Sunday - Faye came for grooming (1.21.07)

My friend Faye came over this morning for grooming. We don't live very close to each other so we only see each other on special occasions such as this. Both STINKY and I were in the garage at first while Faye was being groomed, but apparently we were being too distractive and mum made Faye's ear bleed........ (right... blame it on us) The good thing is Faye didn't even notice her ear was cut, mum only found out when she saw blood. Did I tell you mum did the same thing to my one ear when I was 3 months old? She was trying to cut my glued ears lose, and she cut my ear instead. I didn't cry or even flinch and again, mum only found out after she saw her hand was covered in blood. (shhhh.... don't tell her I told you guys this, or I'll be in deep trouble..)

While Faye was on the grooming table, STINKY was trying to play with Georgie from outside the cage. He was the distractive one. Then STINKY got accidentally stepped on by Faye's dad, and he cried (of course, he's a boy). STINKY was limping and not wanting to put his foot down (of course, he's a boy), so mum got a little worried and put him in the crate, and shot me upstairs.

I didn't want to be inside and asked to be let out to the yard, even tho it was raining. I really love my yard you know? Anyway, I thought about my New Years Resolution and how I hadn't really been able to do # 5 due to the weather,

(this is just to refresh your memory)


So I thought I would make mum proud by doing what I resolved to do - some landscaping. I walked around the yard, checking the Feng Shui (sp??), and decided it made more sense for me to make # 11. # 10 can come later (mum: NOT!).


I took a rest in # 11. Landscaping is hard work!!


I was expecting lots of praises from mum you know? I mean, shouldn't she be proud of her hard working dogter who works RAIN or shine?? Plus, she should appreciate the fact that she'd have that much less grass to mow in the summer.


But NOOOOOOO........ she made me wash my feet, and even my NOSE! What an ungrateful mum she is!! Anyway, I waited inside while mum finished up Faye. I was expecting to wait for a few hours you know, since it takes mum at least 4 hours to groom me. Much to my surprise, Faye was done in less than 2 hours all together. Mums says Faye doesn't have half as much coat as I do.

I grew this much coat in 10 weeks time.



Faye grew this much coat in 4 months.



This is Faye after grooming,



Mum barely had to trim her face around the muzzle, and only had to take very little off her legs.


Gee... I wish I had Faye's coat, 2 hours every four months sounds way better than 4 hours every 6-8 weeks!!

Faye and I went for a walk together after she got groomed. We wanted to go for a looong walk, so we PULLED!! However, those hoomans didn't seem to like the rain too much and we only got a mini 20 min walk...

Before going on the walk, I let Faye choose a few things from my KONG box, and she took these:

(HMMMMPH! I want those too....... stupid wheat allergy)


Like me, Faye loves the Air Dog squeaky ball, she couldn't wait to start playing with it.
