I have to Brag-

Chelsea is really a pistol, and I know my husband has had a few moments when he has wondered if we were nuts bringing this turbo fuzz bomb into our already 'full-tilt' lives. Training has been going just 'okay', the neighbors all think we are nuts as we go flying down the sidewalk behind 67lbs of raw energy, and there are days when we just don't know what to do to stop the nipping, jumping, begging, digging, plant eating, tissue chewing, etc., etc., and then in there somewhere we were afforded a little measure of grace.........

Chelsea went to the groomer on Saturday and according to the groomer she was 'an angel'. Very little nipping, no growling, no need for a muzzle, she just sat quietly and had the matts combed out from behind her ears- the groomer said she got a little aggitated, but calmed down when the groomer sang the songs from 'West Side Story' in her ear.

We are so proud of her- we thought for sure they were going to reprimand us again for her aggressive/ defiant grooming behavior- but instead she surprised us all!!!

We've been beaming all weekend, FINALLY, she has done something right! It makes up for all the other antics! And she smells really good too!

Way to go Chelsea. I know you were working with her, Up. Your patience has paid off. What song did she like best?

Auntie Paula
That's great! It's the little victories that help us from losing it.

I have been nervous about taking Lola to the dog park, because she growls at dogs at class. But I know I need to take her to socialize her. Well we went on Sunday and she was great! She played nice, no growling no bullying. Though she did have to jump on all the uprights. :oops: And she really wore herself out, so we'll be doing that again.

Just wher you think you're at the end of your rope they do something to surprise you.
Wow! YAY!! I'm sure it's no walk in the park to have to sit at the groomers, with all that hair. I get antsy just getting my hair colored, and she has an entire body of it. Way to go!!
Paula-

I think the groomer proablably sang the intire soundtrack- Chelsea was there for six hours! I've been humming "I am pretty.. Oh so pretty..."

UP.
I can hear it now! It's not "West Side Story", it's "My Fair Lady"!

Who's going potty in the morning?!?
Spruced up and looking in my prime!
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper!
Just get me to the tree, that big ol' willow tree,
For Gosh sakes get me to the tree on time!
Ron, you have far too much time on your hands!

I got such a good belly laugh out of that one.

Thanks
Yeah Chelsea!!!

Yuppers when they act "good" we are like proud parents beaming and taking the credit...when they act the other way....well we still luv them and have something to compare it to when they are good!

I bet she does look pretty as she's a cutie in her avatar!
