Prim and Proper

It was time to get Daphne to the groomers. Her hair was so thick and matted that the Furminator brush that I use on Brooklyn would not even touch her!  The following 2 pictures show the before treatment.

the next two show the after effect. They took about half the hair out which still left  her with lots!

After

 Right now she is like a big cotton ball, all soft and fluffy!

Spa Day for the Princess

Yesterday was Spa day for Brooklyn. She had a bunch of tangles, unshed undercoat and a very oily coat. It was a three hour grooming including 4 (Four) shampoos to get the oil off.They trimmed her up nice.

 Now she is shining,smelling great and looking more like a thoroughbred Golden Retriever. She was very well behaved and accepted treats graciously. No one got bit!  Next week it's Daphne's turn

AFTER

Spa Day for the Princess

Bending down and combing Brooklyn for an hour every second day was kind of hard on the back, so I decided to take her to a doggie groomer for a bath, blow dry, and trim, with emphasis on removing the heavy undercoat that Retrievers get.. Note the long belly hair and excess leg hair. Nope, I did not opt for the wax job. :-}

The next three photos are the after shots. She looks a lot better and hopefully, a lot cooler.

It will be a shame to take her over to the park and swim her.

 Her coat is just like silk at the moment.

 Happy dog!
