The pups enjoyed a complimentary day-spa over the weekend! |
|
I received an email from Krista last week and she offered to treat my pups and fosters to a day-spa --
-- we couldn't resist that, so we loaded up and headed to her shop!
|
The bus, mind you, is a 1986 Chevy van, purchased from the US Army --
-- since then, it's been retrofitted with crates, so each pup can get her own window-seat!
|
|
|
Next, we arrive at Krista's place -- |
-- and the pups are ready to come off, one by one -- |
|
|
-- first, we meet Christa and her husband, Matt --
-- my Precious is on deck for a washing --
|
-- and before we know it, she's whisked up by Matt in to the tub! |
|
|
She's tethered, and happy as a clam -- |
-- and when Krista washes her, she's almost gleeful with the bath -- |
|
Here, you can see Preccie's coat -- a red merle, along with her blue eye -- such traits, of blue eyes, often go hand in hand with merle coats.
|
|
|
Next, is our dear Victor --
-- he says, "I'm not dirty, I'm not dirty" --
-- well, a bath is still in order, big boy!
|
During the bathing, he's still full of the "look" -- !! |
|
|
-- and then he shows is he's done -- !!
More on Victor can be found here -- he is available for adoption!
|
Next, we take a break to meet up with Krista's first cat, who was abandoned, and who Krista nursed back to total health -- GREAT WORK! |
|
|
Spud comes for a quick dip -- |
-- and quickly thereafter, Daisy get her a bath -- !! |
|
|
I love this picture -- I really do --
Daisy is a real sweetheart of a girl --
-- from all her prior abuse and mistreatment, meeting this girl you would never know she had seen darker days.
More on Daisy can be found here.
|
Here's our Daisy, cool as a cucumber as Krista clips her nails --
-- dark nails like Daisy's prove really difficult to clip, since you can't see the fleshy-quick through her dark nails --
-- always be extra careful when clipping dark nails!
|
|
|
Next, Daisy is loaded and another is unloaded...
... all as momma Precious oversees the activity -- !!
|
-- and the next out the chute is Thor --
-- Thor has made no effort to hide his disdain for the spa-day -- !!
|
|
|
Here, he's thinking,
"If I just IMAGINE myself out of here, maybe I'll be in greener pastures when I open my eyes -- !!"
More on Thor can be found here.
|
Here is Krista's Xena, who broke out of her crate while the baths were going on --
-- now, she's a spectator of the spectacle!
|
|
|
Finally, little Elvis gets his turn -- |
-- and while Elvis is very cute and sweet looking, he is a pit bull, and he shows the temperament of a pit bull, which the breed typically grows in to between one and two years.
More on the pit bull temperament can be found here.
|
|
|
Finally, Elvis is rinsed off and we're all done -- !! |
Before we leave, we say good-bye to Krista's second cat, who was used as a breeder-cat for 15 years before rescue -- :(
She's a senior Himalayan cat, and is enjoying her autumn years watching the world go by at Krista's canine spa -- !!
THANK YOU, to kind people like Krista and Matt for donating your services to SPBR -- we are all happier because of your kindness!
