Murphy, groomed

The younger member of our Snore of Spaniels after being groomed last week.

Unfortunately, the haircut was a little too short. Murphy ended up gnawing at his tail and belly because he was irritated. And because dogs are dogs, the more he licked the worse he got. One vet trip and $183 dollars later, he’s on 3 different prescription steroids to counter the inflammation and doing MUCH better.

The groomer did nothing wrong, we just found out that Murph has a sensitive nether area. Lesson learned. Next time we’ll leave the hair longer down below.

    Aww, that’s such a bummer about having issues after the grooming. Murphy is such a sweet looking pup 🙂

      Aw, thank you! He’s doing much better now. Next time we’ll get him the oatmeal shampoo and fuzzier … parts. 🙂

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
