Chance: Self Serve Dog Spa

Yes, you heard that right.  Far Side found a place you can take a dog for a bath and not make a huge mess at home.  Far Side said I wasn’t quite as handsome as I could be, and she thought my fur felt grungy.  I had to curtail the big chipmunk hunt.  She made Far Guy come along to the “spa.”

I have been to that place before. The last time I was left there for the afternoon.  This time I walked right into THAT room and up the ramp into the shower..I astounded them all.  Well I am a Border Collie and we are pretty smart as dogs go.

Well…they double teamed me…what Far Guy wasn’t washing Far Side was rinsing.  The “Spa” provides the hypoallergenic shampoo that I needed and towels ...lots of towels.  Then I was blown dry.  Far Side finally said “Gosh you feel good to pet again.” She looked funny covered in hair.   I guess I am “blowing my coat”..otherwise known as shedding a lot…most likely from the hot spell we had a few weeks back.

 

After the bathWe came home and they brushed and brushed..until I was deemed the most handsome Border Collie in all of the Midwest Minnesota.

I went right back to chipmunk patrol duty.

Waiting for chippys

Most handsome...and sparkly too. The white in your coat is practically gleaming. Far Side and Far Guy are excellent spa shampooers. Oh Chance, you look even more huggable than ever.

Wow! That last picture shows what a fine looking coat you have, Chance. And yes, you are certainly a smart dog! :-)

You do look very lovely in your black and white, and fluffy too. I know it's rude to comment on someone's weight, but me thinks that Far Side and Far Guy are being pretty liberal with the dog treats:) Or maybe that is all fur?

How nice of them not to post any embarrassing pictures of you all wet in the tub.

I think I need to do that!

Muffie said...

You're such a cutie, Chance! You must be extremely well behaved to stay so still during your treatments!
Peace,
Muff

You are a lucky dog that Far Side will look after you well and keep you comfortable and clean.
