What an exciting week 22 was for Aidan. Weighing in at 27.8 lbs and that is minus some hair. This week we took Aidan to the Second Tub, a local dog spa in Mississauga, ON. What a great group of people there. Firstly our groomer Nadia understood what a wheaten cut should be and because he is still a puppy without a lot of hair, she understood the importance of starting to shape his cut now. She also understood that he was still in training and continued to re-enforce his sits and stays. They protected his ears with cotton balls and put drops in his eyes so that the shampoo and cologne wouldn't hurt him. He was bathed in oatmeal to protect his puppy skin in a hydro massage bath, his ears where clipped inside and out and his hair was clipped and shaved the way it should be. His nails were clipped and hair around his pads was trimmed and he was sprayed with a nice smelling cologne. He looked and smelled great when I picked him up. He was given an A+ on his report, seems he was a very good dog, the only issue Nadia had with him was that he got a little randy a few times. (boys will be boys)
Here is the before picture.
And the after, notice the fall over his eyes and the white on his chest
We were really surprised at how white (wheaten) his hair was under all that long hair, his head is so soft, it feels like a cotton ball. No wonder they are called Soft Coated Irish Wheaten Terriers!
Even the sun has problems with that bright white head now. Eventually his whole body will turn that colour except for his beard which should remain black. Here you can see just how tall is getting as well. He's going to be a big boy!
Special thanks to the staff at Second Tub, they truly love what they do and it shows!
