The dogs are going to the groomer today. Thank God, because they smell like Limburger cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The smell of unwashed Pekingese.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Gigi always gets the same ‘do, which suits her perfectly straight hair and minimizes her large (for a Peke) schnozz.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gigi, the Barbra Streisand of Pekes*<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

But I’m not sure what to do with Henry. When he’s got long hair, his natural Henry VIII-like<\/a> red color shows nicely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Off with your head!”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

When he has short hair, he looks blonder but very cute, like a teddy bear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not very regal<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Any thoughts?<\/p>\n

*We have determined she is mostly Tibetan spaniel, but we let her keep passing for a Peke. I can’t bring myself to tell her about her heritage when I haven’t even told her she’s adopted!<\/p>\n

<\/span>UPDATED TO ADD: It is quite chilly out today so I decided that this was not the right time for Henry to shed his winter coat. He just got a bath and a trim instead of a buzz cut. In case he gets invited to any special events, I picked out some “black tie” ear ornaments for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Henry, post-grooming<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Why do I do these things<\/a> to him? Because I can.<\/p>\n

Gigi went Balenciaga-floral for spring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gigi’s ear ribbons<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n


Someone once described Henry as “the brown dog.” Ooh! I was so angry! Henry is clearly Tudor red and if you say otherwise, I will have you sent to the Tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: GeorgeB is sending me photos of Molly, my parents’ rescued Peke. Here she is wearing a wizard’s hat.<\/p>\n
