Spa Day for Dogs?

I finally had to submit to the fact that some dogs need or at best should randomly be groomed.  The problem was I couldn’t see taking my dog for a “spa day” while I was in dire need of a little grooming myself.  I don’t know if dogs all over the world are groomed on a regular basis or if I live in an area where it’s more a necessity because of the types of dogs most people have.

I was so hoping to get by without making this sort of a commitment.  Prior to their “spa day,” I wasn’t sure who needed something to relax them more – the dogs or me!  My little guy had never been near a groomer and scissors are his nemisis.  Now, that I am fostering a little yorkie, it was becoming less and less of an option on whether I’d become one of the many who take better care of their dogs than they do of themselves.

The dogs do look and smell great, but I think some of their free-spirited personality was removed along with their free-spirited hair.  Their hair is as much a part of how I saw them as my hair is for me.  Who knew?!?  I guess I’ll have some time as their hair grows to see if their spunk grows back with their hair.  Maybe mine will too!
