Standard Poodle

At Home Poodle Grooming Tools Webinar




I'm stoked this morning.  Today is the first of many Webinars that I will be doing on dogs.  

At Home Grooming Tools Webinar - I will be covering what you need as far as equipment to groom your poodle at home.  From the very basic equipment to doing full grooming yourself.  I've been grooming at home for 35 years.  Much of my grooming was done with the very bare minimum of equipment.  I will show you what you need to do in between grooms or just the touch up stuff.  When and if you are ready to do full grooms is up to you; but I will show you what you'll need.  

Like anything, at home grooming typically starts with just one toe dipping into the waters.  Once you get into it the sky is the limit as far as all the bells as whistles you get.  I'll show you the necessity equipment.  

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the webinar.  And Miss Elsa will be making one or more live appearances.  :) 

Please join Elsa and I at 5:00 pm PST today May 5th, May 12, May 19 or May 26 for this free At Home Poodle Grooming Equipment Webinar.

Hope to see you all there.  

Hello 2014

Well, a Happy New Year to everyone.  Over the holidays we took Elsa down to visit Penny and Nicole again.  We took another trip to Fiesta Island.  Here are some of the pics, continuation of photos on tomorrows blog.

So glad to see Elsa enjoying the water.

Penny loved chasing Elsa, chasing the ball.

Inseparable.



A beautiful doberman who wandered by very shortly.



Penny wasn't too sure if she wanted to meet this guy. 



Penny followed a dog way up the hill.  Watching us from up above.




Elsa went in up to the point of having to swim, that is the next step. 



Dad throwing the ball in the water again and again and again.



Penny loves to run with her Mom.


This little guy was determined to catch Penny, hilarious. 


Elsa's ball was too far for her to get so Penny went in to get it.  Then a Golden joined them.




More tomorrow.  :)

A day at the beach

   
    Scanning the beach, where to first?  Elsa and I drove down to San Diego yesterday so that we could beach it with my daughter Nicole and Penny.  We went to Fiesta Island where there is tons of room to run.  The whole island is designated "off leash" fun for dogs and at this time of year, there are no crowds to battle with.  Enjoy, I sure did.

    Elsa chased the ball; Penny chased Elsa, chasing the ball. 


    They ran and ran and ran some more.


     Penny was having a ton of fun.

   
    Elsa retrieved her ball and everyone else's; work to do on ball stealing.


    The floating retrieve.


    On this retrieve, Penny stopped halfway and waited for Elsa to return.  So much running.

 
 

    Love this.


    Penny is truly amazing with other dogs.  She just loves everyone. 


    Just having fun.

   
    Super, flying Bull Terrier.
  
     Ahhhh, a water retrieve; so great to see Elsa in the water again.



    Wading through the seaweed; Penny loves the stuff. 


    I cannot believe how high she was.


    Penny wants to know everything that Elsa is doing.

   
    Dog pile. 

After we got back to Nicole's house; the girls were not done with their fun.  They continued to brawl until the moment that Elsa and I left.  Penny and Elsa are the best of friends and it is such a joy to watch them loving their together time. 

 

Penny's sleep over



Penny is staying at our house for a week; never a dull moment. The day starts off with some teeth cleaning.  






My handsome man, watching the girls.


He decides to join in for a short romp.








Elsa is so smart; she starts cleaning Penny's face and then nabs the toy when she lets go.




Always a watchful eye.






Taken just this morning.  Penny crawled ever so slowly into bed with Luke and he didn't even growl.  Progress.  



Wordless Wednesday, well sort of.


Much too hot so the games moved indoors.  Things did not slow down.  


Bull Terrier tasting.  


This goes on and on and on and on.


Fun and games, lots of teeth.


A little elbow chomping.


Sharing or trying not to share is the most fun.





Love Elsa's expression in this one, "so short one, you want the bone?"


Girls.


Playing in the blankets is fun.


Checking out tired Elsa.


I don't think that Penny can believe that Elsa is napping.  


Hmmmmm, the realization face.  Now what is she going to do?


Yay, Grandpa's not napping.


Maybe Luke wants to play.  Nope.  


Just chill'n.



She gives in to nap time.
