Summer Groom

I admit—I like a fluffy cocker. I do not have the patience for a full skirt with feathers (too much brushing  for me, and not enough exploring outside for the dog!), but I do like the soft look and feel of slightly longer hair. They look so cocker-y to me that way!

However, a fluffy cocker is just not practical for the summer, especially in the Washington heat, so I knew that Macy needed a groom. I could not keep her fluffy just because I like her that way!

I made an appointment with a groomer known for their work with spaniels, and I was such a nervous Nellie when I dropped her off! Thankfully, all went well. She was great on the table, which just confirms her lovely personality.

I have noticed three main benefits to her summer groom:

1. Most importantly, she loves it. 
She obviously feels so cool. Prancing, dancing, playing in the yard, she is having so much fun!

Macy the Explorer.

2. The groom shows off her lovely figure. 
Macy is actually quite a little girl. She has a great shape and wonderful proportions. Her summer cut shows off her 24 pounds perfectly.

Thanks for the cookie!

3. She is very snuggly.
Selfishly, I love this benefit! She wants to snuggle and spoon as much as we will let her.

Yes, Macy, I will snuggle with you!

All in all, she is more adorable than ever. To a happy summer!
