A couple weeks ago Sassy, our last “child” was having a terrible time finding a place cool enough to sleep. She panted a lot at night, moved from room to room and wanted outside in the bitter cold a lot.

Sassy likes her bed during storms.

Sassy is a blonde cocker spaniel and like her “mommie” she about 20 pounds overweight.  Her coat is as thick as a Dorset sheep and I mean really wooly!!

My precious wooly girl, Sassy!

We tried to wait on her spring trip to the beauty shop (four or five times a year is why she is so wooly).  She was miserable and we needed a full night of sleep so I call Robin our wonder groomer of Classy Pets and Robin had an opening which we grabbed.

All of the ear rubbing and treats all the way to the groomer did not calm Sassy down much because as soon as we went down the mountain and took a right on Rt 311, she knew what was coming!  Four hours later my baby came home excited and couldn’t wait to get in the house in her warm bed.  She looks 20 pounds lighter don’t you think???

Sassy girl with her new do.

Wrinkles do show up more if you cut your hair! 🙂  She has a crooked smile due to a mini stroke a couple of years ago.  

She doesn’t look as thin from the side view but neither do I.
