Relationships and Fun

You brush out dogs and then they play. I have to laugh. Nathan tells everyone it takes 5 minutes to groom out a dog. Believe me it takes more than 5 minutes if you are actually combing them out everywhere. Jeannie has very thick hair that I thin out every now and then but when it is thick it takes me 20 minutes to go section to section. There is combing and then there is combing. hahahaha So if he tells you 5 minutes and it takes you 10 minutes don't think you are inept. The number of days you do not groom between the longer your grooming session will be. The dirtier the coat is, the longer the grooming session will be. A clean coat can be done quickly. A dirty coat not. If you wash with mats they will get tighter so you want to get the knots out before washing.
That's my grooming tip of the day.
Jeannie and Raven have an amazing relationship. Each morning Raven bangs up against her mom trying to engage her in play and they do play. Raven is Jeannie's first pup that remained here so their bond is great.
Now I am off to groom Tenshi. What a smiley face gal she is all day long. It's delightful.
Tomorrow I am cooking a prime rib roast. Nathan found one on sale and I make a great one. It will be my first roast in the new oven.
The dogs will be feasting this weekend - lucky them! Lucky us.
Clarity and Farley have joined us today and they are truly enjoying themselves.
Little by little I am getting baths done. Tomorrow Logan, Panda, Raven and Stormy and my regulars. Busy day tomorrow.

Pretty Girl, Clarity likes to climb.
Farley, you have the goofiest look
Love and miss you both.
I'm such a newbie, it still takes me 20 mins every day to comb and brush. And that's only one dog... And if I skip one day, I actually feel like my day is incomplete, go figure.
Sylvia: Your dog does not have any knots. Better longer than glossing over knots that can fester into huge knots.
Christine:
Clarity LOVES to climb!
Darlah, we totally relate to your comments about grooming. People ask us all the time....bottom line, daily grooming and regular bath will keep the daily grooming time to a minimum.
Great gallery, Tenhsi is a true beauty!
Can you imagine how excited Raven will be when Jeannie has puppies for her to play with!!!
Raven is out of her mind crazy to see Saffron's pups but they are still too young.
Great pictures Darlah...your dinner plans sound scrumptious..I'm sure the dogs will agree! Marco looks so happy and seems to be having a ball. Thanks for the grooming tips, any advice is greatly appreciated! Hugs to everyone from Spain
I have been out of the loop with a bad cold. Just catching up. Darlah how is your cold? Such beautiful pictures. They all look so loving and adorable. I agree with you about grooming. Sometimes Rusty is in bed with Elana before I get to him so we do not groom everyday but he loves sitting on me in the tv room and falls asleep while I groom. Don't always get the tummy. Don't want to disturb him (haha).
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy the festivities. I think I will get a turkey too. Darlah you make it sound yummy! Enjoy!!
