THERE’S A TIME WHEN ALL GIRLS NEED THE HAIRDRESSERS

How to groom a Goldendoodle…

Or more’s the point when should you or even should you…

As the summer arrived little Millie was hidden behind a floppy – albeit trendy – fringe…

There were times she was mistaken for an industrial mop such was the shagginess…

We tried the hair bun but it would never stay in…

We even tried the David Beckham Goldendoodle hair band…

I’M NOT GOING OUT WITH THAT THING ON I LOOK STUPID

But as the days got hotter she became more and more uncomfortable…

Seeking refuge in any shade in the garden…

A GOLDENDOODLE IN THE BUSH IS WORTH ONE IN THE HAND

And so we called the dog groomer…

“Ummmm…” she said…

“Never done a Goldendoodle before – make sure she’s tangle free else I shall have to shave her…”

We all shuddered – we love Millie’s mad crazy Goldendoodle curls and fluff…

Now tangle free sounds fair enough – however Millie had tangles on tangles inside an enigma of tangles…

And so I popped her in the shower with me and conditioned to my hearts content…

As there was a glimmer of sunshine – and she hates hairdryers – I let nature take its course…

WAKE ME WHEN YOU’VE FINISHED MY BLOW DRY AND SET MUM

She’s so big now the only way to comb and brush her through is literally on my lap…

As you can see she’s pretty good with the whole thing…

Mostly…

We even managed to snip a bit off her fringe – and boy did she need it!!!

A BIT OFF THE FRONT AND LEAVE THE BACK PLEASE BARBER

The day of the grooming arrived…

Millie apparently took it all in her stride whilst I waited outside a nervous wreck…

I prayed I had got every single knot and tangle out…

I really didn’t want a bald Goldendoodle!!!

And so it was with some relief I saw her…

Nails clipped – jacuzzi – bubble bath and 2 inch clip all over…

“She needs a firm hand with a hair dyer…” barked the groomer ” don’t take any nonsense…”

I smiled and thanked her…

I’ll show you the photos next time…

Until then…

Let’s just say I wonder which bowl the groomer used to cut around her fringe!!!
