That Noisy Thing

I don't like that thing...

GET IT OFF MY FACE!!

Grooming Routines

I'm Jingle Bell. What am I doing up here? This happens to be our grooming table. It's time for our daily grooming session!

We have to be brushed daily so that our hair will not get matted.
Look at the dead hair that has been brushed and combed out!
Christmas has never had her teeth brushed. The human just realized that we need to have our teeth brushed too!
We are learning to get use to having this "stick" in our mouths.
We are still in the learning stage so the human is making it fast.
Once a week we get our ears clean with this ear cleaner and hair in our earholes will be tweezed out.
Our paws are checked and...
if the hair around our paw pads gets long, they get trimmed.
Our nails are done every alternate day since the nail grinder only trims very little off our nails. This will not be done on the grooming table. We get this done whenever we are resting.
Since we have hot weather where we live, we get our baths twice a week.
On a hot and sunny day, we get our baths outside.
We get dry playing zoomies...
and on the sofa! There's no need for a hairdryer!! By the time the fourth one is done bathing, the first one has already been dried and ready for brushing.
After all that, we get to look neat and clean, soft and fluffy and huggable too!!

Do you want a hug? A kiss? We have FRESH BREATH!!

What's That Stain

What is that red stain in our bath towel?

Blood stain? Who is bleeding?!
Can you see my toe nails there? Do they look long? Aunty Diana think they do!
So she decided to try this nail cutter to cut my nails as she thinks it'll be faster than the nail grinder. She tricked me into letting her cut my nails by giving me a treat. Then she cuts too deeply and blood was oozing out from my toe nail.
That's my toe nail that was cut too deeply.
Aunty Diana used cornflour to stop the bleeding.

I was a good girl, I did not cry. Aunty Diana didn't even know that she has cut too deeply until she saw blood in her hand!

She was feeling so bad that she has hurt me and promised that she'll never use that nail cutter on me again. This nail grinder is safer because it grinds away very little of our nails each time and that makes it slow and we don't have all day for our nails to be done. So it's like we'll have a pedicure everyday!

Who Does Your Nails

Our humans said we have been very uncooperative when it comes to having our nails trimmed. We just HATE this nail clipper, don't you? We wouldn't even have it near us! Since we wouldn't let them clip our nails, we have to go to the groomer's.

The Pet Salon/groomer recommended us this...a pet nail grinder! The label states NO NEED TO USE NAIL CLIPPERS. Isn't that great?That opening is where you place your nail.
But it can be used without the cap.
We don't mind having our nails trimmed with this, all except Jingle Bell. Aunty Diana has been trying it out with her for some time and Jingle Bell finally gave in with some treats and encouragement. This nail grinder gets very little off our nails but we don't mind it as it doesn't hurt like the clipper does.

Now we'll have our nails done at home....EVERYDAY! Can you believe that?!

Clip, Clip, Clip!

Mummy, watch my ear.....

Watch my eyebrow.....

Not too short, okay?

Ouch...stop pulling my ear!

What are you two doing out there? Wait till you get your turn to be up here!

Are we done yet, Mummy?

Hmph! That's enough Mummy.

Hey, hey, watch my throat!

Finally, after all those clippings and a good shower, I get to rest on Grandma's bed.

Kuan Pet Salon

Yes, I know this place and I love to be here. After our run in the park, we headed to this place.

That's the ladyowner, coming out to greet us.

Mummy chatting with Uncle Stanley and Minnie trying to make friends with that guy.

Guess he is still in his halloween "costume".

Do you want to come out to play?

Hey, why is Minnie in there?

Uncle Stanley, Minnie is asking who is that napping there.

Minnie, have you checked him out?


*whisper* Shhh...don't let his owner hear us, I think he is a fat schnauzer.


Minnie, let's not disturb Uncle Stanley, he has customers, let's sit here and wait.

Minnie, sit still and be a good girl!

Be patient, we can get our treats later.

This Minnie, just can't keep still.

There she goes looking for her shampoo.

This fella is still snoozing despite the activities that are going on. Uncle Stanley said he's boarding long term and he's already made this his home.

Minnie, don't disturb. It's not nice to disturb when one is snoozing.

And these two waiting for their turns to be groomed. The one on top has been complaining since the moment we stepped into the shop.

Minnie, what do you think you are doing? Are you play pretending you are the shop supervisor?

Checking out your stock?

Hey, why isn't anybody serving me?

I demand to speak to the shop manager!

We are just pretending over there. Well, Aunty Diana wanted to get a bag. What do you think of this one?

Hey, sleepyhead, you finally open your eyes!

But we can't play with you, time for us to go home.

Okay, Minnie, you can sit with Aunty Diana at the back and I'll take the front seat beside Mummy.

Don't wake us till we are home!

This is the bag Aunty Diana bought...

Minnie's shampoo, but I get to use it too!

And these are our favourites!!

After all those excitement and a good bath with that shampoo......

...zzz.........zzz..........zzz......
