{Wren and I with Rosy while on vacation. You can see how long she used to be}
I was really hesitant about taking her to the groomer because she does NOT do well with people she doesn't know poking, prodding and clipping her. Well, apparently our new groomer is a magician because not only was he able to to cut all of Rosy's hair, he was also able to clip her nails which is a huge feat!!
{She doesn't look too happy because I just woke her from a nap to take this picture.}
At first I was a little startled at HOW short her hair was cut but it has definitely grown on me! Now, as her hair grows out, it will be soooo much easier to maintain... if only we could get her to stop licking! We also realized just how much weight she's gained in the last little while so it looks like it's diet time for the pooch. The only down side to this trimmed new look is that every time she needs to go outside to use the restroom, she now has to wear a jacket. Oh well, it's a small price to pay for such a high fashion look. LOL
Cheers,

As a Mom to two Scottish Terriers (known for their skin problems) I beg you to switch Rosy to a raw diet. There are many yahoo groups dedicated to this natural way to feed your carnivor. My dogs have no (no) skin problems, no fleas and they are outside as often as I can open the door (we live in the deep south), awesome teeth that will never need to be scaled. Please don't use flea control products, they are absorbed into the skin and they are poison, really. Check RawK9's, they have breeders on who are very willing to hold your hand through the process (which is suprisingly easy)and will answer any question. No vet visits, no vacines (no they do not need rabies vacines (does your dog run loose and wild through the neighborhood?) she doesn't need a rabies vacine. Expect your vet to give you a hard time, better yet don't bother mentioning it. Basically, vets are not taught how to feed a carnivor, they are taught what the commercial producers of dog food want them to know, buy our garbage food so week can make millions, or the pharmacutical companies who want to sell unnecessary drugs or worse use your pet as a testing ground for new drug, yikes. Did you know that dogs fed commercial dog food have an average life span of 8-12 years. However, dogs should have a lifespan of 20-27 years. Do your research, check out how dogs were fed prior to 1920's. Also look for the documentation on the three D's that your dog food is made of, then ask yourself how you are feeling about what you are feeding.
OK, blowing long and hard about this topic, I really like this additional blog you have here, best of luck with Rosy.
