From Yak to Back (to OES)

Well, after my vet's husband wanted to know when I had acquired a yak... :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jeri Hoppe (Four Square OES) happened to call out of the blue and asked if I had an OES with enough hair to be used for a grooming competition. I thought about it for about 0.5 seconds...

These are my before pictures (meaning she's not "done up", just...hairy)

Upon return (so I didn't get to see her all "done up", though I can just imagine she was adorable!)

(With apolgies to Jeri for not doing her work justice. Mace was a little fidgety on the table, wanting to get back to the important things in life... :wink: )

And now that she's functional again:

Many thanks to Jeri!!! And the next time she's looking for an OES for competition in your area -go for it!!!!

Yeah, but I doubt she smelled like a yak! She lovely with her, "I just washed my hair and it's evident I need to call the hairdresser look."
She's beautiful! :clappurple:
Oh my... I love the picture of her clearing the jump!!
Gorgeous!!
Macy is just so beautiful either way.
She is Beautiful all "done up".. and such a happy looking girl.
She's gorgeous..
I also love the picture of her jumping.

Good one Marilyn!! :lol: :lol:

Mace looks great...wow, you weren't kidding when you said she was growing hair! Now she's a bit more managable :D
Soooooo pretty. Love the pics!!
SO THAT IS WHAT A SHEEPDOG IS SUPOSE TO LOOK LIKE JUST STUNNING
Very pretty. But where were the Yak pictures? :?
I believe this is what prompted the Yak comment:

Of course, when he saw her (I brought her to a dinner party, doesn't everyone bring their yak to dinner parties? :cow: 8) ), I had my usual two top knots on her hairy head and she was indeed quite the sight... 8O

As a comparative look (scroll down a bit till you get the picture :roll: ):

OMG, I can't let Todd see those Yaks!! 8O

He has always threatened to get a longhorn......and these guys are like a llama and longhorn all in one!!

(And for those who don't know, we got a llama mamma yesterday - due in June 2011 and her name is Stefany!)
She looks gorgeous! I wish the grooming fairy would visit me once in awhile, although Jenny hates to be groomed, which is why she is usually in a puppy cut.
She looks beautiful and I love that happy face.

I am lucky enough to have a grooming fairy. Her name is Lisa. :D 8)

Mine is (usually) named Sunny....

Unfortunately she's the fairy grooming mother for a lot of OES and looked a little panic stricken when she last saw the yak! 8O :lol: :lol:

Kristine
Poor Sunny!

So far Lisa has maintained her composure and risen to every challenge.
Even a Tiggy who stunk of fox spoor. :cow:
I got to see the (former) yak today and not only is she beautiful but she smells good too :D

Yup. A huge step up from her sister who has so much head coat she got it wrapped around a weavepole last night and got stuck! :oops: :oops: :oops:

Less hair for her by next week, too, if I have my way. Better smelling too. W/o professional help it may not look so good.... :oops: :P :oops: but hopefully Sunny will fix the worst of my mistakes before the national. :roll: :wink:

Great class last night, Pam. Simon is doing awesome! And your front crosses are really coming along. :clappurple: :clappurple: :clappurple:
