Splish Splash

This morning I took Gizzy to Splish Splash Pet Styling, Gizzy's first grooming and he's 14 1/2 years old. Laini, the groomer, said he did really well for his first time. I was there watching the whole thing; only, he did growl at her a couple of times (sorry Laini!), but she just kept on smiling and talking to him and nobody got hurt. You can tell she really knows her dogs. She used to be a trainer/handler and is a very kind and sweet person.

Laini and Gizzy before

He's trying to be difficult with her, but she won't let him!

He wasn't happy with the clippers near his neck and ears

Lani did two clippings because Peke's have a thick undercoat. One before the bath and one after the bath to trim him up nicely! I asked for the puppy cut since it's so hot right now.

She talked to him and in this photo you can tell they really connected!

Bath time! Mommy, help me!

That wasn't so bad, Gizzy, was it?

Hang on, Gizzy - that's a powerful blow dryer!

Thank you Laini, from Splish Splash Pet Styling, for a most wonderful experience and making my boy feel so comfortable. We'll be back!

On the way home we stopped at Banks Lake Outpost to let Gizzy prance and show off his new hair cut. I can't believe he's got legs!

Back at home a few photos on the La-Z-Boy:

That's enough for one morning, Ma, I'm tired!

Zzzzzzzzzzzz!

Extra bonus:

I got a big pile of Gizzy fur for spinning into yarn. I just have to find a kind Rumpelstiltskin to spin this for me. (with pay, of course!) Any takers?

I want to crochet a couple of Christmas balls out of Gizzy-yarn for my Christmas tree this year!
