Partial Groom

Mum decided that today she would give me a bath after going to the doggie park! The thing about baths is that I don't really like them that much so mum takes a shower with me so I behave (mum can't believes that she's admitting this). After the bath, mum wanted to give me a quick groom (just a blow dry & brush). Usually mum likes to groom my entire coat, but since we moved to California, she hasn't been grooming me that much. Mum thinks that she needs a grooming friend to keep her honest! (we used to groom with 2 other Airedale people in Dallas every Tuesday night). Here's my grooming kit. Mum says it's an ongoing process of collecting equipment! As you can see, there's all KINDS of things in there! Anyway, here's me PRIOR to being combed out. See how happy I am? I LOVE to be dirty and tangled! Here I am after getting brushed and blown dry. Mum thinks I have a fu man chu beard! Can you even tell I've been brushed? Can I get down now, mum? After we're done, I get a treat and a walkie! It's very pleasant today in California. Mum says that it's suppose to be in the mid-80's by this weekend! Yay!
