No More Pink Party

Today Lacy went to the groomers for the first time since we dyed her. She needed it bad!

To remind all the readers out there of our pink dog. This is what she looked like after the dye job was all said and done. Pretty cute, eh??!!

I was a stress case, I thought for sure they were going to brow beat me for dying her hair pink!! I was trying everything in my power to convince Ryan that he should drop her off instead of me. I figure he is much better with conflicts and confrontation than I am. I avoid them. Yes, I am a wimp!!


Do you see how bad she needs to groomed?? It's amazing how long that pink lasted, you can still remnants of it.

Needless to say, I called and explained it to the groomer over the phone . . . she was really easy on me. PHEW!!


I have tried grooming her myself . . . but when it came to the anal gland and the pulling out ear hair . . . let’s just say it wasn’t pleasant for Lacy or me!! Poor little thing. It wasn’t until my sweet little neighbor Sam told me of a great groomer that he uses for his Mooshie that I was able to justify taking her to the groomer. They are great with her and the price should be more, I feel like I am robbing them!! The spazzed out Hyena look. It is still cute. She just looks like she is on hyper meds and has lost a lot of weight. Isn't it cute??!! (Meant to sound sarcastic. I really love my dog and all her looks; I swear!!) You can see that she still has some pink on her. She is cotton candy!


Grooming a Cavachon (this is Lacy’s breed) is a battle in and of itself. Trying to make them look less like a Bichon and even less like a poodle is pretty hard to do. I try to get them to do a puppy cut on her. Basically it is suppose to look like all the hair is the same length as a puppy would look. For some reason she always looks like a spazzed out Hyena when she comes back. I suppose there is only so much a groomer could do. Maybe next time I will try the Bichon cut, I just hate that it looks like my girlie dog has lamb chops. They claim it is to make them look more like a teddy bear. . .I don't see it though.

This is her as a puppy!! That is the puppy cut, that's what I aim for everytime I take her in to get groomed. Wasn't she cute?? She still is really cute, don't you think?


The funny thing is the breeder told me that she wouldn’t have the frizzy curly hair or the eye-stain of a Bichon, well she has both. Not a big deal, she fits in perfectly with my imperfections!!
