Groomin' brilliant!

Well this week I has been mostly getting myself looking beautiful, (well - more beautiful), with another visit to my stylist, Jennifer Brennan at Doggy Dooz Grooming. At least this time I knew what to expect and didn't mind human friend taking photos of me at various stages of my titivation.

How can she possibly improve on this look?

Human friend was horrified when Jen pointed out that my lugs needed a good clean. 'So that's why she hasn't been able to hear me very well,' she said. Ha ha. It's actually selective hearing. You know - 'would you like to go for a walk' no problem hearing that one. 'Leave that alone' however, doesn't seem to make its way down the ear canal. Anyway, human friend even took a picture of one of the offending ears. Yuck! (Viewers of a nervous disposition look away now.)

 

Do not try this at home...

Feels really good having all that gunk hoiked out though. Then it was into the bath for a good scrubbing with the seaweed shampoo.

Errr. Are you sure I need a wash?

See. I told you I wasn't fat!

 Then a quick rub down with a fluffy towel and on to the drying table to meet the hand held and super-sized floor standing dryers.

Seconds away, round five

Oi! What you doin' back there?

I had a shorter haircut this time, which I think really suits me. Well, it will keep me much cooler in the hot weather (if we ever get any).

Ooh. Suits you!

Gotta keep looking good when you're a top model like what I am. Although I did get a bit worried when human friend showed me some of our new stock. Luckily, it was too small for me. Anyway, I'm not a pink kinda girl...

Carrying the Torch

Wowzah! Today was an historical day. Me and human friend went to Dunblane to see the Olympic torch bearer doing his thang.

Nice paintwork

 Dunblane's finest turned out to see torchbearer, Colin Keough, leg it around this cathedral city on what turned out to be a fine, sunny day. (Personally, I was hoping to see one of the better known locals, Andy Murray. But, apparently, he's off somewhere trying to win a tournament.)

Torchbearers wear white. Photographer wears camera equipment.

 We had a great time watching all the lorries, cars, police outriders, photographers, film crews, security guys 'n' gals, sundry Olympic event employees and some of the local population (which, I think, is less than the Olympic entourage) vying for space along the narrow high street.

Only quality ve-hi-cles for the Olympian crew don't ya know

Anyone got a light?

And we're off...

Up and running. With a wave for the cameras.

Colin Keough carried it all off with dignity and pride and even gave us a little wave as he passed by. 

Come in number 032. We need a light for the barbie.

Didn't know there were 'orses among the entourage...

Me and human friend enjoyed every minute (probably about five in total), and spent a good few hours after discussing the finer points of the event. (From the ladies' point of view it seemed to mostly involve 'hunky police officers'.)

I've got my eye on youse

 Then it was back to the day job...
