Fiona Went Swimming

Here Fiona is sticking her tongue out at Daddy.
She's a bloody riot as he was taking her in the pool and she was daring him to come get her.
We also had Risa and Shoshi in the pool.
Then I did bath times.
We are getting ready for the picnic.
Then we took another photo of Fiona after her bath. How do you think she turned out?
What a world a of difference a simple bath can make.
Fiona was overdue but so are the rest.
Can I go to sleep?
After the heat, the baths, the blogs, cleaning, puppies and swimming and much more, well that bed is looking mighty fine to me.

Wow! She looks like a little angel!
Wow, great job Darlah. How long did it take to complete ? Fiona wins first prize she is beautiful.
It's hard to say how long it took as all 3 went into the pool. Then I washed Risa, put her on the table, got out any tangles and let the blowers dry then I washed Shoshi, put her in the table next to Risa and brushed her out and then let her walk around till Risa was almost dry. Then while Shoshi was walking around in the house I washed Fiona and then brushed her out and let her walk around. Then I finished Risa under the dryers and then took Shoshi back up on the table and let the blowers blow dry her and combed out Fiona again but did it on the floor. I then finished Shoshi and then put Fiona up on the table. All between this I folded laundry cause that is the drawback of having your bleepin' grooming room in the laundry room and feeding the pups food as their output exp[lodes and you have to clean, clean, clean till they get the pads fully. I brushed out Fiona with a Mason Pearson. The whole process took about 2 hours when it normally takes me 3 doing one dog from start to finish. How did I save time? Drying while washing. You have to remember that my sink is right where the table is so the dog is not going anywhere. I get to do this today with Kat, Spice and Truffie. Now you know who is going to the picnic. :-) Kat, Spice and Truffie will swim before baths today. Just before puppy people come to visit their new ones, I will bathe the pups for their first time and the moms. Everyone always gets done. I laughed at Yvonne when she looked at the dogs and said Fiona doesn't need washing but she did. She looked fine but last night she looked great. I sort of doubt it will last till tomorrow but here is hoping. Risa and Shoshi will last.
....wow! That is *quite* the process. Seems like you got it efficiently stream-lined, though. Fiona looks great - I love the comparison picture. She looks like she tripled in volume from the "before" to "after"!
