The dogs were a little difficult to manage on our morning walk this morning. I think it was a combination of things - there was fresh snow on the ground (which they ADORE) and they had extra energy from yesterday because we didn't walk as much as we usually do when it's not so frigid.
They romped, pulled, rolled in the snow (well, Heidi did that) and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
When we got home, I decided to give Heidi a bit of a haircut. She develops this tuft of hair on her chest that makes her look like a lion. It's very cute, but it gets tangled and matted. Her trim looks pretty good for a home jobbie. She's very well behaved during the trimming and brushing too.
We haven't taken them for a grooming since Heidi began to limp. Now that her limp is gone, I'm hesitating because I'm worried that she won't be able to stand up for hours while they do the bath and grooming. I don't want grooming to be a traumatic experience for her and I also don't want to be a pain in the arse customer at the groomer.
Anyone know what groomers think of arthritic, post-operative dogs who can't stand up for long periods of time?

Sometimes vet clinics do grooming... not so much here in Ottawa though. Maybe your vet would know of somebody?
