Tuuli on the table

In the general clear-up after the puppies left, the grooming table was leaving the house en route to its regular home in the garage.  Before it departed, I quickly set it up and popped Tuuli up there for her first proper brushing.  She has had occasional gentle introductions to the brush while dozing on the sofa, but had never yet been on the table or had an all-over brush and combing.  Her fur is starting to grow now, and it's about 1.5-2 inches long all over, so brushing her is not exactly onerous yet.

As you can see, she was perfectly content up on the table with no sign of nerves at all.  In fact, I would go so far as to say she actually enjoyed it.  When the time came to do her belly, she was most accommodating, which is more than can be said for the other dogs in this house normally.

When she was finished I noticed Neka queuing up for her turn.  Before I had the opportunity to lift her onto the table, though, Keksiyo quickly hopped up via the sofa.  Dogs love the pampering and one-on-one time that goes with grooming and squabble over who gets to go first.

As you can see, Keksiyo is looking pretty raggedy at the moment, as he's coming to the end of a major moult.  He needed serious grooming, so after quickly grabbing this snap, we moved the table outdoors so that I could brush an entire dog-sized pile of fur out of him.  It doesn't seem possible, but today I could easily brush that much out again.
