Bored....

What do you do when you are sitting around at the end of the day waiting for the last dog to be picked up?

Everything is cleaned up, and  you are ready to walk out the door....as soon as the last customer decides to pick up their dog.

I decided to try something that I had seen done on another dog.

It involved an old curling iron that was collecting dust at home, and my toy poodle.

As you can see, my girls ears really long.

I have thought about shortening them every time I groom her, but I can't seem to bring myself to cut them.

So while I was waiting for that last customer of the day to pick up their dog, I plugged in the curling iron.

I took small sections of hair on her ears, and started curling it.

I made sure that the hot iron did not come close to her ear leather.

Wha-la.

Curls!

She looks less than thrilled doesn't she?

 "Really Mom!?" 

"Take the darn picture and brush these darn curls out of my ears."

"I already get teased enough for being a fro-fro dog."

"That's better...back to normal."

Imagine offering this service for all of those Bichon owners who like those long stringy ears on their dogs.  :)
