Our fabulous groomer, Lori Fillion from Littleton, New Hampshire, came out yesterday to work on some of the dogs, including the terrier fuzzballs, blind Fuzzy and blind Clyde the Yorkie. Also on the list for overdue grooming was our new arrival, blind Sophie — the longhaired Dachshund whose low-slung physique and hairy coat turned her into a perpetual yard rake. She was forever picking up leaves, twigs, acorns and other unidentified ground objects in her coat.
Enough of that. She is now a sleek if still low-slung Dachshund. Most amazing of all, she actually now has some real ground clearance — we can see daylight underneath her! It's like she grew an extra inch in her legs. (Widget says: "Hey, will this work for me?")
Of course, what didn't change — as you can see in the photo at the top with Lori (click on it for a larger image) — is her tongue. Still sticking out.
