Too Schnauzerly

We tried a new groomer for Tamber today but the results were disappointing - too Schnauzerly again. The groomer didn't give her the round furnishing around the head that a Cairn should have - took out too much below the cheeks. It is not the worst cut she's had but definitely not what we wanted. The search for a groomer will continue.

Tamber & Colin went to Flyball practice in Roanoke with Laura at the Pooch Professor's place. For a change, Tamber was one of the more experienced Flyballers in the class - the rest are just getting started. Colin just watched the Flyball practice to get used to the new place, new dogs, etc. After practice they had a short play time and Colin got to play with the other dogs. He still needs to learn proper socialization skills and this was a good supervised environment. Several of the dogs had to tell him to back off and stop being so bratty. Boo Boo even gave him the alpha roll - didn't bite or hurt him at all but taught him a little respect for other dogs. After that Boo Boo and Colin got along just fine - no hard feelings and no more bratty behavior.
