Grooming Day

Rain, Rain Stay Away
Jedi Has a Busy Day

We have a weekend of shows starting tomorrow. The weather looks bad and I need a few rain free hours to groom Jedi. Cross your fingers!

 

Getting to this:

 

 

Takes a lot of this:

 

 

For fun, I gathered up all our grooming stuff, piled it on the grooming table and took a picture. Want to know the routine?

 

Prebath:

(done in the living room)

• Ears
• Nails (clip and file)
• Trim feet (hair between pads, around nails)
• Teeth (brush, scrape if necessary)
• Use rake to clear out undercoat

Bath:

(done on the table in the back yard)

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Volumizer
• Zoom Groom is used to reach skin and remove loose hairs

Dry:

(dry on table, brush in the living room)

• Towels
• Forced air dryer
• Use pin brush to remove loose hairs

Just before showing:

(done ringside)

• Use pin brush to remove loose hairs
• Spray bottle/mousse to fluff chest, tail and haunches
• Spray conditioner (added shine)

It's Thoughtless Thursday. No thinking for us, just cleaning. I go into autopilot and spend most of the time talking to Jedi. Once things slow down I'm going to click around below to see what others are sharing. How about you? -- K

P.S. I wonder how much time it takes to groom white and fluffy Ruckus. Hmmm . . .
