Hi there, Debbie, Susan here. I have a question about grooming my Gompas. My routine has been to send them to the groomer every four weeks and she has cut them SHORT. That makes life very easy. The kids missed their last appointment (story not worth telling), so they are coming up on an appointment [...]
In this Year Of The Dog Training, I’ve had a most unexpected pleasure. Over the years I’ve attended a fair number of Puppy Kindergarten classes, including some offered now and again ‘up here’ in the mountains. Those ‘up here’ were always a crap shoot. Only once did the instructor have more than rudimentary knowledge. Still, even [...]

“It’s exhausing to be soooooo beautiful!”
I liked Katy’s bathtub for the dogs and thought I would try making
mine even simpler. With 3 dogs, wash day can literally be a pain in

Sadie was a little jewel, and cooperated like the sweet little pro she is. Zeke is a perpetual motion boy, and any hair that came [...]
I got the following inquiry and thought it would be a great opportunity to further build out the grooming page on the website. I often overlook the very obvious, so would appreciate input from you bloggers. What advice do you have for Tina?
Hi my name is Tina and I have two Lhasa’s. One is ten [...]
Above is the dog Katy mentioned and below is what she wrote.
Here’s the Calender Apso for June: (His name or date is not listed). You can tell that his “bangs” are cut, though, in between his eyes above his stop, and extending in that inverted “V”. Maybe some over his eyes, too, extending back from [...]
His black puppy hair is growing out and leaving behind silver and gold with black points on his ears, muzzle and tail. He’s very beautiful! He really seems to want to keep his hair long, so we will accommodate him, as long as he understands that he must be brushed, bathed and trimmed regularly. And he’s getting [...]
