Once they came back home, they were so FRISKY, and Tasha kept "hollering" at me for making her go, so there is lots of movement in these pictures!

Lacey and Sugar don't approve of all the noise, so they sat in the other room.

That's all! They get a short clip for winter, as the jackets and sweaters will cause them to mat.

So fresh and so clean clean. :)

[kaycountrygal]

Oh My Goodness, The little angels look better... so white & clean. They're so cute. I would not want to have to listen to FOUR of them barking at the same time LOL. My ONE makes enough noise for me. Of course, here when LilGirl barks, so does Annie or vice versa. I like to look at pet photos... thanks. Kay in NC

[Freedom]

Kay, remember, w/my foster dog Willy, I have FIVE of them here! LOL

[fritz03]

All the Fluffs look good,they look very happy they they have been freshly groomed,hope they can stay that way although it didn't look that way before they went.

[Lilith Cherry]

Fluffs , you all look so smart and chic with your new haircuts! Please Tasha, stay clean and don't roll in anything just for a while honey! Lots of pets for all of you and for the cats too.:D

[lute]

They look so squeeky clean and happy!

[Varga]

You take all five to the groomer at once? lol, they must love you there as I'm sure it keeps them busy for a little while! :D

Great pictures. They look like little clouds on legs :)

[happylabs]

They all look so pretty and white. I love the pics where there is a blur from their tails wagging. :):love:

[K9karen]

You KNOW I'm LMAO that Tasha is yelling at you. :D:D:D

Fluffy white clouds! So handsome/beautiful

My groomer works a half day on Wednesday, and she just books us. I drop off the 5 at 8:30 AM and pick them up at noon. They are quicker than many bichons as I have them in a short clip, not any of the typical round bichon cuts. Most times, she has her Dad come down and do all the baths.

I am so lucky to have found this woman. Both her parents did conformation with Cavaliers and Spaniels, so she has been grooming since age 9 (yes, she went to school for it when she was older!) She is working on her PhD in Dog - Human Relations, and has been a Godsend for Tasha, my puppy mill rescue. She doesn't rush Tasha, doesn't muzzle her, often has to put her down and work on one of the others while Tasha calms a bit. She just lets Tasha work it through and see this won't hurt. I've benefited so much, as I do them here at home myself every other week, and they only see the professional every 3 months.

She is also working on a Doctorate in Holistic Animal Therapy, should be completing that in another month or so.

She shows / owns 5 Cavaliers. The groom salon is in the lower level of her parents raised ranch, hence my comment about her Dad "coming down." Her mom has a pet inn for boarding pets.

Laugh all you want! Next time, I will video it, so you can HEAR the ruckus!

[krazyaboutkatz]

They all look great and I bet they feel much better too.:) It sounds like you found a great grooming place for them too.:)

[Varga]

Cool. Sounds like an awesome groomer you found yourself there :)

Thank you for actually understanding that concept! It seems like every day now at least someone comes in with a matted dog and says they want them kept longer for winter and we have to tell them we can't do that because they're so matted!

[cassiesmom]

Awww, Fluffs! You look beautiful! I'm with Happylabs- the pictures where there's a blur from wagging tails make me :D

Tasha, please don't yell at mum. She does so much for you! ;)
