It was shortly before ring time and this Old English Sheepdog was having it’s fur blown dry after a bath.  This is the time when the handlers are hard at work putting the finishing touches on their dogs so that they look ‘just right’ when they enter the show ring.  So, how many of you use a blow dryer on your dog vs. letting them air dry?  My cats are terrified of loud noises like the vacuum cleaner so I’m thinking that blowing them dry with a hair dryer would be a very bad idea.  [Yes, I do bathe my cats from time to time.]
