Yup brushing is one of her chores. Problem is she isn't big enough to give them baths yet and I somehow get stuck with that job every time. And the brushing and hair clipping and nail clipping and earcleaning duties that come along with it. Which I dont really mind too much except for the day of pain afterwards. The local puppy parlors up here are so EXPENSIVE!! Just to do my usual routine with the lab they wanted $75. Which I normally do once a month, and that didn't even include the boxer.
