The girls got class

May 8, 2011 – 5:05 am

The pack is completely groomed now. After, I groomed Oliver I groomed Princess and Lady. Now, they look like a complete package. They also all feel better with less hair. I thought I would share photos of Princess and Lady’s grooming experience.

 

Fluffy Princess before the shave down begins

 

Bobble head Princess. Half way done and as you can see she wasnt enjoying the rain.

 

Princess all shaved down. She now gets cold easily. Good thing I have tons of clothes for her.

 

Shaggy Lady

 

From dog to lion. I liked the lion look so much that I kept her as a lion for a few weeks.

 

Finished Lady. No matter what haircut Lady gets she always looks beautiful.

 

Who do you think looks better groomed?

My Dogs

From poodle to jack russell

April 5, 2011 – 6:16 pm

The warm weather is coming and the dogs are furry and matted. Grooming is a must before summer gets here. Last week I groomed my first victim and now he looks totally different. Oliver was first in line and its a dramatic change for him.

 

Fluffy Oliver not sure whats coming.

The first day of grooming went pretty well. I shaved down his whole body and got most of his legs done. I decided to not start on his because I was tired and I know he gets feisty when i groom his head.

 

Let me tell you, he is not an easy dog to groom. Especially, the face. He is a wiggle worm and doesnt stop trying to jump off the grooming table. Also, he hates the dog shaver near his face. As you can see I was able to get one side of his face done but not the other.

 

He has half a schnauzer looking muzzle.

 

He still is cute.

 

An Oliver shake.

 

A few days later I decided to tackle the rest of his face. Instead of using the dog shaver I decided to use scissors. He cooperated better but still wiggled a lot.

 

With no hair left he buried under my bed covers to keep warm.

 

Vampire Oliver wants some bwood.

 

Even though he looks totally different he still is cute!

 

A jacket passed down from my first dog Mills to Oliver.

 

Callie spending time with big brother.

 

The finished product. Yes, its the same dog.

Princesssss

July 16, 2010 – 3:37 pm

Princess got lots of attention today from me but its not the kind she likes very much. First, she got groomed because her hair was coming back and with the heat she was just way too hot. Shaved down her body and legs but just trimmed up her face and tail. After getting groomed she got a bath. She was not happy about that. Just look at the photo above. Doesnt she look annoyed? Maybe more like pissed off, but she is such a loyal girl that she just stands there waiting for the torture to be done with.

All sprawled out on the couch after the bath. She looks like a bullet.

I think she is mad at me…

Look it! Its my little fuzzy wuzzy.

Either she is trying to be invisible so I dont torture her more or she is embarrassed with her haircut.

She isnt in a smiling mood but she is still kissable!

Princess is tired of photos but I just couldnt resist. Look at her cute little legs!

Thats Princess’ eyelash and eyeball. She has beautiful long eyelashes and big emotional eyes.

Did you enjoy those? I did! I havent taken photos of my girl in awhile. I never take enough photos of her, Lady or Oliver. As you look at Princess, cant you see that she is an angel in dog form? A human in a dog body? Well, she is my angel. Many may say she is just a dog but she is much more than that. She is my best friend, my sidekick, my hero, my angel, my life and everything else. You may own a hundred dogs in your lifetime but there is usually one that touches your heart the most. Ive never understood how people could favor one dog over the others. Until, the Princess walked into my life. I mean you will never see or hear me talk about how she is my favorite and make it sound like I dont love the other dogs. I adore my other dogs. They are all special to me but Princess is just extra special.

family Lady

My father is my mother

June 20, 2010 – 10:16 pm

First off, I want to wish all the fathers out there a happy fathers day. I hope you got your lawnmower, toolbox or alone time that you wanted. If not then what did you get?! As you all know my mom is my dad all in one. Isn’t that neat? Its pretty sweet. I do like the rare species in life. Anyways, I do not celebrate Father’s Day. I am perfectly happy with just my mom. Except, it would be nice to have a man around sometimes. Like when we put a chandelier up in the dining room. My mom can get the lights on but couldn’t turn them off. Also, when we had piping explode in the bathroom and we had to call an emergency plumber late at night. Now those are some memories we just laugh about now. How about when a boy wants to take me out on a date? A father would be good to scare them so much that they pee in there pants so they will be a gentleman. And if you plan on taking my mom on a date, I better approve you first. Also, she must be home by twelve! No sooner and no later. Hehe.

Princess goes to school!

May 17, 2010 – 11:56 pm

Leaving Princess in a cage in the morning at the tech school was difficult but she and I survived it. When I got back there in the afternoon she was so excited to see me. She was ready to claw her nails into my back so I could never leave her again. Before I started working on her everyone said hello to her and she LOVED that. Princess is not spoiled with food. She is spoiled with love and she shares the love too.

Princess cooperated pretty much while I groomed her. I gave her a nice bath which she needed badly. After that I blow dried her. I wasnt sure how she would react to that but she was good with it. Except, she did not like her face being blow dried. Anyways, grooming her I knew she would be pretty cooperative. Only thing she does not like done is her feet but that is common with a lot of dogs. The nice thing about Princess is she does not bite when she does not like something. She just stares at me with her big eyes, wondering if I will be done soon. Anyways, I do like how she turned out and she got a cookie after to thank her for the help. Now, I hope the two ladies who observed us all thought I did well. It was stressful but I accomplished it. So, what do you think of her new look?

Bye bye fluff

May 16, 2010 – 11:52 pm

So, I spent my weekend up at the cabin with my mom and the dogs. The weather was great. Not too hot and not too cold. Perfect! My mom planted some trees and put some manure down. Let me tell ya. That stuff was da shit. Hehe. It sure stunk up the car. Almost couldnt breathe. Anyways, I got lots of exercise walking the dogs around the lake and they sure enjoyed it. They always have fun.

Guess what! I got some big news. I have my hands on test tomorrow for small animal care and guess who I am grooming. My girl, Princess! Yes, I am so excited. I get to bring Princess to my technical school tomorrow. Dropping her off in the morning before I go to my main school. She is going to hate me for leaving her in a cage alone until I get there at twelve in the afternoon. But then she is going to even hate me more when I bathe and groom her. I will make sure to give her lots of love and kisses during and after so she forgives me. Woot! I am excited. Dont worry I will show pictures of her all groomed and share with you how it went. Hope you all had a nice weekend and made some memories. I am going to curl up with my girl and get some sleep. Night.

The Spring Princess

March 9, 2010 – 10:34 pm

Princess got her Spring haircut Sunday because the weather is getting warmer and she gets hot easily with her thick coat she has. She was not too happy with me. I mean she is the best dog out of the three to groom. Just stands there on the table being patient with me. She looks at me every once in a while wondering if I am done yet, but most of the time she keeps her head turned away. I mainly shaved down her body, belly and legs with a number seven blade. Princess and the two other dogs hate their feet groomed so that was the only challenge I had. I left her tail and just trimmed up her head a little bit. I think I did a pretty good job. Not perfect but I am satisfied with it. Now, the real challenge are the two other dogs that I must do one of these days. That will be fun. Oh, by the way Princess forgave me for torturing her when I let her snuggle with me on my bed Sunday night. Thats my girl!

Christmas Holidays

Memories of Christmas

December 26, 2009 – 12:15 am

Waking up this morning I walked downstairs with one hand carrying the three gifts for my mom and the other hand carrying Callie. I always love Christmas morning. Just the wonderful thought in your head of giving and receiving makes my heart pound. I always wonder if my mom will like what I get her. Will she be pleased or disappointed. The thing is she is always happy and always tells me that it was thoughtful and its the thought that counts.

My mom loved her gifts this year. Put lots of smiles on her face. So, what did I get her? I got her this coupon book that has different things to make mom happy. For example, go to a movie together or clean your room. the second gift I got her was a calendar. She asked for it and I got it for her. Santa listened. The last and best gift is a painted cow that I knew she would love. There are huge painted cows in New York City that my mom always loved and wish she could have. So, I decided I would get her a little one painted with a garden scene. She loves it. Cant stop admiring it. I am happy about that because it was difficult choosing which one to get her. I wanted something she would love and I chose the perfect one.

Look I got a mustang for Christmas! Okay okay. It is not a real one but it is still awesome. It works for me for now. Makes me work on my dream to get one some day when I have the money. The dogs had some fun chasing it. So everyone meet my mustang sally.

Another thing my wonderful mother got me was a grooming table! I am so excited about it too. It means grooming the dogs will be so much easier. The pack wasnt so happy about it though. They gave me an evil look. Haha! Now you dogs cant run away from me while I am grooming you. I have to thank Princess for putting up with me while I was taking photos of her on my new grooming table. As you can see she was not pleased about the whole situation.

My last favorite thoughtful gift my mom gave me was a little camera backpack. The perfect gift for a photographer who likes walking and bicycling long distances and taking lots of photos. It will help me get a more variety of photographs. Thanks mom for believing that I could be successful in photography profession some day. Your the best.

Overall, it was a lovely Christmas. My Grandma came over and we had wonderful food. At least to me it was great. For an appetizer we had shrimp cocktail and then for the main course meal we had ravioli! It was delicious. I always love Christmas. Just a lovely thoughtful family holiday. I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and had a joyful fun day. I am tired and goint to get some sleep soon. Peace.

Camera Phones dogs Lady My Dogs summer

Summer Lady

July 28, 2009 – 10:10 pm

Groomed LadyHello. It has been a hot, sweaty and rainy Tuesday. It was high eighty eight here in New Jersey today. Hot hot hot! I have been sweaty all day because stubborn me still wont use my air conditioner in my room. I just letting myself be hot and sweaty. I am going the whole summer without the air co. Look at it this way it is saving money for my mom without that going. There was a little thunderstorm today which was not that fun because I have a sinus headache. Plus, it is suppose to storm still the next few days which will not help. Luckily my mom got me some Dr Pepper which will help the nausea.I just hung out inside all day. Listening to music and surfing the net. Also, snuggling my dogs.

I know this is not the best quality photo but it was taken with my phone because my camera still not clean yet. Now you all see Lady’s new haircut I gave her. What do you think? I know she still hairy on her legs but that is because she gives me attitude. I will get those legs done soon. Overall I think I did a pretty nice job. I like it better than other times I have groomed her. Lady is much more comfortable for the hot weather now. Let me know what you think of Lady’s new summer cut and the not so great photo.

I am just going to relax now and surf the net and talk to people. Always new things to discover on the net. So, I hope you all had a nice, not too hot Tuesday and stay cool tonight. I will chit chat with you all soon. Stay happy and healthy. Peace.

Speeding By

July 24, 2009 – 9:07 pm

speedingbycarHello everybody. TGIF.  I am up at the cabin and it was a pretty nice day. The weather changed between sunny to cloudy all day with some rain. I got to drive to the food store and back and I did not hit anything. I feel a little more comfortable driving each time. Still haven’t groomed Lady but I am seriously going to do it tomorrow morning. She really needs it done and I really need to do it. Oh, also my mother got Daughtry’s new album for me and I love it! Such great music!

I am kinda upset about my camera right now. I took a load of photos the other day and I had to get rid of most of them because there is some kind of mark or smudge on all of them on the top. It is not a big mark but I am very picky and do not like to crop. I think its the mirror inside that needs cleaning. My mother says we should bring it to the store because she doesn’t want us to scratch it unless I find some safe method to clean it. It is just upsetting because I cant take photos til I clean it or take it to a camera store. I am missing all these good opportunities to photograph things. I hate when you do not have your camera you see all these great photos you could take if you had your camera. I hope to get it clean soon.

Do you like this photo? I was having fun with shutter speed one day in my town. I think this photo is pretty cool with the building in the background and the car going by all blurry. Just gives the photo motion. Oh by the way this car is a red mini. Cute little cars. I will talk to you all soon. Going to hang out, talk to people, surf the net and listen to music. Please let me know what you think and I will talk to you all soon. Also, if you know how to clean a camera mirror and also the lenses safely let me know. Thanks. Enjoy the rest of your Friday night and Saturday. Peace.
