The Kona After grooming/haircutTeddy after bath Just a trimBoth just departed. It reminds me how dirty the city streets can be after a rainstorm. I washed Teddy with a brightening shampoo twice. I laugh. He doesn't mind. He's such a good boy. He's a dog that doesn't mind a bath or a trim.

Kona is amazing for his bath. He snuggles and cuddles me and it becomes a fun game with him. I have to remind him to stay still when I have scissors and he does. 

Notice they both have the tongue thing going on.

We took a slew of photos this morning. Coco and Doozie was double teaming Ella. It was a riot. I usually do not see them doing the team play. Sure they play with everyone but this was different as they helped each other trying to deak Ella out. I laughed. 

Jiggs arrived and is back playing like crazy. 

I must admit after grooming I went outside for a few minutes to capture the crew. The pups are playing like crazy. Mabel jumped on my shoulders as I sat pawing at Velvet as if to say nay nay you can't get me.

So where's the photos? I didn't have a card in the camera and I am so miffed as I was so excited that I had such grand photos and then.... surprise.

Oh well, there are days like this...

Darlah, Kona feels wonderful, thank you. Glad that he behaved during the grooming. Sometimes he wants to lay down.
Teddy is a handsome boy..

Kathy:

He was fine standing for me while I cut his hair though he does get - oh hum this is too long to stand. Can you blame him? Love this new shampoo that I got from the states. It brightens up all coat colors and keeps it in good condition. I didn't use any grooming spray. Usually you have to use some.

Thank you so much for the peaches and the tip. So appreciated!!!

Sounds like one of the days when you lift up your hands and say "that's life" then you smile thinking of the positive side ... You got to spend time with the doggies and enjoy them. :) had a day like that, then came home to two fluffy bundles of joy that jumped all over me with tons of kisses, and I could feel the stress just evaporate as my focus turned 100% to them!

Oh my what beauties you are Kona and Teddy. I think Teddy is Rusty's brother. am I right?
