Ebi & Emma Full-Grooming ~

Yep, just sent the duos for full-grooming AGAIN on last Sunday noon. I remembered the last grooming they had was only on 11 April. Anyway, after much consideration, i've decided to stop signing up for the "grooming packages" offered by RPP, which includes 3 basic groom & 1 full groom. Over the past 1 year plus, i've been getting the packages which requires me to complete all the grooming within 2 months & approximately every 2.5 mths, i have to pay $180 for 2 dogs to renew their grooming packages. It works out to $900 a year if i've bought 5 packages.

Reason being to stop is;- since the basic & full grooming has to be completed within 2 months from the date i signed up the package, it means i'll send them for their grooming every 3 weeks over 2 months. However, i realised sometimes - there is nothing much to groom, eg. nails/ears/hygiene areas (all of which i can do myself, just that is a matter of want to or not. =p) Thus, i decided to stop the package grooms & send them for full-grooming every 2 months instead.

Minus points;- from now on, i have to bath them myself more often (they are bathed every weekly), unless i got lazy & send them to the groomers.. =p & maybe every 2 weeks, i'll have to do basic groom on them & get myself scratched.. ={

Plus points; they won't get to look too messy as full-grooming is fixed at every 2 months, save on the transport as i only travels to RPP once every 2 months instead of 4 times over 2 months & most importantly, i gets to save $300+ a year! (Oh yeah, i can use the $300 to buy more collars & more food to dehydrate!) Tsktsk~ (",)

My calendar too has been marked on the dates to remind myself to send the dogs to Marc every 2 months.. Hurhur^^

Enough said, here's the photos of their "after-groom"..~ =)

Ebi & his flat mohawk, LOL~ Didn't have the thickness of fur to make it puffy as he was still pretty neat when sent to Marc. I'll let it grow for another 2 more months & ask Marc to cut Mohawk again. Though flat, but still looks good. Hehe~

This is the new drawer c/w sliding mirror i was talking about. Since this is lower than the shelve, Emma can reach the hammie cage easier. She does this all the time whenever she hear noises coming out of the cage, especially at night. I does pray & hope she don't try anything funny to them when nobody's home.

Ebi & Emma @ PMDR~

Sunday - very very HOT day. The weather is simply killing! Dreaded going outta the house but nevertheless, i brought Ebi & Emma to PMDR for a short run before i head them over to Marc @ RPP. I've changed their full-grooming appointment to Sunday afternoon @ 4pm coz i can't make it on 30 May morning. As usual, there were soooo many dogs @ the dog-run but no schnauzers @ sight. The 2 of them started getting all anxious the moment i turned in & parked the car. Whined & whined non-stop. Got off the car & they were basically dragging me into the dog-run. Off-leashed the duos & let them run the moment i took a quick glance & see its all safe. Hahaa~ The place still smelt rather bad but at least, there isn't much unpicked poos around this time round - so not too bad. Quite a handful of Goldens & Shetlands today, Ebi had fun running around & making friends while playing chase. Oh, did i mention Ebi got accidentally stepped by a GR when he went over, wanting to play with the group of them? *Ouch*! Emma on the other hand was glued to me & followed wherever i was walking. She panicked when i left them for a few secs to get the towel from the car, the worried look on her face was really funny! We stayed for 45mins & left for RPP. They were so tired-out in the car. Reached Marc's place @ 4pm exactly & handed them over for grooming. Asked for a mohawk on Ebi & puppy-face for Emma. I was back to pick them up @ 7pm. Photos of the 'after-grooming' will be up uploaded later. (",)

Emma on the A-frame. I'm so proud of her! I used to have to lure her to go up & down the ramp with treats. Now, she can do it on command - provided she's happy to do it. Nevertheless, clever gal~!

Emma conquered the A-frame with no problem. Ebi, on the other hand.. *siGhZz*

Happy gal

Goldens! There was another 3 of them. Ebi got stepped by 1 of them accidentally when he went over wanting to play with them.. see lah, kpo summore!! LOL

Shetland puppy, very cute! He's the only 1 that came to play with Emma without getting barked at. Any dogs that is slightly bigger or of the same size that comes near, Emma will scream & scare them off. Aiyoyoooooz~

Finally, the duos!

They sure had loads of fun running around the big field & playing chase with the other doggies. Though it was a very sunny day & i was melting under the sun - everything is worth seeing how happy & enjoying my duos are. =p

Ebi @ The Park

These were taken 2 weeks ago. Didn't realise that i've forgotten to upload them here until i was browsing thru the photo albums. Hehe~

Anyway, these was taken on a fine evening after work wherby i cycled Ebi in the poochie pouch, to the nearest park which was 5-8 minutes away from home. I cycled till the middle part of the park, took a rest & off-leashed Ebi to do his business (i does pick up the poo ok? =.="), let him drink some water & run about the pavillion. Rather fun because there isn't much people/dogs around. Here's some pictures i took.. Hurhur^^

Tired.. *yawns*

After that i cycled home with Ebi running beside me, with me holding onto his leash on my left hand. I must say we 'co-ordinated' rather well & he knows relatively well how to keep a safe distance from the wheels, run slow & stop at the right time. Ebi enjoyed his short little running trip home & so did i. Cleaned him up, gave him water & he laid on the bed almost immediately. LOL~ I'll do this more often to make him run & exercise, perhaps twice a week or so. Emma on the other hand, i tried the same way to bring her out to buy dinner the day before, but there's no way she could co-ordinate & run beside me. Thus, i had to poochie-pouch her all the way. *Sigh* But if i could off-leash her, i can trust her running before/after me wherever i go. But, hell no! Way too dangerous. So now, i'll 'exercise' with Ebi first. =p

Oh yeah, im happy! I finally got my hands on Sis's *un-used cupboard* - cleared all the clothes, bags & eg. (to be donated off) then cleaned it up & now re-use it for Ebi & Emma's stuffs ; beds, carriers, new bowls, apparels, pee pads & toys. Yippee! The sense of satisfication when i packed all their barangs in... *great*! No longer having to find space to squeeze their stuffs nor having their stuffs falling outta my cupboard. LOL~ I also got a new 3-tier drawer with a sliding mirror to replace my 3-tier shelve. One of the drawer shall be used to store their collars, brush, grooming products & eg. Suddenly, i have the urge to revamp my room. Next i would really like to repaint the room - but guess that will have to wait. Muahahaa~
