I have no lj expertise to share. I'm still fumbling along trying to locate friends and family, so I'll move on to your second question.
Wet dog gets my vote. In the summers I spend a lot of time taking my dogs to various bodies of water. Shadow, being a big, black, hugely furred dog, gets very uncomfortable in the heat. The only good way to cool her down is to take her to water and let her sit until it has lowered her body temp and then let evaporation keep her comfortable for as long as possible. Amusingly, Buddy, our smaller dog, hates the smell. He's only voluntarily been wet once and he religiously avoids the smell. I don't mind it; in fact, I kinda like it. Probably because I associate it with dogly happiness. A wet lab is a happy dog.
