Messy Dogs

This was Shoshi about 2 hours after I brushed her out. She was sticking her head in the snow outside. What is one to do with a dog that you brush and 5 minutes later looks - well like this. Well, she is knot free. She just looks funny. You learn to laugh and take photos and be quick to get one before she does this.

Someone asked if their dog had a long tongue. This is only a partial view of Shoshi's tongue. I call hers an ant eater tongue. It's the longest I ever did see.

I also gave Cha Cha a bath and she is a - got to get to be a mess dog. So, I may not be OCD about mine, I think I have brushed Cha Cha about 6 times waiting for her mom. Nathan finally took her upstairs to take a nap in hopes that I don't have to brush her 6 more times. We shall see.

It's so funny but I think she KNOWS what she is doing. Hahahaha I got you brushing me again and I get a TREAT. Oh, do I have YOUR number!

Well, got a bit more grooming to do. This blog will be short today. I hope you don't mind.

Everyone is having fun.

Love this picture of Shoshi...and the tongue! Cha Cha has a beautiful coat, looks so white with some apricot?

Anne: It's cream with apricot. Hard to tell with camera. Shoshi is so funny. I couldn't stand it and brushed out her face again and it looks about the same. I give up for today.

Absolutely great pics. Thanks. Cha Cha is resting quite a bit but has played as well. I think she misses Nathan, Darlah and all. Hmmmm!!! Maybe she needs a companion??? Thanks for all the wonderful care. Xo

Cha Cha is such a pretty girl.
Shoshi is so cute.....Scruffs is the same way and you just have to say oh well and go with it. It's a part of their personality that makes them so lovable I think :)
Although there are times when I do go back and redo his top knot because I do appreciate him being able to see something, haha!
