I didn't think about the Harry Potter books, but you are right. The movies really do follow the books pretty well.<br /><br />So glad you and your hubby had such a great vacation. I feel the same way about my hubby...anywhere I am with him, I am happy.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-79547473422290664902014-10-09T15:24:26.813-04:002014-10-09T15:24:26.813-04:00I love the looks of long haired dogs and grooming ...I love the looks of long haired dogs and grooming them has always been a pleasure (not a chore) for me. That said, as good as I've gotten, nothing beats the results a good professional dog stylist can create.<br /><br />Luckily, I don't have to shave Remy's face, but since he's too fearful to leave with a groomer, I've had to learn how to bathe and condition his coat. The combing out I got down pat from years of brushing my Eskie. But I never had to bathe her - that I left to the pros.<br /><br />With Remy, since I'm on my own grooming him, I've also had to learn how to trim the hair on his feet and in between his pads. <br /><br />Don't want to use an electric clipper so I use very blunt tipped scissors and go very, very slowly. After years of snipping off a tiny bit at a time, Remy now tolerates my foot trimming. His feet look better and better the more experienced I get, and the more comfortable Remy becomes with this routine.<br /><br />As for his nails, I leave that up to the vet's office who do a great (and fast) job of that every six weeks or so. I know my limits, and I don't want to push Remy further than I have to. <br /><br />Long haired dogs are definitely higher maintenance, but boy, are they pretty when they're kept well. Your sweet little August is a great breed example of Powder Puff Chinese Cresteds and you do your own high maintenance boy proud!Anuhttp://www.morebarkforyourbuck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-70963563566494291802014-10-08T19:49:41.006-04:002014-10-08T19:49:41.006-04:00People do not follow the rules anymore driving.

He trims her toes and 'beard' and she has 'feathers' so must be brushed regularly too. We mostly leave her back to the groomer.
