Today was a family affair. Two of my three dogs were brother and sister from the same house, and the third one closed out the day. Here is how Wednesday went!
Darling Delilah the Long-Haired Chihuahua
Delilah was first, and she is a long-haired chihuahua. That is exactly why she gets a haircut — that long coat needs managing, and when it is done right she comes out of the van looking like a whole new little lady.
She is a sweet old girl and a gentle soul. We took our time with her feet and her nails, and she stood through all of it without much fuss. She left with a fresh clip and she looked absolutely adorable.
Mighty Mike the Long-Haired Chihuahua
Mike came next, and Mike is Delilah’s brother. Not from the same litter, but from the same household — so he is a long-haired chihuahua too. Where Delilah is white, Mike is more of a creamy color, and he is a very sweet boy.
His nails had gotten long on him. I take him down to the same length as his sister, and his body just grows faster than hers does, so we had some catching up to do. He is a tiny guy who likes to scooch himself into a little ball, but he was a good boy for the whole thing.
Mike is all finished and back home with his sister. He is mighty in name and mighty in spirit, and he is a very small dog.
Finnegan
Finnegan was the last dog of the day. He is a white boy with a speckled muzzle and soft floppy ears, and he came in wearing his purple harness and a blue patterned bandana.
He was happy to see the snacks and happy to be the center of attention. By the time he was finished, he was ready to head home and settle in for the evening.
That is a wrap on Finnegan for today, and a wrap on the van.
Three dogs, one busy van, and a brother and sister who got to go home together. That is a good Wednesday.
Until next time, my furry friends!
