Spa Session

April 19, 2009 -- Today is THE day for Lucas.  For the first time in 3 years, he is going to a spa.  Well, it's the usual wash and brush, ear cleaning, nail cutting, teeth brushing thing -- the usual for most dogs at least, but not for Lucas.  One thing you should know about labrador retrievers is that it is recommended to give them a bath only twice a year. Their coat produces natural oils which frequent bathing will wash away, reducing the waterproofing and shine of their coat. We're making an exception this time, it's time to give Lucas a day he will remember.

I took him to the dog spa at around 9:00 in the morning.  I left knowing he'll be in good hands and will be coming back for him once i get a text that he's done.  So during the wait, i had a short photo session with the beagles, Chuck and Beka.

Okay, who has the longer tongue!?

At around 2:00 in the afternoon, i pickup up Lucas and brought him back home.  I couldn't believe the shine his coat had after the spa. They somehow brushed off all his loose hair (which we couldn't) which is all good.  Ofcourse, vintage Lucas, once he was off and running in the yard, the first thing he did was -- mark.

And to top off Lucas Day, we gave him a nice pool to cool down in and get himself wet.  He loves it.

I wonder when the next Spa Session will be?
