Let's See Your Dogs!!

I made sure to get the power, it makes my dog so happy

 

The Kiddo & I were building a Lego set, when this guy had to stick his nose in.



You can't do anything around the house without including Fen.

Wifey grabbed his bed. He turned his nose up at it, then HE grabbed the smaller bed(from our last Schnauzer), dragged it out and made himself comfortable.

He's clearly outgrown this bed. But, he loves it.



The Lego set(if anyone cares);

 

My Big Buddy "Santino"

 

You know, I never thought much in what it takes to groom dogs until I dated a groomer. Her shoulders were F’d.

 

Had a 3 and a half hr trip. She was like this for most of the way

 

Cooper. Aka Da Coop

 

Happy camper.

 

I bet.
One thing we learned(in regards to schnauzers) is that miniatures require grooming, of course, but do not shed.
Standard schnauzers(which is what our boy Fenris is) also require grooming, but they still shed!

My vacuum gets more usage now, since we've had Fen in the house. Lols.

 

Sable and a 14lb zucchini.

 

I've groomed my "Rocket" about 4-5 times a year for almost 14 years. Early on, the breeder taught me how to "properly" groom a Standard; I had NO IDEA of the required maintenance of the coat(s) of a Standard. I ended up saving a ton of $$ by buying the grooming table, grooming combs, grooming brushes, grooming clippers, grooming cloth, grooming apron, grooming hair spray... I became a grooming "expert" over time, and in those 14 years I could have stuffed a Hippo with the clippings, but with the $$ I saved I could have stuffed an elephant!

 

Who is the resident expert on Carolina Dog/American Dingos?

 

Went to the dog beach. We had a blast!


And she made a friend!

 

Wow! I can't imagine.
Are you familiar with stripping the coat? The groomer told us about it, and we decided to do that on his recent visit. It seems to have helped, as far as the shedding goes.


More info, if you're interested.

My buddy had one. Sweet dog. Though I shit you not, he pulled a muley deer he'd killed into the house. F'n nuts.

 

Poaching?

 

No doubt. And a mess!

 

The dogs in Glacier national park. They were a little bummed they didn't get to get out of the truck every stop.
