Nat: Fur-style / New bowl

new fur-style on Patches again..

*********************************

My order from Doggyfriend.com came last night.. Finally gotten to replace Zen's old water bowl to a Yogi water bowl. She had been using a Drink Better Bowl for close to 2 years. Initially had wanted to tried to Yogi water bowl but was told that the Drink Better Bowl is made of heavier plastic, thus chances of flipping it over is low. Zen used to be confined in a 3ft x 3ft pen whenever we are out of the house, and she likes to play with her water bowl and made a point to flip it upside down.. Now that she gets free access to the whole house, she doesn't play with the water bowls anymore.

Both bowls worked the same way; each have a 'floater' on the surface to prevent wetting of the dog's beard when drinking water from it. And I recently found out that the Drink Better Bowl starts to emit a funny smell from its plastic surface.. Also, the floater is not working very well so I guess it's time to change it and I'll get the Yogi that I've always wanted.



More Nature1 treats for the girls. They loved it, and I love feeding to them cos they're healthy and organic chew treats. This time round I've gotten the Chewy Chewies, Spare Ribs (2 packs) and am trying out this Tasty Tripe. Even Patches the lazy chewer had taken a liking to this Nature1 treats. Needless to say, Zen is always a foodie junkie.

Oh, and I love the bowl :) I'm a big fan of Powda products. I think they're great inventions. A little bit pricey, but they're good! And in case you didn't know, Doggyfriend offers a wide range of products and their prices are one of the lowest in town. How's that for an online pet store? Their delivery service is prompt and flexible too. You all should try their service. I always order my stuff from them. Two thumbs up for the excellent service, Isabelle :)

Zen: Lo and behold...

.. for the scary-looking collar from hell

Nat: Review on Root's shampoo

As promised earlier in this post, I'm gonna review about the shampoo. But before that, I have finally made up my mind to add myself as an author in this blog and to keep my other blog solely for my own. Matters pertaining to my girls will be posted here. As not to confuse you all, will be adding our names in front of each title.

Okay. So here goes the review. I tried the Roots whitening shampoo on Patches last Sunday. It's quite watery, lathered really well, and easy to rinse off. I don't know what's the craze about the thick shampoo, but I do prefer the more watery ones as I find that those thick ones are very hard to lather up and very hard to rinse off completely. Then I tried the conditioner on Patches. For some reasons it didn't went on as well as I had expected it to, and I hate massaging thick conditioners into Patches' skin cos it'll be very very hard to wash off later. Yesh, I am lazy. I dilute the conditioner a little, and the application was easier. Left it in her coat for about 10 minutes. Then rinse her squeaky clean and ran a chamois over her to soak up the water trapped in her coat.

Then came the blow-drying part. I didn't know what went wrong, but this is the first time Patches gotten so many matts on her! *pulls own hair* I did brushed her thoroughly before I brought her for bath, and did not find any bad matts on her. Now it's everywhere! How come the groomer Serene can do such a good job on her, using the same shampoo and conditioner, how come I can't? I felt like crying while I blowdry her. She seems moody too, as I was taking too long to dry and dematt her. It did cross my mind that if I should have just shave her down and save the trouble of the long daily grooming, but part of my heart actually aches.

I know can't be lazy if I want to grow her for long, but what actually went wrong? I spent 2 days dematting her; it was heart-wrenching to see her face looked so gloomy while I dematt. I'm going to try the same shampoo and conditioenr on her again this coming weekend. If it still matts that bad, I swear will send her for grooming to shave away the matts. *sigh*
