Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret!
Well, it couldn't be put off any longer, I managed to stay out of view all morning and even got the lunchtime walkies!
Then it was back home and no matter how much I tried to stay 'Invisible' Old Two Legs called me to the garden shed where all the items of torture were kept, including a nasty vicious wind machine that they accurately call a 'Blaster'.
I don't like blasters!
Actually, it all started yesterday evening, The Missus had gone out on one of her jollies leaving OTL wondering what to do, a DVD or a TV program or.....................let's de-knot poor Daisy!
In the end it was a DVD (the same one Archie Babe watched) and, de knot Daisy!
So, after lunch today I was de- knotted but covered in sniffs!
I was washed in the big 'Plasterers Bath' then wrapped up in a doggy towel and marched off to the shed where the table stood waiting for this poor woofer. out came the Blaster and I just ducked right down. I didn't like it at the poodle parlour and I don't like it at home!
OTL seemed not to care and carried on blasting the water from everywhere on mu body, and I mean EVERYWHERE!
Once I was dry, out came the electric shears and he proceeded to shave the excess hair off my body, all over, and under, and around the back and the front, then down my legs!
I was not a happy woofer, I don't like the electric shears and soon started to yelp and howl as soon as the shears were switched on, never mind when he started to shave off some hair!
Holly was helping as well 'coss she was woofing at OTL telling him not to hurt me and I was yelping in case he got too near with the shears.
Things sort of ground to a halt.
OTL had an idea, out came the special set of scissors for woofer trimming and he set about snipping away, with me being very nervous every time I heard a 'snip, snip'!
I let him work away with the scissors and even stood still as he cut the hair between the pads on my paws. However, I drew the line at claw clipping, I hate that and you could see the result 'cos my dew claw had curled right around, so that means the poodle parlour hadn't trimmed them as OTL had asked!
Naughty poodle parlour!
Well, OTL manged to get his clippers in and trim a few of the longest claws and one dew claw that had curled around but the other he had to leave 'cos I was making too much of a fuss every time he got close!
I can see him taking the clippers away on holiday and catching me unawares!
Well, it took longer than he had planned but he went to town snipping away and in the end we agreed that it wasn't too bad!
So, de sniffed, washed, shaved and trimmed, I suppose it will do for another four weeks!

| Well, at least my tail feels right! |

| My butt does not look half as big as hers! |
OTL has been looking at the description of the site and noticed that the 'Free Wi-Fi' is only applicable to the wooden hut on the site, not all over as we are used to! So, we will try to get the blog out as normal but it will need a bit of planning, like write up the blog, all pictures to a file, go down to the hut and up load. It sounds easy but what would happen if we were late and the hut was shut? Would we still get on line if we stood outside and looked in through the window?
We will find out tomorrow!
Bye bye for now.
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Freddy and Eric de Ferret.
Evening little maties. Poor, poor Daisy. I'm so sorry to hear you had all your lovely, hard collected sniffs washed and cut off you. This shed sounds like a right place of torture. I hope OTL got the water temperature right at least. You do look lovely though. I don't blame you for acting up and making a racket about the torture though and good on Holly chops for her vocal moral support. I HATE having my nails clipped as well, mind I'm not really big on being wetted and then combed and trim or blasted. Which reminds me, I have an appointment on Thursday with my groomer .......... I shall have to put my thinking head on and see if I can come up with a good way of getting out of going. I usually end up round my mums neck when the nail trimmers come out. Wot did you think of the film, there weren't any nargles in it so I quite enjoyed it. My mum is a bit miffed at the moment, my boy was due to be home from work just after 6 so she put a lovely roast dinner in the oven to be ready for him. He's just phoned to say there is an issue and he probably won't be home until after midnight. I did offer to help with his portion of the dinner but my mum reckons that's not going to happen. Well at least he'll be able to help me with guard duty in the morning, I won't be home alone. But just wot is my mum going to do with all that roast beef dinner ..... hmmmmmm. I hope you're over your traumatic day now Daisy and hope you all have a lovely evening, I reckon you deserve extra muggings tonight. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteDoes the shed have a health warning notice on it, it should have and now you are off to another place with a shed but wifi and no plasterers bath, or so it seems!!! You were very brave and look super duper perhaps it doesn't grow so fast in the colder weather or maybe it grows faster when it is cold to help keep you warm, oh sorry about that but I don't know the answer so maybe you know. Now I don't like the sound of this new weather that the weatherman is taliking about, you seem to be heading to it, take care and have a good journey. We shall wait until your shed is in action to hear all the news xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteNearly forgot, have a safe journey all and enjoy the new place, hopefully you won't get locked out of the shed but make sure you don't get locked in. Licks and sniffs little Arch xxxxxx
