Grooming…head style

Above is the dog Katy mentioned and below is what she wrote.

Here’s the Calender Apso for June:  (His name or date is not listed).  You can tell that his “bangs” are cut, though, in between his eyes above his stop, and extending in that inverted “V”.  Maybe some over his eyes, too,  extending back from the outside edge of his eyes; hard to tell.   It also looks as though his muzzle hair is cut on a bit of an angle descending from around his mouth.  And all of his head hair blends in with his long ear hair. 

 I’m going to have to keep Zeke’s hair from draggin the ground, for sure.  If he’ll let me cut it along the lines of his sexy little body, and keep his head and muzzle hair a reasonable length, we’ll be in good shape.  Since I explained to him that it’s just simply not acceptable for Apso’s to have matted hair, and when I find a matt, we go and “remove” it immediately (if possible), he’s been much more agreeable with his brushings.  He also seems to enjoy his baths much more, especially since the weather turned hot!  He’s a wild and crazy guy!   And he seems to know how gorgeous his is (owing in no small part to the fact that we tell his how handsome he is all the time!).  Love the blog!  Katy

This beautiful photo was taken by the late Barbara Ratledge, Las-A-Rab Lhasa Apsos in Canada. Barbara made several trips to the Himalayas and was an avid supporter of the Gompa dogs. During one of her trips she met, and interviewed, Lama Gyen Yeshe.

Marley and Me

Late last night, teary-eyed, I finished Marley & Me. Eli, my husband Rick’s overly-large chocolate Labrador Retriever, is a dog I reluctantly live with. His heart is as big as he is. He follows me around, driving me absolutely nuts. I prefer a far less needy breed! This book was not only entertaining, but gave me insight into Labrador Retrievers. It’s a best selling book and I highly recommend it.
