So proud of my Husband and Jake!

[jenn D]

My husband  isn't on DK but I am so proud of him and I wanted to share. This weekend we groomed all 3 dogs! And the coolest part was he did Jake almost entirely by himself! I am so proud of him. I really enjoy seeing their bond growing. After I washed and dried/groomed Brisby and Pickles, we started on Jake and he brushed him, washed him, dried him and clipped his body and 1/2 way down his legs. He was nervous about the face, tail area and feet so I chose to call it a day and teach him the rest next weekend. 

And the coolest thing-of our three doods, Jake was the best, calmest, and confident on the table! The process with all 2 took a decent part of the weekend's morning and afternoon and the kids did a great job of quietly playing by themselves or giving us tools when we needed them. Great family effort. And afterward, hubby was so proud of Jake's clip, we took him to Lowes with us to get gardening supplies.

I can't tell you all how happy I am that my husband is bonding with Jake. He always wanted "a dog" of his own and was afraid is wasn't a dog person. I'm attaching a picture of Jake post groom and one of the gang. My husband is not big on being in pictures so I was unable to get one with him and Jake. Thanks for listening to the journey of Jake. Moments like this make it worth it. Especially when I was really only planning on Brisby and Pickles.

And thanks for letting me gush about hubby. :)

Terrific. It's great to know that Jake has your DH as a great friend and groomer too. :)

[Pat and Traveler]

Cute pics, and sure looks like the two of you are a pair of grooming greats!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I love this story! The doodles all look great!

I think your DH is definitely a dog person! :) 

[Lonnie & Libby Lu]

Wow, what a great story Jenn!  Jake looks beautiful and your husband rocks in the grooming dept.  All three are so adorable and what a great family week end!  I would be proud too and thanks for sharing!  That picture of the "gang" is precious!  Love it!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Wow, your grooming team at home is awesome! The doodles look terrific and I love how well Jake is doing, what a wonderful life he has!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Love that your DH is bonding with Jake. The whole gang looks great!  You guys are good!

[Julie, Eloise & Beasley]

Your doodles are SO cute, and what a great grooming story!  I love the two head-tilts, and Jake is just a perfect "after" model!  Really impressed with the grooming on all three!!

[BG and Gavin]

Great pic of your pack.  Jake looks great.  Good for DH!

[Stephanie and Ragley]

So wonderful! I know the feeling of happiness that comes with seeing a loved one bond with the dog! Ragley is my boyfriend's first experience with raising a dog (they have a yorkie that is more like a cat so we don't count him haha)- he loves dogs, but has never been involved in the care and upkeep. He visited last week and I taught him how to line brush Ragley and he gained so much confidence and I think it really helped their bond. I am so glad your husband was able to meet such a milestone! Home grooming seems tough- I'm totally impressed with his results! Gush away!

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Awesome!  My DH loves Quincy-but grooming? not going to happen!  I have to settle for him playing endless tug/throw with him!  oh and then there's the part about Quincy always waking him if he has a middle of the night emergency potty call!
