All of the dogs have been blowing coat and depositing it throughout the house. I have never taken a dog to a groomer but enough was enough. My dogs love their pedicurist. Shout out to Doggie Doos and Don'ts owner Rachael! They really do get very excited when Rachael comes to the house. Rachael also owns a Laundromutt. As she left my house with a new fur coat, she suggested that I bring the dogs to get them "groomed".

"Mom, (you fill in here)?"
Much better getting rinsed and dried.
Double team blow out.
Almost dry
The last touches on beautiful Cedar.
Trask was in the next tub over - a total spa experience for grandson and grandma.
Trask kept up a very verbal commentary about the experience. Notice the placement of the soon-to-be-on-the-floor bottles.
Moving the bottles to the guarded back of the tub kept them within reach but they still did not stand a chance with his tail.
Trask wasn't completely excited about the wash cycle.
"Not so bad".
"Hey guy, you are washing on my private parts."
"Not in the face!"
"Enough already!"
"Whoa, that's interesting".
Double teamed.
Trask seemed to really enjoy the blowers.
He got his nose out of joint when they were turned off. (Actually he was trying to start a howl-in with the German Shepard a couple tubs down but I love the pose.)

Ullr is our guest for a couple of weeks. I couldn't resist a group picture before everyone rolled in the mud and worse.
"OK, where are the cookies. Time to get dirty. We are out of here!"
I was so happy with Trask and Cedar. There were other not-very-happy-about-the-bath-thing dogs in the room. Cedar was totally quiet and once dry, kept her tail wagging. Trask maintained a running dialog but nothing was aimed at the other dogs or the groomers. His tail swayed constantly. Both dogs ignored the other dogs. This was a new, very stressful, experience for them. I couldn't have been prouder.
