Wilbur, Poppy & a blurred Pickles in Darland Woods
My two miniature Schnauzers (Pickles & Wilbur) were looking rather like teddy bears and suffering because of the heat. Actually, with Pickles fantastic beard, she looked more like a mountain goat!!!
I decided that today was the day I was going to get them sorted out. So I got out my old tools and set about tidying them up!
Wilbur is a darling. He adores the attention and just stands on my table patiently waiting for me to finish. Pickles however is another story, she is a proper little madam. I decided to leave her ears until last because she always gives the performance of a life time and today was no exception.
However, feeling better than I have in weeks, remembering just how much I love my chosen career, I had the patience of job as I set about making them pretty.
Wilbur stood below my table, catching Pickles hair as it fell then spitting it out, yuk!
Lastly came my friends Cairn Terrier, Poppy. She is a naggy little pooch and snaps all the time. However, I managed to groom and trim her without any major jaw snaps.
So now I have three very cool, very smart dogs and I feel great because I have made an achievement today!
My dog Lindsay is rapidly approaching time for a grooming! Surely the warm weather can't be too far in our future.
ReplyDeleteShe has such long hair we get it cut back dramatically for the summer and then she looks so skinny she could almost be another dog!
Glad you're feeling better!

ReplyDeleteHi Sara, glad you were feeling good enough to do 'normal things'! Sounds like you really enjoy it, and the pics are great.
