Our wonderful groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, New Hampshire, came out today for her regularly scheduled appointment for the two blind Poodle sisters, Molly and Priscilla. Those two girls take up much of the day, but Lori can usually fit in at least one more who might need a make-over, and today it was the blind Yorkie, Clyde. But the main production is always Molly and Priscilla, of course. That's Molly in the bathtub in the photo above, and here she is a few seconds later, sticking her tongue out (at me for taking her picture in the tub?):
Then, after sitting in front of the hair dryer for quite a while, they moved to the laundry room, where we have the perfect built-in shelf that serves as a grooming table when it's not full of folded fresh bedding:
But for close-up work like clipping around the face and ears, Lori finds the light in the solarium better, and we just happen to have a big, wide table set up in there:
It was bright and sunny outside, and the solarium heats up so much on days like this — even in winter — that we had to hit the switch to roll out the retractable awning over it.
And finally, here's Molly, just a few minutes away from being done:
Lori does a fabulous job with the girls, who have really taken to her. And we really like these grooming house-calls, too — it saves us a lot of time driving somewhere, dropping them off, and then having to pick them up several hours later. And it's more comfortable and less stressful for the girls to have the grooming done right here at home. (Although I'm not sure how stressful it can really be to have someone pamper and fuss over you for hours on end, you know? Don't women pay big money to go to spas for exactly this sort of thing?)
Perhaps I digress. Anyway … a happy grooming day was had by all!
