I was heading out this afternoon to take some photos for today's blog of the blind horses enjoying a beautiful late summer day on pasture, but I didn't get past the kitchen. There was blind Callie grooming blind Briggs, who had stopped playing with his tennis ball while he enjoyed the spa session.
That's right, deaf Stuart is not the only groomer we have here. Long-time readers of the blog have seen other photos of Callie at work, almost always grooming our black dogs. (For a rare exception to the "black-is-best" rule, see this post.) And if they're not pure black dogs, then she's grooming the black part of their coats. Since she's blind this can't be a color preference, but we've never quite figured it out. So it didn't surprise me to see which part of Briggs she was grooming.
As you can see, Briggs sure was relishing it!
Callie typically prefers grooming the back half of dogs, while Stuart is all about the front end, so if only we could get them to offer a tandem grooming service we'd be all set!
TGS deluxe! - has a ring to it.

I love these spa sessions!
The primary grooming of black dogs is a stumper; maybe it has to do more with texture of the fur. Two things are for sure....we won't know the answer and this is one of the cutest things to see. : )

That's so funny! I can hear it now...ahhh, a little to the left, please, ahhhh, that's it!
I enjoy your blogs so much!
Who can understand the mind of the dog! But, that's what make them so much fun is their totally different likes & dislikes. Each having their own unique personality!

hmmmmm how much do these grooming sessions cost? Nail trims included? I may have to bring my pups to Ovando for a session.
