Grooming By Ashleigh!

18 weeks along and counting! Next week we finally get to find out what it is!

Haha I'm sure in a few years I'll be saying the same thing!!! =P For now it feels like I'm old! I get home from work every night & my bones are creaking, ack I hate mine 8-7 days.

haha!!

Have I mentioned how much I dislike Huskies?  I swear it never fails, a new one comes along and I hope to God that it doesn’t act like every other Huskie that I have ever groomed and then I’ll be damned, it’s a crazy ass psycho…I had to shave one yesterday that was 9 years old and grumpy and crazy as hell.  Then if that wasn’t enough, he decided to pee and poop in his Run ALL day.  I finally finished him and dammit he pisses again then lays smack in the middle of it….

You know, it really kinda breaks my heart to see people let their dogs go downhill.  When I first started grooming this Bichon/poodle mix, he always got a cute little haircut.  The next time I groomed him, I had to shave his face because it was very matted and his tear stains had gotten so bad that his face reeked horribly.  Today when I groomed him, I had to shave off his tail, and shave his ears along with his face because they refuse to brush out even those simple things.  It makes me sad.  :( 

Just another pet peeve of mine…I can’t stand people who post “want” ads for a free purebred dog because (and I quote)  “I can’t pay silly money for a pet.”   Ads like this piss me off! I can understand not being able to pay hundreds of dollars for a dog. If that’s the case then get a shelter dog but don’t ask people to hand over a purebred dog just because you are too selfish to consider a shelter dog.  But if you honestly can’t pay “silly money” for a pet then you obviously can’t afford vet costs, a quality diet, spay or neuter, and all the other things that dogs require.  Don’t get a dog if you don’t want to spend money on it!  I honestly don’t see how anyone would take an ad like that seriously.

Bleh

Freaking tired and in a bad mood this morning….Woke up twice last night because Daegan had explosive diarrhea in his kennel both times and decided not to let anyone know he needed to go out. The first time he ended up needing an emergency bath at 2:30 in the morning and the second time he managed not to step in it, but managed to somehow get it all over the wall…What confuses me is that he didn’t even get into anything and he barely touched his dinner at 4:00 yesterday. UGH.  It does kinda concern me though because he is a year and a half old and has never been sick a day in his life!  He’s always up to date on his shots, and he has never had an upset stomach over anything he eats or anything I give him.  I always keep such a close eye on my dogs and there was nothing that he could have gotten into yesterday.  They pretty much stayed in their dog bed all day being lazy.

Brace yourself lol.  I have this customer who rescues Chinese Cresteds and she has a ton of them.  I always groom her Powderpuff into the pony clip, but she recently acquired this Poodle/maltese/yorkie mix and she requested that I transform him into a Chinese Crested as well haha! His mane and furnishings have a long way to go before they grow out nicely, but at least I set his pattern haha! He looks like a Chinese Crested puppy right now with his short mane :)  <3

Libby the old crabby Yorkie before and after.

Smokey the rescue dog before and after.  His hair was so thin and difficult to work with and he had so many cowlicks.  This is the best I could do for his head since he wouldn’t be still for shit…He looks…special lol
