~ Tails Around the Ranch

Shhhhh, it’s Wednesday and that means someone is getting groomed today. Let’s hope a certain Ninja receives the ‘full treatment.’

Live, love, bark! ❤︎

  4. CC – Cristina is Italian born, and though she has lived most of her life all over the U.S. she considers herself Italian...she just can't speak it very well! As with many other things, she is working on that (although it's a bit harder the older she gets). Still, there are just so many hours in a day. After leaving the lovely climes of Southern California she went to the heat, humidity, and insect-infested state of Alabama. She struggled for five years to be a "big girl" amidst the crickets-on-steroids, the snakes, scorpions, and other creepy crawlers of the day (and night!). It really is true what they say; "It's a jungle out there!" After another stint in Northern Virginia she is trying once again to find a new normal (as well as some bliss) in her new state, Florida. Cristina is happily married to a loving husband and has two grown children. Her medium-standard poodle love crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 but he remains forever in her heart.

    Poodle drama for sure every five weeks or so. I hate that it’s so stressful for him but lord have mercy he looks (and smells) fabulous after the “ordeal.” I give him extra treats to soothe …and, I think he KNOWS how lovely he looks when all is said and done! He prances during his walk with a heightened air of sophistication as in “look at me, don’t I rock?”

      Both of mine hate it but thankfully tolerate. And yes, they do prance after a grooming. Cracks me up. Dragging butts until then but as soon as bathed and clipped, a quick step in the paws with heads held high. They are such dawgs! 🐩

  9. Oh Elsa! Wilhelmina feels for you! She is not a fan of the groomer’s herself! How often do you get groomed? Wilhelmina goes to the groomer’s every seven weeks and has since she was a puppy but she still finds it a great tragedy when she loses her curls! ;p

      Tragedy would be putting it mildly. Mom usually does me about every 6 weeks or so, depending if she’s trimmed me up in between or not.Sam gets his done once a month because he goes to the hospital and acts like he’s being tortured too. Must be a poodle thing. 😇

      No enjoyment in mudville. Until we’re all dry and the treats are a-flowing. ☺️

      Ha. I’ve been chasing her from hiding and safe places most of the afternoon. Poor thing, she really is not into baths and keeps giving me such pitiful looks.

          Oh yes, she can make me feel so bad. It’s been a rough day for her. Bath, groom job and 2 trips to the vet. #Badmom

  14. Sand Spring Chesapeakes – Cambria, WI – My husband and I have six "furry" children Gambler, Glory, Guilty, Slammer, Gertie and one cat Bones and two furangel's Norman and Nellie. We breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. We are both avid hunters. We also enjoy competing with our dogs in hunt tests and field trials. That is where you can find us during the trial months which are April-September. When were not at a trial we are busy training our dogs. We go snow goose hunting in Canada each year and do all the hunting that Wisconsin offers.

      I think your baths are more of your garden puddle variety and definitely self-determined. Dogs have no such luxury.
