Spa Day for Mama!

Callie finally got a nice, long postpartum bath today. The pups are old enough for her to go on a brief furlough to Mud Puppies where we scrubbed and combed and blow-dried and brushed and got her all clean and fresh again! Ahhh... just what a postpartum mom needs! She tolerated everything quite well... the bath and drier, the teeth brushing (though clearly not a fan, and obviously this was an area her previous "guardians" had neglected), and the ear cleaning. Her nails need more work. They are quite long, and though we have trimmed them before, it will take some careful, frequent, routine trimming to get them really short again, since the quicks grow out when nails get long. We are going to try using a dremel to file them beginning this week since so many groomers swear by them now!
