Spa Day

Shiloh had her annual day of pampering and primping on Friday. After the success of last year (she got to spend more time outside and was more comfortable outside) we decided that shaving her down would be an annual event. Now this year we didn't have to go nearly as short as last year. This past winter we made sure that we brushed her the right way so her undercoat didn't mat up on us. So Friday we took her to PetSmart. There they brushed, shaved, and bathed her. We also paid the extra $15 for the spring Pick Me Up add on. So she got her teeth brushed, a re-moisturizer worked into her skin/coat. I think that was her favorite part. When the dogs are bathed, the groomers give them a little doggie massage. Same when they do the re-moisturizer. So Shiloh was loving her double massage. Another good part of the re-moisturizer is that it is scented and they use the complimenting doggie perfume. A few times a year it is "seasonally scented" rather than the regurlar fruity, fluffy, overpowering smells. So from Friday until about Sunday/Mondayish, Shiloh smelled liked jellybeans! Here are some before and after pictures. Isn't she so pretty?

This was taken about 6 weeks after Shiloh got her potty trail trimed/shaved. That's why her butt is bald.

Yes, Shiloh is very skinny in these pictures. She lost around 15 pounds (which is A LOT for a dog) because of intestinal worms. About a week ago we de-wormed her and now we are working on bulking her back up. She loves it because she is now getting an extra meal a day of puppy food. Lots of calories, protien, and carbs to help her put the weight back on. She's doing pretty good. Her ribs and hips aren't nearly as pronouced as they used to be. Another couple weeks witht the puppy chow should do the trick.
