Our terrific groomer, Lori Fillion, came out as scheduled on Friday to groom all ye little ones, including new arrival Scamp. What a difference some grooming can do! That's a photo above that I took this afternoon of him, still sporting his post-grooming bandana.
Here he is with Alayne and Lori on Friday:
Followed up by a kiss:
Lori doubts Scamp was ever groomed before because he wasn't very happy about it, and squirmed so much Alayne had to hold him most of the time Lori was working on him. But the results speak for themselves!

Scamp is adorable, and very lucky indeed to be cared for at Rolling Dog Farm. He looks just like my black and white cockapoo Josie, they could almost be twins. Have a beautiful day!

Oh Scamp! You are one handsome and adorable guy! I'm glad you put up with the beauty treatment -- you must feel so much better now.

Wow, what a (lovely) transformation!
Congratulations, Lori! You've done an amazing job with Scamp!
He's now a very handsome guy (and quite affectionate, too:-)).

Such a handsome little fellow!I bet Scamp is going to experience all sorts of new "firsts" while living at RDF. A little love goes a long way with these little souls. Many thanks to Lori and RDF for all you do!

Oh my gosh, he's such a little doll!! He was even before he was cleaned up...who could resist that charming little guy? I just want to hug the stuffing out of him!! I'll bet he feels much better too. Way to go Lori....he looks fantastic!

What a handsome boy! I'll bet he feels a lot better now, and will enjoy the grooming experience more the next time.

As they say here down south - He cleans up real good! What a handsome dude......
Posted by: Peggy S. | January 28, 2013 at 03:34 PM
Wow! Another magical transformation. Lori- can I get one of those makeovers, too! :) Is it just me, or am I starting to see more "spaniel"...?
Lucky boy!

Oh he is looking quite handsome isn't he. What a cutie.
Posted by: Karen | January 28, 2013 at 01:53 PM
Doesn't look like Scamp is one to stay mad since he's giving that big kiss to Alayne. I bet he feels good being so clean. Maybe he can have his hair a little longer now that he's received his first big clean-up. Waiting to hear how he and Bentley make out with their eye exams.

Scamp is so ADORABLE!! Love how he is looking up at Alayne! Beautiful job Lori. Alayne you always have a smile of pure joy!
