Groomed Caitlyn yesterday!!!
I was smart and brought my own tack box and this was very smart. This way, Marilyn and I could do a full-on tag-team routine on Caity. We were both brushing away and having fun all the while. I also learned that I do have most of the right tools and what I still need to get. I have all the basics and need to pick up some little items yet. We also got to play with Marilyn’s shiny new electric table. I only have one word for that table – JEALOUS!!! That table is AWESOME. Caitlyn like being able to jump on and off when it was lowered and it was a breeze to simply step off into the elevated tub when it was raised up. Marilyn’s very lucky to have this new tool. Here are the few photos I took. This is Marilyn just starting to dry Caitlyn, straight out of the tub. Click through for fullsize image:   Here is Caitlyn on the new table. Click through for fullsize image:   Daddy, get me out of here! Click through for fullsize image:   Almost done drying… Click through for fullsize image:   Done drying and outside in the dog run. Click through for fullsize image:   In the end, I learned a lot more and Caitlyn was show ready. And she wasn’t mad at me for putting here through all this. Having a mentor like Marilyn is truly priceless. She’s a huge wealth of experience and wisdom. Thanks for sharing with us Marilyn!!! Vance |

| Caitlyn looks fabulous!! Oh I so wish I had someone to teach me!! You are so lucky! Make a list of what all you have in your tack box and I will just copy!!  |
| She looks so cute! How do you keep her mouth so white and clean!! She looks so sweet!  I love them when they look like that, all fluffy and stuff! xx  |
| She looks gorgeous, but then she always does. It is great that you get such support as you learn to groom. It really helps. I have had a few such sessions with Amber. Still have so much to learn, though! |
Vance & Caitlyn are both very good students! I told him to wear grubby clothes as we'd be working. He listened.  I forgot to tell him to bring a change of clothes for after Caitlyn's bath  I like students that aren't afraid to work along with me. I think they learn alot more that way than just watching. Wish I'd have had more time to do more trimming than we did but I got it started & Wanda can put the finishing touches on the trim job. Almost 6 hours is a long time for a young dog too put up with. But Caitlyn did just wonderful. Not too sure about me! Let's just say I was feeling my age!  |

  too cute for words.... |
| Caitlyn looks beautiful as always. Her expressions are priceless, what a cutie. I'll be interested in your tack list also. Do you use anything special on her very white face? |
she looks great!  How awesome you have someone so close to learn from! Sounds like it was a great learning experience! |
| Caitlyn looks great! Cindy |
Great pics! A change of clothes for after the bath? I don't bother wearing anything more than underwear when I bath Ru.. I guess that's a little inappropriate for your students though  |

Sounds like it was a great learning experience!Actually, Marilyn is not what anyone would really consider close... It's a three and a half hour drive - 178 miles. But spending time with her is worth every minute behind the wheel. Caitlyn either sleeps or chews on whatever I have in the back seat for her. She really doesn't mind... least not until we hit rumble strips! We found out Saturday that she's not a big fan of the strips that are full lane width. She was actually hopping like she was walking on hot concrete! Funny, but I felt bad for her. Vance |
