How Much Is Too Much to Groom this Doodle?

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I take Fudge and Vern to the groomers about every 6 weeks. It takes Vern (aka Pigpen) approximately 10 minutes to un-groom himself. Does anyone else have this problem?

Here is Vern after a trip to the groomer looking all white and fluffy.

Ok,  here he is about 5 minutes after we get home.

Now he is getting warmed up.

Still Rolling

And later in the week, it often looks like this

All I can say is, that is one really cute doodle!!!!
Jack looks like an unmade bed an hour after a grooming. Combing, brushing, and raking usually restores some semblance of neatness, lol.

Jack and Vern must be lost lost brothers. I do think Vern looks a little like Jack. Both have those cute noses.

Dirty or not...he's as handsome as they get.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Jane and Caitlin, Thank you!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Vern and Clancy are brothers...... Need I say more? I can say that they feel so nice for that 5 minutes......

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

When do you want me to bring Vern over to spend some time with his "brother"?

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Oh since we got Ned and Clancy groomed yesterday - today would be great timing! Vern and Clancy could de-groom themselves together.

Vern is completely adorable! With and without the leaves.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you! Vern is going to get a big (dirty) head if I read him all these posts.

Fudge stays out of trouble because she hides the dirt. She is just as dirty but Vern gets caught more.

We have a doodle couch which we place a large white cover over so it can be removed, washed and bleached. For the most part Starlit claims the doodle couch solely for her own. She always looks clean, groomed, and much neater than dirty white Spud. But if you take a look at the white couch cover, she is filthy!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

My dream this year was to get all my furniture recovered/slipcovered in some white or off white fabric. That was before Vern. I now keep a cover on my couch too and it is in the wash all the time. I guess it is just easier to tell myself Fudge is clean :) I will say she never has stuff hanging off of her....Vern could carry his lunch and you couldn't tell. But, he has a great time everyday and always looks happy.

I now keep my couches covered with quilts = lovely look for a formal living room - about as nice as the wastebaskets on tables....
