What was I thinking?

Someone at a show recently asked me if all I did was wash Poodles...yep, sometimes I think that is the case!

(This picture was at the start of our run. I don't think I could duplicate this shot if I tried! This was not staged, and all I wish was that I had taken them out a bit earlier so that this spot was in the sun.) So take a look at Barbie on the right. Beautiful white coat which was bathed on Sunday, Bunny was in the bath Monday... It was about here where the trouble started. Barbie joined Juno, Emma and Bridgit in the ditch...those darn Shelties led her astray. The dirt falls off the Shelties and other things like picks and burrs rarely cause problems.
This is how she looked when she came back! ((Sigh))
The long grasses stuck to her coat like Velcro! I don't think this is the suggested method for coat care and maintenance!
Yes, she enjoyed herself; but guess what? It is bath time again!

Foo didn't fare any better. She has hundreds of picks on her legs!

Rough-housing

The girls enjoyed a quick trip to the back field to blow off some steam.
They had a lot of pent up energy...

...and were particularly boisterous in their play!

Toothy grin...

I'm not sure I have a shot of Barbie ever going for Bunny; but in the house, she gives as good as she gets!

Barbie 7 months

Barbie's big hair! Another day at the parlour...and this time we used hair spray. She's a few months away from being shown, but she's definitely starting to look the part.

Walk In Fields of Gold

I was out with the lawn tractor earlier in the week blazing a trail through the thick weeds in the back field. Our alfalfa field has been overtaken by goldenrod.
Even though I mowed a nice path...
...the girls like to go cross-country!
Both were bathed and trimmed today, and I'm hoping they still look good on Tuesday when Rui and family arrive (Mont'Alves Shelties and Laekenois, Portugal).

See ya!
