Chance: The Grooming

HiYa!  It is me Chance.  I had a grooming appointment.  Far Side made it.  She said my hair was too long.  I had too many tangles..nothing about me was making her happy except my kisses.  I was bringing home seeds and who knows what in my long fur…not to mention that my anal glands needed to be expressed and my toe nails clipped.  

I was SO EXCITED  I got to go with Far Side to work.  I got to ride in front and everything!  But then she stopped before she got to work and dropped me off..I was stranded at the Spa…alone.   Well not really alone, other victims were there too, lots of dogs and a cat. 

Far Guy came and rescued me late in the afternoon.   Far Guy has no comment.  Far Side said I look quite handsome and cooler.  Noah said “WHO shaved Chance.”

Shaved??  Have I been shaved??

Oh no! Not an anal gland expression:) Despite being manually worked over in such a humiliating way, you are looking quite handsome in your short summer coat. Next time Far Side offers the front seat for a ride though, I would skedaddle someplace else if I were you.

Very handsome.

Hubby will not let me cut any of Maggie's hair, it must be brushed all the time. I trimmed a few feathers one time and was sent to the dog house.

Well, dear Chance my favorite blogging doggy, you look pretty darn spiffy if you ask me. Far Side has your best interests at heart.

Oh chance! you look great, and I would think much cooler too. Our security guard Fluffy Jo hates getting his hair cut, he just walks around all matted.....maybe that's part of what makes him so good at his job! the down side for him is that he doesn't get to come inside.

Chance - you are looking just gorgeous with your haircut and grooming. You might not like the process but the result is just great.

Boy, Boomer and I both agree the anal gland thing is soooooooo embarassing. I like getting shaved, Boomer doesn't have too.

You're looking quite dapper, Chance!

Quite dapper, there, Chance. It's amazing what a little time at the spa can do for a person...or pooch.

Patsy said...

You look great!

LOL! Oh dear... but you will be cooler in that new haircut. And you still look sweet! I promise.

Barney is getting a lot more brushing than normal and he could use a trim. I don't think he would do well at the barbers though. for as good as he is we put a strap thing over his nose just in case while at the vets as he may think he needs to protect himself. He is like a wild dog sometimes but we love him.

Chance, you are VERY handsome in your new cut. (plus, I didn't know you could take border collies to the groomers)

I had definately told them NOT to clip Odda, but they did that to her too! So made me mad, and at first wasn't sure but then as I looked closer I could see on her neck the difference where the hair should have been longer on her chest. So should we do our own bath days!!!!
