A different kind of “before and after”

First let me start off by saying “Thank you” for all of the comments I received on my last post regarding Emma’s Senior Ball. For some reason I am unable to post the comments to my blog…it just keeps saying “re-directing” and then goes nowhere. If anyone is having this same problem, and might have any info as to how to correct this, please let me know.

Now, I don’t think I have ever mentioned it here before, but I am a dog groomer. I went to school in 2008 for months of training…Then in March of 2009, I tore the ligament in my right wrist which over the next year, required me to have numerous surgeries and finally a total wrist replacement.

Here I am at school…I’m the one in the background! :)   (Pre-injury…I so miss those days!)

Anyway…The other day I happened to catch “the infamous Esther” in a rather strange place.

I had just came out of my powder room and saw this…

She had managed to climb up onto the bench portion of my kitchen table and was just sitting there…Probably to get closer to me, as you can see I was on the computer.

I also noticed…that it was time from her grooming/Spring hairdo.

Here is another “before” picture of “Esther the Jester”.

And this is a “during” shot.  You see, my dogs are so used to being groomed that this is typically what happens while I am working on them.

They fall asleep…Zzzzzz

And here is Esther now.

And then there is Ruby….

“Before”  She knew it was coming! It’s the bathing and blow drying part they aren’t crazy about! “No Mommy…I don’t realwy wike a bath.” :)

And Ruby after…

Now Ruby absolutely LOVES my brother-in-law Michael…Michael drives a dairy truck and usually stops by here every weekend with milk, eggs, butter, etc…

So I asked her if she got her new haircut for Uncle Michael, and this was the look I got. “What…Uncle Michael is here…where, where, where???? (He adores her too but has yet to admit it!!!) I actually think that’s the real reason he comes here…To see her!

And then there is Quinn…

Before…

And after…Aw done!

Bet they are glad that’s over…I still have Petey to do but lost my steam.

I bought an awesome lamp yesterday…I will share pictures of it on my next post…And hopefully a completed floorcloth!

May you all have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
