#Gizmo's first #Santa Fe #grooming

apres grooming

So clean, so barbered. 

and the constant smile, with eyes we can see. 

Gizmo got a Santa Fe grooming today, with a bath.  His first in New Mexico.  We’re worried and wondering: how will he look?  Will the groomer hurt him?                                                          

Our previous dog, the Shih Tzu named Beowulf, fell off a groomer’s table and that was the beginning of his back problems.  We have reason to worry.

 Our friend and the woman who arranged his adoption, Ginny Weissman, suggested that his hair be cut and the hair between his pads be trimmed to help him avoid the burrs in our neighborhood.                                                                        When Gizmo returned, he looked beautiful, like a relatively short-haired movie star!  He was jumping around and difficult to get a good picture of.  He was also thirsty, hungry and anxious to urinate.  He also looked thinner and younger, a most successful grooming.
