Well I have bit the bullet and booked Sally in to be groomed on Wednesday. I have never taken any dog to be groomed before so any hints as to what to expect and how long it should take i.e do I take a book and wait in the car or make the 10 minute drive home and do some housework?

I am going to ask them to just do her head, back and sides but pretty much leave her legs and ears  ;)

Is she having the full works - shampoo too?   :lol2:
I'd have thought they'd ask you to leave her for 1½ to 2 hours - so you've no excuse to get your housework done  :005:
Although if they're not doing her legs & ears obviously it will be quite lot quicker

Oooo Cant wait to see the results- not sure of Sally could be any cuter though no matter what the groomer does!!!  How come Glen not going for a shampoo and set as well- it might appeal to his feminine side :005: ph34r :005:

Well we had to reschedule do to the KC she came down with so today was d day for Sally at the groomers.

I asked them to leave her ears as much as possible and her hairy chest but forgot to ask them to leave her tail so its gone  ph34r. Looks like a stick sticking out her butt now.

Ok a wee reminder for folks as to how hairy she was



And her new sleek look
