Ta Da! I went to a new groomer yesterday! You like?
You’d think I’d choke myself sleeping this way in my bucket. This is my “before” picture.
Oh boy! No more hairy face and ears. Woot Mon! Pay no attention to my snaggletooth look. I lost that bottom tooth in a fair fight with a fence. It was a noble act and very Scottie-like. This is my “after” picture.
Actually, you can’t tell much of a difference can you? Try this little movie on for size. You might get a better idea if how great I look – if you can get past the peep being silly.
Overheard at My House:
“Wow! Doesn’t he look great!”
“He sure does!”
“How’d it go? OK I guess?”
“Oh yeah, she was very nice and very careful. I appreciated that so much. And guess what.”
“What?”
“I had to go back out to the car so I asked Stuart to sit, stay and wait until I got back.”
“Yeah?”
“Do you know when I got back to the grooming area he was still sitting there?”
“Not very Scottie of him was it?”
About The Scottie Chronicles
Winston welcomes you to The Scottie Chronicles - a blog that began in 2009 as a voice for Stuart, a more than memorable black, brindle and white Scottish Terrier who captured hearts around the world. Stuart passed suddenly in December 2015 from cardiac hemangiosarcoma, a nasty cancer that took him far too early. If you love Scotties, please follow along. Arroooo!
Oh, boy, Stuart, you look like a million bucks! Great job! We think the new groomer did a wonderful job and you must have been very well behaved! Both of you must have been a little nervous since it was the first time. Have you seen yourself in the mirror yet? We think your peep found a keeper with this groomer.

Um…well….about my tail. That still looks like a BIG bent pipe cleaner. We haven’t tackled the tail yet. Sad, I know, but thanks for asking. When We do, it’ll be of the carrot variety.

It takes Us about a half hour to get there – one way. Not too, too bad. AND SHE HAND STRIPS!!!!!! Plus, she’s very nice. Her place is very clean and very quiet. She only does a few dogs a day. Not a gazillion. I mean really. A gazillion? With moi around? I think not.
