Grooming royally SUCKS!
« on: July 01, 2007, 10:34:56 am »
With family visiting for the 4th of July, we don't want them to be greeted by a funky-smelling, rough-around-the-edges Newf. So we groomed and bathed her. It's been raining on and off all week and a downpour suddenly came just as we were in the middle of her trim. You can tell just how much Rosie enjoyed it.

Yes, she's on our patio furniture (we have no grooming table as of yet so my husband hoists her onto the patio table). And mind all the soaked Newf hair on the floor that we just had to powerwash as it was impossible to clean out.

You have to give her credit!  She really does pull off the "Poor me" look quite well!!  What a sweetie!

She is giving you that serious Newf face like "Ok. If I pout just right and make my eyes looks extra sad, mom will stop and I can play."  :) Poor baby.

Well Rosie had her revenge yesterday. We may have exhausted her too much after dinner from her walk in the warm Texas weather. When we got home, she puked her dinner all over her nicely groomed mane. Poor girl! My husband placed a cold towel over her and tucked some ice cubes underneath it, which she proceeded to eat off her back! Haha.
