Maybe I'll just sleep until my next hair appointment.

It really isn’t fair that I dissed Sadie’s bad base-of-the-tail grooming yesterday.  She DID win Best in Show at Westminster after all. (Scotties Rule!) And, really, it isn’t a grooming show.  Lord knows I’d win WORST in Show for grooming if I were in front of judge let me tell you.

I haven’t been groomed since before Christmas.  That’s LAST YEAR folks.  Now, I’ve been brushed a time or two.  And that’s about it.

All this snow just makes it terribly difficult to keep me nice and neat.  The way I like it. But the snow is slowly shrinking away.  And I’M GETTING A HAIRCUT ON SATURDAY.

Until then, I think I’ll just sleep. So nobody will see me.

What You Learned Today:

• We Scotties don’t get our characteristic looks by accident you know.  It takes work.  By a skilled professional.  (Not like the groomer who made those Bush Scotties look like big-eared, fat-faced Schnauzers! Don’t get me wrong – I love a Schnauzer.)  It also takes good breeding, but don’t tell PETA.  Whew! Don’t they have better things to do? Like finding homes for shelter dogs??? Let ’em eat bacon I say!
• When we’re groomed properly, it’s almost as if we don’t shed.  It’s all that darned undercoat that’s the problem. For me anyway. Remember: I get hand stripped.
• When I go to the beauty parlor, I’m a new man.  Just wait.  You’ll see.
