Merry Christmas to all!!! It's been a treat to see everyone posting Christmas photos of their dogs.

We've had a nice Christmas today. Chloe let me snuggle her in my arms this morning which was the best Christmas present ever. I hated to get out of bed, lol. Chloe made out like a bandit come present time. She got a bolster that goes on the couch, two collars, some paw butter, a keychain for her baby bag, four things of treats, two chewies, two coats, a tag that says "Yep, I ate Santa's cookies", a pair of pajamas that say "Santa's Little Yelper" , a new puzzle toy and a toy dog that sings and dances. She wasn't impressed with the toy dog, but I thought it was adorable, it wiggles it's butt just like she does! I also made a donation in her honor of a puzzle toy to Best Friends.

The thing she liked best is the bully balloon she got. She likes it plain but in the future if I got more it had a hole I could've stuffed something in it, which is an added bonus. She was a good sport about playing dress up but after awhile she'd had enough of Christmas, took her chewy and went back to my room to relax. It was surprising as she doesn't like to be away from me. I think all the excitement wore her out. It was a fun day though, I love seeing her root through her stocking looking for her chewies and treats.

Here's Chloe pictures with Santa from this year...

need some help. What type of brush do I need for Killian to brush him? couldn't really get a direct answer from google...

i would look into good terrier or poodle brush, good slicker brush, 2good steel comb

but dont just brush once over...
you first need to use the steel comb (carefully with all brushes and combs, try them first on your arm or head, so you knw how they work and can hurt when pushing to much...^^), then a hard slicker brush, a normal bristle brush (mabe boar or mix) and to finish it of use a slicker brush with long or even short pin to fluff up the fur
and when you want to make it easy to groom you can use silky coating spray for terrier

found this today while looking for new brush, dont know this brush, but it could work with a small dog
(Eco Friendly Bamboo Best Slicker Brush Professional Deshedding Grooming Tool For Long and Short Hair Pets Dogs and Cats by AtEase Accents
Chris Christensen Oval Pin Brush, 27mm
Mars Professional Advanced Maxipin Dog Brush, Solid Wood Handle and Stainless Steel Pins - amzon)

but you can also find some nice brushes and other things in a good groomer shop or Terrier groomer shop, we got most of our in such shop


the bether would be whe you look for a good groomer for Terrier or poodle or such, they can Show and teach you how to groom his fur, how to wash him and with what shampoo and conditioner.

ot sure if this did help, when questions ,just ask^^
Is he a trimm dog or cut ?

^ Aw, do you have a picture of her in it?

does anyone have second-hand or first-hand experience with the raw dog food poppy's picnic? it has 5 stars on all the sites ive been on. my dog's become incredibly fussy and quickly dislikes all of her food (nutriment, nature's instinct and more) except junk (royal canin, pedigree). a few have noted their fussy dogs have taken to it so putting a bit of hope into it, just wondered if anyone on here has heard about it it.

Took my lamp to the vet for her post-op checkup. It was insanely busy, so I had her sit on my lap and eventually took her to wait outside. We were there for an hour just for a guy to tell us "yep, looks good", lol. He said the cone can come off in 3 days.

Had a bunch of people say "aww, she just wants to be friendly". No, she's not growling out of friendliness, she's growling because your dog is running all over the place and she hates dogs. This is why I have to muzzle her. I have such a hatred for retractable leashes. She was laying under my chair, but dogs kept trying to get to her so on the lap she went. Also had someone try to tell me she's a "rednose" like it's a breed lol.

Merry Christmas from this dork! She’s getting a bit spoiled, just waiting for everything to arrive. I got her and Chewie a gift basket with toys and a bandana and some treats which they have enjoyed. Kes also got a lotus ball which she’s excited for!

Then sometime this week ‘my’ gift from my friend will arrive. Kes is getting a new prong collar, and some rabbit treats. Then her and Chew will share two stuffless toys!

Kes will also probably be getting a fancy collar, because she’s spoiled. Thinking a nice white and purple biothane martingale to match her leash.

@maninkari - Glad your lamp is doing better

@.Middy. - Kes looks adorable.
