There I was in the car, very excited to be spending another day on mom's lap, driving around and doing our 'thing'. Unbeknown to me, mom was actually on her way to take me to the doggie parlour.
When we got there, there were other doggies there too. They seemed very happy to see me, so I did not really expect much from it.
... untill mom picked me up and put me in the bathie. There I was ... getting all wet again. I really dont get why these humans keep on wetting me.
... after the shampoo, I got a layer of very expensive doggie conditioner (for my very expensive coat).
... once the kind lady finished bathing me, she put a nice warm towel around me and dried me a little. That felt really good.
Then I was combed, and dried with the hair dryer. The kind lady very gently removed all my knots in my coat, and combed me up like a furrball.
Even I got a shock when i had a glimps of myself in the mirror. I thought I'd turned into a poodle or something.
I cant wait to roll around in the nearest dirt again.
There I was, squeecky clean and ready to run and run and run and run and run and run and run...

Sharon treated Norman with love and care. Not once did I see him get water / soap in his eyes or ears or nose. She never hurt him once. This was one of the nicest parlours I have seen. I would highly recommend making use of her services. Sharon also does not agree on the cruel method known as Stripping The Wire Fox Terrier.

When speaking to my hairdresser the other day, she also mentioned that pulling the hair from the roots damages the hair follicles beyond repair...
yet another reason why Stripping them from their hair is not healthy for their coats.
much love,

So happy to see that your Mom and Dad helped Rambo. How is he doing, he is a sweetie. I'm sure he'll be ok on 3 legs, dogs can cope with most things.
You look very spiffy after your bath. Did you just have a wash though? I saw no scissors or clippers. I had a terrible haircut...mom is furious...I know your mom is against stripping but we do a combo strip/clip/scissor and it doesn't hurt at all. And usually I look handsome after...this time I was shaved and it's horrible, horrible.
I bet you smell delicious..you look gweat..I'm glad they tweated you so well

The lady clipped my fluffy hairs on my body, but Mom sed she must not cut too much, cawse its still a bit too cold here in Cape Town for now. she also clipped the hairs on my legs a bit to get rid of the clumps and knots.
Rambo is doing gweat, and hopefully we will be fetching him at the doggie hospital on Monday.
wirey hugs and snuggles

Don't know much about stripping. Mom clips us because of her arthritis and that's the easiest on all of us. In a half hour, I look like a new dog!
