The Leuradales visit a new groomer

G'day blogging maties,
Today the girls and I went to our new groomer. Yes D was quite ambitious to think she could groom us herself and though she did an "ok" job, we didn't come out looking this good. I mean look at me. How handsome am I????


Oh and the girls look pretty good too. Tess' paws are glowing they're so clean.

As some of you know, D and I went to a rally last Saturday to protest about a developer wanting to cage Koala's indoors to attract tourists. Well the local paper came out to photograph us and guess what.......he bloody well left me out of the photo, silly twit! If you squint you can just about see the very top of my head. You can see D standing in the middle with her hood over her head.
D: it was misty and cold - bad hair weather!!!
Anyway, we plan to attend a meeting next Tuesday night about this so we'll have more info then.
In the mean time we've had lots of people and doggies sign our petition so we'd like to thank you for your support. It's been wonderful.

ps. I just want to say again, the signing of the petition does not involve any money being collected so if it directs to paypal please ignore that step. All we're after are signatures. The petition still records your signature even if you don't donate.
Now we feel that the petition site has been a bit sneaky by asking for donations and we feel really bad and embarrassed by this so if you have given some money what we plan to do is this:
We are going to donate a sum of money to Monica's Dog Rescue in Sydney which does great work to help re home dogs. She runs this with the help of volunteers. It's a no kill shelter and they do re home all dogs eventually.
We do thank everyone for adding their names to the petition. We were just naive about the whole thing.
Thanks again.

Hi, everyone -

You look pawsome with your new haircuts! Mama just signed the petition for the koalas and it did ask for a donation but she ignored that step. She cannot understand the stupidity of some humans.

Love -

Hershey and Kaci

Ruby said...

Well, we thought D did a pretty good job - but what a lot of work to do the four of you guys! The new groomer looks like they know what they're doing as you all look great!

I'm getting decidely wooly now that winter is here - no grooming for me.

cheers,
Ruby

Unknown said...

We signed the petition too!

And guess who else got a new summer hairdo? I'm all stripped down and sleek for the warm weather ahead. I think I look just as fuzzy and cuddly as the four of you, but what to do about that shampoo stink???

Your pal,

Petey

Molly and Gertrude said...

Hi guys,

love your airecuts - D should have just said she did them and we'd have believed her! Wow, Noah and D are famous! You are doing such good work there by petitioning AND setting up the online petition too - we have signed, well, through our mummy anyway. Just hope it works.....

Love Molly and Gertie

Fabulous hairdos. My mom thinks she can groom okay too. Not.

Great work protesting for this cause. I'll definitely sign the petition.

Not only are you civic minded, but handsome also. What a guy.

Southbaygirl said...

Mommy and i signed the petition! And mom ignored the paypal portion-she double checked to make sure our names were on it!! We think it's horrible what they want to do with the koalas!!!!

Woof

Sherry said...

Isn't it amazing how we can transform ourselves from total fuzz-heads to handsome and dignified dogs with the help of a human-handled clipper? How disappointing that you weren't in the photo. I mean, why else take a photo?

Dewey Dewster said...

Gee mates....

It's a real job groomin' the group of ya and we don't know how D coulda done it all. Why Gram 'n Pap have a time of it keepin' us 3 in shape and half the time we aren't in shape.

We signed yer petition....what a splendid idea....hope that it helps.....maybe next time the photographer will realize what a super idea it would be ta put yer picture on the front page of the paper.....doggies all over the world would be droolin'.....

Finni said...

Looking sharp, matey! The new groomers know what they're doing. The girls look great too!
Our Mum keeps meaning to do us herself and has booked herself in for an afternoon lesson in July - yeah, yeah ... we'll see...
We signed the partition - we agree Koalas should be free! and not some tourist toy!

My Jeannie says she remembers your Ma's headgear from when she visited!!!!!!!!

Youse all look so handsome with your new haircuts. The groomer did a wonderful job!

It is taking me some time to catch up with all the news, as I have been incarcerated. It didn't hurt but I am none to happy about it, so I feel for those Koalas you are trying to help.

lotsalicks, Marvin xxxx oh and Jeannie xxxxxxxxxx

Kasha said...

How did you get them to sit there so sweetly? Africa and I were wondering if you noticed her become friends at the park with an Airedale? You guys are so cool!

JD and Max said...

Hi everyone! You all look gorgeous, we love that Tess's paws are glowing, he he, adorable! We signed the petition, thanks for sharing that information. Puppy snuggles - JD and Max.

Stella said...

Sweet Noah & Sissies 3!

Stanley & I are catching up on everything you've been doing and we are SO PROUD OF YOU and your mama for going to that rally (I saw your cute punkin head in the photo in the newspaper)! We'll go sign that petition pronto!

All the sissies look FABULOUS with their new airecuts (you too, Noah). I had no idea Tess' paws had THAT much white on them.

The vid of Tess & Lucy should be entitled "Sissy Wrasslers of Leura" don't you think? They are FIERCE, and I think I want to get in on the action myself. Maybe someday...

Please tell Willow we are sending her happy happy birthday smooches for her! We are SO STINKIN' HAPPY she was born and that she is our fren! She was definitely a cutie pie as a pup, but it's no wonder since she's gorgeous now (and seems to always have a little twinkle in her eye)!

Keep us posted on how the koala petition goes!

Goobery love & kissies,
Stella Bean Latifah

Eric said...

What dazzling doggies you all look! I feel for D ,my furs goes all wirly curly in the rain too!!

Wiry loves and Kisses, Eric xx

Pp S. I signed you petition before and Mom ignored the paypal bit!

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

We will sign.. That is just not right..
Oh you all look so wonderful.. Mom was a bit upset about the Koala's so she forgot to tell you.. Looking awesome..

Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie

Lucia said...

Ciao cari Leuradale amici!

You ... look ... fantastico! Well, of course, you all have always been a great-looking famiglia, but grooming shows off your terrier features so beautifully!

I, Lucia, am off to see my groomer on Tuesday -- yayyyyy! Bubble bath time!!

Tanti baci!
Lucia

Dughallmor Beagles said...

Noah, that's not very nice of the guy to leave you out of the photo after all your hard efforts. I'd bite his bum if I were you!

Allison Walton said...

We're a little slow, but we signed the petition today. How sad that we have to do this, and people don't just realize on their own that what they're doing is wrong.

Wuv,
Gus and Waldo

Joe Stains said...

You guys are working for a very good cause! I sure wish that they would not have cut you out of the photo, especially looking so handsome after being groomed so well!

Inky and Molly said...

How dare they leave you out of the photo? Don't they know that you are famous??

Good on ya for rallying for a good cause.

What happened to the Koalas? Is it too late to sign the petition?

erin said...

Good job protesting! Koalas are cute. I'd like to meet one in the fur someday... but in the wild, not in a cage.
Woof,
Keeley
PS that photographer must have been really dumb to leave you out of the photo. I mean how many other dogs show up at rallies?

Lenny said...

Your new Haire-cuts all look great!
I guess they are old by now! I haven't been around in awhile. But I'm sure you still look great! :)

Your friend, Lenny
