So on the long weekend, when we were SUPPOSED to be having joyful, fun-filled days of walks, treats and games, we also had several hours of not-so-much-fun. We were groomed. I had been brushed during the week, but after my bunny hunt, my coat had the addition of some "accessories" that my human felt needed to be removed. Sticks. Mud. Leaves. I was hoping she would just consider them fashion statements. But no such luck.
And poor Velcro dog had not been groomed in 6 months. OK. Maybe not THAT long. But a few weeks. So he had to undergo 12 hours of torture. I'm sure it felt that long to him. The only good thing about grooming - one gets copious amounts of treats. You see in the photos the pre and post grooming photos. Personally, I like the wild and wooly look.
But if I think OUR grooming is bad - check out THESE dogs:

Honestly, the whole grooming thing seems like such a futile effort. Within 16.9 seconds after the groom-a-thon is over, we shake ourselves off, or roll in the carpet so we no longer look all fluffy and perfect. Better yet, let us outside, and we'll roll in the grass. Let's face it, real WORKING sheepdogs don't smell all flowery and have clean feet. Mind you, they also like to herd sheep...And they probably don't bother munching on the sheep poop like we do. To each his own.
Well, it's another Tuesday. I hope your day is happy and groom free. Have a good one.
