Trixie had a spa day yesterday. I have been taking her to this specific groomer for quite awhile now and something has gone terribly wrong. I think I suggested a slight change in plan the last time and that has thrown them off.

What has gone wrong you might ask? Well, I DID say do a summer cut and they did do that but they also removed all her fluff off her legs — I guess that is what a summer cut is. And, I asked them to shave her ears so they would stand up like a proper yorkie but they went back to the “bob” thing. I guess I will have to cut them myself.
She seemed fine after her spa day — she is usually crashing for the rest of the day when I get her home. But, she seemed very perky and had the zoomies immediately when we got in the house.
Well, at least she won’t need another spa day for a while — this place has gone up considerably and, well, they didn’t shave her ears and they did a good number of her legs so, we will see. Might have to test out Petco but Trixie does like the people here and she doesn’t fight to go so, oh, I don’t know, it is only hair. It will grow back.
When I went out first thing this morning, there was a very small, very red cardinal on the grass, hopping around, doing birdie zoomies I guess. I didn’t have the phone with me so no pics but it was so lovely and bright. We have had cardinal families in those photinia bushes every years, several families, so I guess this was a baby from this years flock. It flew back up into one of the bushes so I guess that is where their nest is. I will try to catch a glimpse of it again — with my camera! I know they say that when you see a cardinal it is a visit from a loved one. Well, in my yard, it is like they are having a family reunion — every year! My next door neighbor’s yard has been declared a refuge for songbirds by the National Audubon Society so we have lots and lots of birds around here but in my yard, mostly cardinals. I love them. My yard is just a yard, not a lot of garden area and not much color so they certainly do add color to the area!

Hi BB! Oh, I wish cardinals would come to Colorado. They are rare here.
Trixie looks happy, but I'm glad her Yorkie fur will come back soon.
Hi,Pommy — I had no idea there were not cardinals in Colorado! That doesn’t seem fair. Yes, Trixie is happy but a little naked! I might try my hand at grooming her myself. I am just hesitant to clip her nails — I think I could do her hair.
Wow! Trixie sure did get a summer cut!! Actually, I think she looks cute.
Hi, Granny! Yes, she did didn’t she? I think she looks cute too and I really do prefer her short because she drags the leaves in the house like crazy when she is really fuzzy. I think she must feel good because she has been acting crazy — zooming and jumping and running and throwing toys and just living her best Yorkie life! And growling at me, for some reason!
