So Dr. Olin wanted me to monitor Winnie's water intake since he is concerned about the leaking. To this end I put my big 4-c water measuring cup in Winnie'e pen. Sunday the dogs drank about 3 cups.
Now Sunday was a big day. I bathed Winnie - she was pretty good and then spent 30+ minutes blowing her coat dry and trying to brush her hair out straight. I got really tired of it but after 30 minutes she was mostly dry and looked a bit like a gorilla! I haven't attempted to scissor any part of her since my meeting with Florence. Winnie was more calm on the brush out this time but I did have her on the washing machine and did not make her lie on her side. I plan to work towards having her on her side becuase it will be much easier for me!! Winnie was willing/able to eat occasional treats for most of her blowout except at the very end. I did take her out and she really had to go so perhaps that is why. Dolce paced around at my feet but we did not have any grooming related incidents. After Winnie was all fancy then I also bathed/blew out Dolce. He coat is SO much thinner than Winnie's and dries out SO fast - woo hoo!!
After the baths Tim and I loaded up the dogs and went to Mr. Pickles to grab a sub sandwich. The dogs waited in the car. Then we headed over to GG Park and actually found street parking and ate our subs before unloading the dogs and heading over to the ACC Pet Pride Day. Winnie and Dolce got a lot of attention from people on the street which is rather unusual....must be my mad grooming skills = )
Dolce did very well at PP Day. This was a very hectic event. W started off a bit concerned but quickly got more comfortable and seemed to take most of it in stride. We met some friends and got Winnie's license taken care of.
It was VERY hot and sunny. The dogs drank 3c of water at home and about 1/2 while out at the park.
Monday they drank 1.5 ish cups which is what Winnie should drink a day.
