I took Paddington to the groomer today for his first trim. He's been there before to get his nails cut and baths, but his hair is looking so scraggly lately it needed to be trimmed up a bit. I went to pick him up, and the groomer asked me if anyone had told me about the puppy classes they offer (this is at Petsmart) I said yes, he's halfway done with the puppy classes, why? and she said he is BAD! She didn't use that word, but it is what she meant (and wanted to say, I'm sure) She showed me her arm and it was all scratched up from him.

I've noticed his misbehavior lately too; about the past week and a half he's gotten SO bad! His temperment has changed so much, and everyone keeps telling me how bad his is. He is doing really well with obedience training during our sessions (both in class and when we train at home) He knows so many tricks already, and he's gotten to the point where he sits and waits for me to tell him it's okay to get the ball or the treat or his food bowl... He's just a brat!

Anyway, here are pictures of my brat dog (instead of rat dog lol) when we got home from the groomer. She was actually able to do a topknot (a small one) and it stayed in long enough for me to get pictures! When I put them in he shakes them out instantly. The bow is crooked in all the pictures but the one, because he is a rebel and knocks it sideways every time I straighten it. The last one is a picture of the shirt I got him for the patriotic gala and fireworks this week.
