Really had fun with the Speedy Design Cntest. Great job Bryce Porter and Churu Yun. Hope everyone has an excellent New Year!!!!
Saw a Briard at the West Michigan Harvest Cluster Dog show. The breed is from France and is part of the herding group. This is a demanding dog in that they need ample exercise, and grooming.
Went out of town, had to board Cocoa at his vets. Love the vets office, cute little farm, horses in the fields, perfect. They started a new service with some groomers offerings cuts and baths. Would Cocoa like a bath and a simple cut? No, Cocoa wouldn’t, but I would like him to have a nice bath and puppy cut. Went to pick him up…..ooooh ummmm he looks like some form of Yoda sporting a jaunty bandana . The groomer shore him down, but couldn’t do his face because he wouldn’t let her. I know he’s spoiled, and he has a certain groomer that he lets her do his face. I feel like I can’t go back to his groomer because she will feel as though we cheated on her!!! Tail between our legs we will return to our dear groomer. Lesson: Don’t “cheat” on your groomer or you may end up as a Star Wars character, with or without a bandana.
Ok the tribe has spoken: Cocoa has a classic poodle cut but not his usual lion cut. Here he is with Sherman, (Sherman is sporting a white mohawk), with his groomer Melissa. I love Avalon salon in Grand Rapids, MI. They don’t have a web page, but need one. I had him shampooed, conditioned, detangled, cut, perfumed and had a bow tie added–we are going to Detroit Rock City (Hockeytown) for Thanksgiving! I actually like him scruffy and non-poodle looking, but he smells good enough to eat! This puppymill rescue pet I found on www.petfinder.com has come a long way. Can’t wait to see the cousins. I heard Lola has some new threads…You’ll see her on the next post. Just started twittering, you can follow me on twitter.com. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ok in these rough economic times isn’t everyone wondering what would Cocoaleo do? Well, right now, he is getting ready to go visit his cousin Lola (a Chihuahua) in Detroit Rock City (a.k.a Hockeytown) for Thanksgiving. It’s cold here in Michigan so I need to decide to get his regular lion’s cut or go with a teddy bear. I thought maybe his fans could decide. Is this too much?
Also, Amy ,the cool librarian sent me some great new pet articles in them I found a new blog http://www.scratchingsandsniffings.com/ This seems like a pretty up-to-date blog with good information. Another new one I found is http://www.pawfun.com. Watch Benny roll over,cause you won’t find any fancy tricks like that here.
