Tizenegy was off to Spa Steve for the all-inclusive deluxe grooming package. He was well behaved in the tub as Steve lathered, rinsed, conditioned and did a bit of detangling. Then he was carried in and placed on the pile of towels on the bed. He laid on his side and I wrapped my arm around him speaking soothingly.
He did not struggle to get up and was very patient as Steve cleaned his ears and trimmed his nails. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was silently chanting to himself, "treats are coming; treats are coming when Steve took the shaver to his owl feet and cut away some tight little mats. "You have uncooperative hair, Bud," I told him. "Now it will be much easier to softly brush the rest when you are dry.."
And before he knew it, the Spa session was ended, the muzzle removed, and treats rained down.
