Long day with dog

I have come to the conclusion that I will never, ever finish putting all the hair on this dog. It’s 2:30 a.m. I have to go back tomorrow to put more on. I’ll show you photos later, if I don’t go insane first.

    Go talk to the director, “Can’t you JUST tell them that the abused dog is also suffering from hair loss as a result?”

      Oh, wouldn’t that be lovely…

    It’s called mange. It’ll add “character” to the prop, right?

    So, do you see dog hair in your sleep?

      I’m seeing it in my sleep mostly because it sticks to me, no matter how much I think I’ve gotten off. Alas, this is not a job for the furminator.

    Are you sure that when you fire a shotgun at close range to the dog that it won’t catch the hair on fire? That would really make you crazy.

      We switched to black hair, just in case. In theory, the gun will not be touching the dog, but we’ll see how that actually goes.
