graceful dance calls for summer change slip that coat


Warmer days and dog play times meant something new for Maggie’s wardrobe. During our Melbourne Covid lockdown grooming services for dogs were closed along with almost everything else. As Maggie makes home grooming inpossible for Jill and I, ( we did try but could do very little) her coat became thicker and matted. This in turn meant she heated up when let loose in dog parks. Her groomers, (who always claim she is a little angel) had prepared for Maggie’s coat and indicated she would need clipping before they even saw her.
Having slipped out of her 2 kilo coat Maggie can again dance gracefully with her canine mates in the park.

A 2 kilo coat — wow! My cat weighs not much more than that. Admittedly, she is petite.
I appreciate your creative take on the prompt words.

Thanks Magarisa. I could see Maggie somewhere in those prompt words. There was a lot of fur, a very thick coat.

Ah she looks very beautiful with her summer super-trim. Do your groomers tell you off if there is too much matting? They do here!

Since that photo we had the legs trimmed back also, too many burs were still being caught. We have only been mildly chastised once. They were expecting Maggie to be matted. I have shown my scarred hands, they know we cannot groom her.
