got a good schnaff brushing today. he is in shed mode - but i also haven't brushed him in a while. i am terrible. he deserves better. i am trying. thank goodness he is not a long haired boy nor does he need brushing for any real true reason. he feels better after being brushed i'm sure and it helps to prevent hairballs and the like but it is not strictly necessary thankfully since i am not great at being consistent with it on a schedule. i do it, but it's not on schedule.
