Washing Too Often?

Risa had a bath yesterday. I washed again today trying out a new shampoo conditioner spray combination. It's an all natural - good for the skin type of stuff. It did make the hair way soft but not controllable. I did get a natural shine from it. Do I like it? The verdict is still out. Ask me in a few days. I do adore the grooming spray.

This is what Risa looked like before her daily grooming. She feels to die for - more manageable than yesterday and it makes you want to snuggle for long periods of time so she has been in the recliner with me when I can get her away from playing with Mia. Yep - she was off playing with Mia today. Just when you think the old gal is all played out, she goes and fools you. Don't just ASSUME they are too old for such things.

We have a strong skunk smell in our yard. It must have sprayed somewhere around in our yard or the next. It's driving me crazy as I am always on high alert when I smell such. I guess I would get my shampoo workout if a Havanese got sprayed.

It's raining off and on and I like the dawgs clean. How much is too much washing? Well, when you are drying out the coat and damaging it, that's a good sign but you can damage a coat other ways. What's too long? When it's dirty and you keep getting mats at the touch - well then it is probably overdue.

Daisy Leaves Us

Daisy Freshly BathedI didn't know which to show you first.

The freshly bathed Daisy going home or the dawg that was having such a splendid time that I had to brush her several times a day as she just got trees, dirt and all sorts of things stuck in her coat.

I can't believe they are the same dog but after I bathed her, I had to keep her in my office while I groomed the other dogs just to stop her from getting dirty yet again.

Remy and Daisy was awaiting for her to come back out and get into her usually messy fun status.

But she is now at home and Remy and Treasure are playing with each other but missing the Daisy.

This is what Daisy looked like as much of the day as she possibly could muster up. Coco and Zack also helped this state of Daisy along as they did the chase game through brush and mud.

But it was so much fun. I think Daisy got brushed and combed more than anyone else.

Personally, I like to brush dawgs in the morning and be done with it but with puppies and rain and mud, well it's often 4 or 5 before I am done. hehehehe

Check out some photos from today and yesterday, here.

The weather has become cooler. The game of get the ball is something they all adore.

Life is fun with a bunch of Havanese!

Tomorrow Zack and Coco go home and Remy is our only visitor till Cesar arrives then Remy goes home and Jay arrives the next day. March disappears and so does another birthday for me and Whitney.

Remy - he finally has his groove on. It's nice!
