CARRLEIGH GETS A TURN

Once Lilly was finished with her transformation,
Mom decided Carrleigh
would be next.

Carr is a portly girl
who starts looking a bit like a sheep
when she needs grooming.



Here she is before
Mom got a hold of her.
Eyebrows so long
you can barely see her eyes.


And here's our beautiful girl
after her turn on the grooming table -
even the wind cooperated with her
and she thought she was a model
as it blew across her face.

Who will be next?
Only the exhausted Mom
knows for sure.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Ruairi

    What a difference a grooming session makes! I'd be interested in knowing how Carrleigh reacted just after the grooming was completed. Does she prance around the house or roll on the floor or jump on couches and chairs? Our coonhound, Daisy, does all 3 of those things after she has a bath and it's quite funny to see her looking so pleased with herself!

    Rory may have a new crush, Lynn! Nice work; I know how hard it is to keep them from looking like wild highlanders! Hugs!

    Carrleigh - not portly, just nicely rounded, surely?

    Your Mummy did a beautiful job!
    Carrleigh looks great, she must have been so patient to sit through all that.
    I dislike getting groomed :P

    Love, Bella & Ollie.

    Hello Carrleigh,

    You are so pretty with you new do! Good thing we don't get groomed by Piappies Mom. We --- Fudgie, Wai-Pai, Wai-Max & Frappie do have a bit furry fur. Usually though we got our bad fur days when our tail tussles on our back fur. Wai-Max had that during our last bath time and he looked so silly! heehee

    Love,
    Piappies Fudgie, Princess, Frappie, Mocha, Sugar, Wai-Pai & Wai-Max

    You've set a good example. Friday Rob shaved five girls and yesterday he shaved three boys. Now we just need some facial trimming.

    She looks beautiful. Pippen just told me he's glad we aren't your neighbors because he has a feeling that he might be next. :D He would be right!! He's beginning to look like a little fluffy lamb. Happy Sunday!

    Honestly. Truth be told. We think we might be next.

    Which might not be a bad thing, if we come out looking a beautiful as Carrleigh.

    Just wondering. And waiting.

    She looks beautiful all spiffed up! I finally got Oliver groomed yesterday. Now need to do Baggins. He has SO much thick coat, I may as well be grooming a bear! I hope the clippers survive ;-)
