Last week Mr Bazil and Miz Scarlett had their doggy day spa day. We usually wash them at the local pet store every month or so, they have a hydrobath which is really good to use. However there are some things that even a devoted puppy mummy can't ( or won't ) do, like the doggie brazillian, and their nails, hence the doggy day spa here they come!
We tried a new one that just opened here in Bowral, called Dog Addiction and a lovely lady called Rebecca runs it and she did an amazing job on the puppies, and they even got a "pup" cake at the end for their afternoon tea when they got home. What a service!
We had a overnight in Sydney and decided to take the new newly groomed puppies to a leash free dog park, Cafe Bones check it out here anyway this is one of our favourite places to hang out and get the vibe. Even when we didn't have a dog we still used to go and watch all the dogs running around. The people there are all really friendly, my feeling is that anyone who loves dogs must be a nice person.
As our dogs live on a property they don't socialise a lot so this is also an attempt for us to show them they are not the only dogs on the planet! Sadly I don't think they get the message. Big Brave Baz is slightly better now that he has been there a couple of times and will run around with the other dogs for a little while, but poor little Scarlett spends most of the time either on my lap or cowering under the table.
The finale to this dog tale is that then puppies had their annual check up on Monday at the vet, 1kg difference between them ( guess who is the lighter?) they are both fit and healthy except that Mr Baz needs to come back next week to go under to get his teeth cleaned. I was mortified when I heard, they get chicken bones for their teeth, and just when I felt like I was about the get the Bad Puppy Mummy award, the vet said that is was nothing to do with his "parenting", he just doesn't chew his food enough and give his teeth a proper workout so now his reward for being a food bolter, is another visit to the vet next week.
Have you felt your "pet parenting" credentials under threat???
For the dog lovers here are some more photos from cafe bones.... enjoy!
