Climb Overs

Beau (lovely, lovely fun pup) already departed after grooming and Chloe (equally fun and playful) just finished her grooming and is soon to depart. Tomorrow Jesse and Murphy departs and girl Murphy and Gucci comes.

Here is today's gallery.

I am spent. I simply had too much time intensive grooming today. I am looking forward to Ribfest with Sherry tomorrow. I need a day off sorely. 

Had a dog here that I didn't get a photo of and it looked like Edward Scissorhands got a hold of it but not in a nice way. They also have a schnauzer that belongs to the daughter and he's chewed his hair up, ears, body. This happens to Cinnamon as she plays so hard with Inula but we cut him down and his mom called me to say she can't believe how good he looks. She says he looks like a normal dog now. She says she can't stop staring at him. That felt good. So silver linings in all this work.

Pepper and Scruffy arrived. I love when they come! Brewer just departed. Everyone loves the Brewer. 

No swimming except Lennon. No down time. Stick play with Lennon. No more scratching his back on the Japanese maple. I trimmed it up so it doesn't look all that bad. LOL

Time to crawl on the couch and fall asleep. Too early for that. But boy do I want to!

Cinnamon is now away from the boys and when it is time she will be bred. It means fall pups. Thank you for cooperating and giving us the summer off. We shall see who else comes in.

Just a thank you to Nathan on the topic of grooming. My Zoey had her spay surgery 2 weeks ago and I got her a surgical onesie instead of the" cone of shame "
The onesie worked well and she didn't mind having it on. Nathan told me to be sure to remove it once a day and check for mats as that is an issue with the suit.
You were so right Nathan .I am so happy for the tip as there were mats every day but I was able to keep on top of it because of your heads up. It is so nice to have such knowledgeable people as Darlah and Nathan to give us advise. You both go above and beyond for the dogs and their families... Susan

Lennon looks like he enjoys stick play. Love to see Jessie with the smaller dogs. Your new grooming sink and set up looks terrific. It is important to have a comfortable working space.
