Wet Warmish Then Sun

Can we tell it is spring? Yep!

Here is the gallery.

Cooper had his thin out session this morning - each day and his hair now feels silky and thin. I have been using Ouidad Detangling spray. His hair should be extra conditioned now. LOL It is meant for humans with curls which I do not have. But someone said you must try so I did. It's pricey but nice! I did try dog shampoo and conditioner that Dorothy brought me and it made my hair greasy. LOL Did try it on one dog but not with draped hair and no difference. Dorothy suggested I try it on Cooper and Spicy when they depart in a few days but I think I will try it on another dog first as I want Cooper and Spicy going home silky true and tried but if it works on Saffron - perhaps. The duo goes home in a few days. How did that happen? You can stay longer - lol!

Our heater for our pool shuts off after 10 minutes. We are so frustrated. I guess more frustrated if it was hot. Water is only 51 and should be easily 70 by now.  

The dogs had wet. Cooper could care less. Spicy give me dry. The dogs are enjoying outside while Nathan figures out the heater. Me - I give up. The dogs are all congregated around him as if to say - what? 

Mr. Harper departed. A few dogs came for day visits. Lots go tomorrow and I have a ton of grooming to do on the nicest day of spring to come. Of course. Monday is the same. I am not done grooming the dogs yet. I do a couple here and there but always manage to finish but for now, Nathan got some vanilla ice cream and I am having a rootbeer float. I have not had one in EONS. Such a treat. I just wish it was Dairy Queen. LOL

The dogs are enjoying the day!

Great gallery. Russell can’t wait to give Cooper his first bath post thinning 👏 I bet he feels down right soft with all these products 😍

Yep, Miss Spicy doesn’t like wet. More often than not, when it’s raining, we carry her outside with a golf umbrella, then put her down, she knows the drill….pampered through and through 🥰

I find using the igroom on Leo best, since he is so cottony and mats badly so he might need more slickness?
Pixie can use anything.
Oh, well, I still like it.😁

Dorothy: It depends on the hair and yes more cottony makes sense. It was greasy for MY HAIR. LOL I have many that are cottony so it is most appreciated and will go to good use. Nice shampoo and conditioner for the right hair type. I do like it. I have a routine with Cooper and Spicy., I actually give them a treatment with Summerwinds products including a clarifier but it is very hard to get and high priced due to duties. It lasts as I do not use it on everyone. I will try it on Saffron. She is due for a wash.

Ms Spicy is a prima donna. I so laugh. With all the rain, she adores laying on the blankets and pillows on the couch and looking out or greeting people at the door. She insists on being the 1st to greet.
