Grooming Poodles.......

Today was spa day for the poodles. We take them to Brenda's Pet Parlour these days. She is just so kind and patient with my girls and does a wonderful job. We have been to many groomers over the years because we have always had poodles. I have to say that I have never had a poodle who enjoyed the experience. I don't know why. I mean they have a nice bath and then the hair cut and nails clipped. Certainly more comfortable than if I/we did it at home.

Bodi gets way to hot in the house when she is in need of grooming. Her plump little body just can't take the heat and I fully understand.
I didn't take a picture of them before we went to the groomers but they were bad. We didn't have the money and then the weather didn't cooperate. We had to cancel last week.

I actually love them with long hair but its so hard to keep clean. Brea still had a lingering odour of Skunk from quite some time ago, now she is smelling sweet again.


The last couple of days Bijou got really bad, she had an upset tummy and her eyes were having issues so that we had to put drops in. She was just really pathetic looking. Now she is back to her pretty self.
I have not taken the after the spa pictures because everyone is under blankets right now but Brenda took these pictures of Bodi having her turn. Bodi has joint issues and will no longer stand for grooming. Brenda just rolls her around the table and Bodi seems to enjoy it. Here are Brenda's pictures


Then the after picture

Time to go home.
Poodles are high maintenance and we have 4 so we can't take them as often as we should, I don't think they have ever been this bad and I just have to praise Brenda no end for taking care of them.
BELLA
