keeps them cooler.
