Where did my puppy go?

The dogs came home from kennels looking shaggy & smelling rather unpleasant. As they live in the house with us I do like to keep them looking tidy & smelling nice but it's not as easy as it used to be when I had my dog grooming salon in the garage of our old house. Now I have to wait for good weather & set everything up outside in the garden which wasn't easy over the winter. DH has plans to build a block shed in which their bath & other equipment will be set up & we have just been awarded planning permission but there are other priorities first so garden grooming how it's got to be for a least another year I think.

Yesterday I was asked if Oscar was a Labradoodle so I thought that the time had come to show his true colours:

He didn't enjoy the bath, blaster or clippers but DH helped by supplying endless tibits which made the whole process as lot less painful. Hopefully next time he won't have 3 meals worth!

Annie was also made beautiful but she's an old hand at this so didn't protest at all.

See how much he's grown since mid March:
