Very thoughtful of him to provide his own soft furnishings too. 🤦‍♀️🐾

33 minutes of drying Ned condensed into 55 seconds of me discovering just how many positions it’s possible to groom a Rough Collie from. 😂
Ned and I have our own little system. He moves, I follow. He gets off the table, I keep working with him on the floor, and when he’s ready, he gets himself back up on the table again.
There’s no wrestling him back into position and no point making a big deal out of it. We just keep moving, keep drying, and eventually we get the job done. ❤️
It may look completely ridiculous from my end… because, quite frankly, it is. 😂 But it works for Ned, and that’s what matters.
⚠️ No Rough Collies were harmed in the making of this reel. The groomer’s dignity, however, is long gone. 🤦‍♀️😂

Our littlest Dog Tales troublemaker is officially ONE today! 🥳💙🎂
It’s hard to believe that little Squid arrived in Cairns at just four months old and somehow turned into the confident, clever, hilarious and ever-so-slightly unhinged Sam Sam we know and love. 😂
He’s spent the last eight months making friends, having adventures, learning new things, causing absolute bloody chaos and proving over and over again that being deaf doesn’t stop him doing a damn thing. 💙🐾

Happy 1st Birthday, Sam! 🥳

Life certainly hasn’t been boring since you arrived, little mate — and we wouldn’t have you any other way. 💙

Diesel would like it formally noted that bath time was NOT his idea. 😂
After exhausting all available escape routes, he eventually decided his best option was apparently straight through the groomer.
Never change, Mr Diesel. 🤦‍♀️😂

Two Border Collies. Two VERY different approaches to grooming. 😂🐾
Dottie prefers the aerial approach — why keep four paws on the table when you can swing from the rafters? 🎪😂
Della, on the other hand, has discovered a far more energy-efficient technique…
Della chose pancake. 🥞
Same breed. Completely different strategies. Both absolute sweethearts. ❤️

Usually when Jasper & Pepper come to visit, Pepper is the one suffering from a severe case of FOMO and making absolutely everything about Pepper. 😂
Jasper? He’s normally the chilled one.
Apparently on Friday he decided he’d been overlooked for long enough. 😳🐾
The attitude. The side-eye. The PAWS.
My normally sweet, sensible Jasper woke up and chose violence. 😂
Meanwhile, look at that big happy innocent face at the end like he hadn’t just spent the entire groom throwing paws at me.

🎶 Hit Me With Your Best Shot could not have been more appropriate. 😂

When your paws are almost as impressive as the rest of you. 😂🐾
Chewie and his absolutely magnificent Newfoundland feet. 🖤

Meet Miss Queenie… aka the velociraptor. 🦖😂
That is genuinely how her mum describes opening the front gate — “release the velociraptor!” — and after spending some time with her, I can confirm this is extremely accurate. 😂
She's only about 15 months old and is an absolute tornado of Bull Terrier chaos. I thought Simba trying to become a parrot was bad… Queenie apparently decided she wanted to become my scarf while I was just trying to get a nice selfie to send to my kids. 😂❤️
But this crazy little girl brought back some beautiful memories too. She reminds me SO much of Harley, the brindle and white Bull Terrier who was part of my family many years ago. Harley was only six months old when she came into my life, and she was another hose-chasing, larger-than-life little menace. ❤️
There was just something about Queenie's craziness today that took me straight back to Harley. 🥹
Safe to say Miss Queenie has well and truly won me over. ❤️🦖

🕵️‍♀️ THE CASE OF DAJA’S MYSTERY STINK 🐾

Apparently being a dog groomer isn’t enough… I’m now a private investigator too. 😂

Daja’s hooman has been telling me for months that this gorgeous little floof has a very distinctive mystery smell — and until today, I could never bloody smell it!

Today I FINALLY found it. 👃 A strange smell strongest around her neck, chest and shoulders… but underneath all that floof, her skin actually looks pretty damn good.
So Daja had the full treatment, including a 10-minute Malaseb marinade, a thorough rinse and dry, and then it was time for another sniff test. 🧐

Then we discovered SUSPECT #1 — THE HARNESS.
And holy hell, it STINKS. 😂
Case solved?

NOPE.

Plot twist: Daja barely wears the bloody thing. 👀 In fact, with her smell apparently transferring onto bedding, furniture, collars and everything else she lies on, there’s every chance Daja made the harness stink, not the other way around.

So we’re starting fresh. Clean Daja. Clean collar. Clean bedding. Clean harness.
Now her hooman has an important job: SNIFF THE DOG. 😂 Every couple of days we’ll be checking whether the mystery stink returns, when it returns and where it appears first.

No jumping to conclusions. No diagnoses. Just one groomer, one suspiciously innocent-looking floof and a mystery that WILL be investigated. 🕵️‍♀️😂

CASE NOT CLOSED.

Part 2 pending… 👀
