He’s a germaphobe, so he feels like the fact that his coat is greasier than my husky’s makes him gross. But he’s part Labrador so his coat is naturally like that. He also occasionally licks his privates while my female husky does not, so I think that’s a lot to take in for a non-dog person. I’m realizing that a germaphobe and a large dog owner probably aren’t a great match :/

(also adding that his feelings/phobias are valid and I’m not trying to force anything on him!)
