Bobby and Amber

Here's a neat picture of Bobby and Amber - took it yesterday. Amber had her annual bath and shave yesterday so I figured I'd better get a picture before she has another mud bath Amber's coat is so thick that she hasn't been able to dry in about 4 days! The groomer spent about 3 hrs on her - shaving, thinning and clipping... With more hot weather coming, Amber will be much more comfortable!

Oh, my! Look at the glamor girl! Bows and everything! Bobby can't believe his luck to be with such a beautiful girl!

Actually, he kind of looks like he's saying, "She's beautiful, Mom, but where's Amber?"

They're both looking good, JanM! Is Bobby still feeling feisty?

I love the little bow in her ear.

Bobby's hair is so thick and curly!

What a wonderful picture of the two of them. Bobby looks like he could use a bit of a clip too. They are both so cute and handsome.

Yup - Bobby is kinda put out - but more because Amber has a bow rather than him wanting one He figures that bows are for sissies

Today should be the end of Amber's clean time - we are going to Hemer Park where there's mud galore and she knows every mud spot and every path to the water too so we'll see what she looks like when we get home today..

LOL maybe you will have to post an "after" picture!?
Amber looks great, the groomer did a good job- I like how he/she didn't shave her right down- let her keep her dignity! ! What about Bobby, does he ever get to go to the spa???

No, Bobby only goes to the groomer for his "puppy pedicure" - it's too hard on him getting the full treatment so I brush, comb and clip him. Obviously, he hadn't been brushed when I took the picture so in guilt I did him this morning.. and yes, the groomer did a fantastic job with Amber - she thinned Amber's coat quite a bit which isn't obvious from the picture but sure is noticeable when I brush and comb her!

Actually, yes it did - and I didn't have my camera! She found the slough water first, then the stream - fine - but then she found the MUD and had her mud bath. She then swam for a stick in the lake and lost the mud but she sure doesn't look as sleek as she does in the picture but she had a blast so that's all that matters - right???????? At least she dried off before nighttime..

I guess it depends on how bad the mud smelled and whether the scent left with the mud.

Aw...but she had a wonderful time, I'm sure!
