Life is Better with Sheltie Hair: Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning

I admit it, I have been slacking off in the grooming department. My excuses? Well, with Gio being ill he hasn't been going on his therapy dog visits, so I haven't been as diligent with feet trimming and grooming as I normally am. And Romeo, well I really don't have an excuse, except for the fact that stripping him out is such a daunting task I prefer to ignore it most of the time.

But I finally broke down and decided that a good stripping and brush out was long over due.

Which leads me to this very important declaration ...

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ... I LOVE MY FURMINATOR!!

I believe I was able to strip 2.38 Miniature Poodles out of my two boys.

Proof? You want proof? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE PROOF!!

(ahem ... sorry ... moving on)

He is retired from flyball due to poor health, but still enjoys competing in CARO Rally-O. He is a certified therapy dog with St. John Ambulance and loves visiting "his ladies" at various nursing homes in Saskatoon and area. He recently received his PEN from the CKC began competing in CKC obedience and Rally-O in fall of 2008.
