This is our Granddog, Libby. She is approximately thirteen in people years. She belongs to our daughter Gabby and her family. She has been spending a month with us. We call it her doggy spa retreat. Her family got a new much younger and much, much bigger, and much, much more active Vizla dog about a year ago. Libby has been depressed ever since. I can relate. If my husband brought a new younger, peppier, wife home; I depressed; especially if, like Libby, I had no say in the matter. Enter her wonderful human grandparents, Nana and PopPop.
She has returned to her former active self here. She loved hunting through our huge yard, especially the "flower house". Curtis is remodeling the "flower house" to house his John Deere lawn mower. He and Libby have unearthed all manner of critters. Libby loves her some critters.
Today her family is picking her up because Nana and Pop Pop are going on a trip next week. So I decided she needed a make over to boost her spirits before returning.
I decided if we got rid of her grey she would look like her younger self. Here I am applying the hair color. I choose golden brown as the color closest to her natural color.
I was careful to include her tail so there would be no grey to give her away.
Here she is waiting the processing time out in her den....aka cage.
This is how she looked after rinsing. Hmmmmm......those racoon eyes are there because I didn't want to blind her by getting too close with the hair color. Don't you think the white area looks a little like eyeshadow and gives her eyes a "lift". I think so, too.
Well let me close this before her family arrives for the big reveal. I'm not sure we'll be keeping Libby ever again.... oh well!.
