Sunday found me giving the two dackels hair trims. It’d been a while and both were overgrown and I also found their fur matted in places.
Both are elderly dogs and I just hate bothering them with stuff like this, but it had to be done. Tomorrow will be a bath day for both of them and me.
Currently, with their fur trimmed, they look absolutely adorable! After their baths, I will strip their coats when they are dry. Ah, this is nice for them. Less fur and no mats!
Here is Arnie after his trim. He’s a handsome boy with a full wire-haired coat. He takes a lot of work to strip and keep up with.
I must have taken a pound of fur off of him!
And, here is Anneliese. She has a shorter, tighter coat and it’s easier to take care of. She is also easier to do because she actually sits still!
So the pups are looking pretty spiffy and they even seem to have a spring in their step! Or at least they do for now. I’m sure when I get their baths done tomorrow in the sink they will be none too happy!
Arnie looks like he is giving you the stink eye for having bothered him.
Hehe, sounds like you bathe as often as you bathe your dogs.
Tracy, Yes, I was far from popular with either dog yesterday! I did give them treats, so that helped!
Andrew, I assure you I shower far more than I bathe the hounds! They really hate it. It’s also difficult duty to bathe them. Not as strong or as young as I once was!
