I will have to say, I did not wake up this morning thinking that I would watch a video of camel grooming.

Camel kissing the camera 🤣. If she would have tried to scratch put her shedding hair naturally, she’d probably demolish whatever she was rubbing on. I can’t help but wonder if she might enjoy rubbing and scratching herself with the pasture or barn-mounted brushes you see being used for cattle? Cows seem to really enjoy rubbing themselves on the brushes, wait g in line behind herd mates for their turn for a good scratch. I’ve seen cattle brushes installed on a vertical pole so they could reach it from any angle, while others are suspended above the animals. The looks on their faces when scratching, show they truly are enjoying a good scratch!

Pass me some of that shit… I’m losing my hair from Covid 😂😂 at age 34…. I had beautiful luxury hair… now it’s thinning and playing peek a boo with my hairline.
