First Trip to the Groomers

Here are the promised pics from her first trip to the groomers. They gave her a pretty little bow and one of the worst haircuts I have ever seen. I could not get a good photo of the haircut but the cut her hind quarters so that her hair was sticking up at three different angles. She had two big cowlicks on her rump!! I guess it is somewhat fitting, but she has not been near any cows lately... They also cut down her fur on her hind legs (I like to call them "mudflaps") more than I would have liked. It has all grown back to a reasonable state and she sure smells alot better, so all in all it was worth the trip. The girls at the groomers were delightful and as usual Kallie was the star of the show. "She is sooo cute for such a wild looking dog!!!" My wife is certain that the expressing of her anal glands has made all of the difference in the world and I would have to agree. She was stricken with a terrible case of coccidia when we adopted her and she had horrible diarhea for quite a while after she came home. I am sure that this let to some of the impacting of her anal glands. Either way she smells much better now.

We are excited that the rain has finally subsided for a few days. It has been nice been nice to have a leisurely stroll instead of a hurry up before it rains walk. We are going to brave the park tomorrow. We will see how soggy it still is. A little mud never hurt anybody anyhow...
