It is day #3 of my dog clipping marathon. Dog #4 aka The Rat is today's victim.
She can be a bit of a squealer, but I have to be fair and say that she was a very good girl today. She stood patiently for most of the clip and it was quite delightful how playful she became, when we took a break. She would bounce around the room, rushing at me, nuzzling and pawing me with great excitement.
I had forgotten how much fun she can be. Her natural playfulness can be inhibited due to her size. She is much smaller than the dogs and she can become a little nervous, when they want to join in the fun and games.
When I am grooming the other dogs are shut out of the room and she can play without fear of being barged, or knocked over, by the boys.
Over the course of three sessions, I removed her long coat. Her feet still need to be clipped, especially around the toes and pads, but that can wait until tomorrow.
The clipping took most of the day, although we did find time to put away a recent delivery of wine. 30% also completed and inventory and scared me with the amount of booze we have around the house at the moment ... TP better not invite his chums over for a party ... it's far too good for them!*
