Look Ma, No Clumps!

Emmitt is a very soft and well... clumpy pug at times. He sheds constantly, but sometimes it comes out in clumps and when you pull out one clump, another one takes it place and he looks, sorry Emmitt... terrible. Well no longer! Emmitt has been Furminated. :)



Yesterday was a very hot day here in Colorado, reaching almost 100 degrees. Here is Fred enjoying some lemonade before calling Emmitt out to be declumped.

Here comes the innocent pug, hoping for a treat...


I was so proud of Emmitt. He sat so nicely while he was brushed which sometimes is not the case. We got all the undercoat off and now He is beautiful!


"Ooo I feel so light and free."


"Come on, Let's go and get me a treat for being such a good Pug!"



"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!"

Happy Monday everyone!

Awww, he does look so proud of his newly styled coat. And I am sure it felt even better to shed some fur on such a hot day. Thanks for sharing and happy Monday right back.

OOoo, don't you love the Furminator?! We have one, and I often feel I could brush the pugs for days and still get hair off. Glad Emmitt is clump-free and feeling lighter!

Aww what a good boy! I hope he got good treats for that! Pugsley also got furminated for the first time this weekend. He loved it.

Hey Melissa, I bet Emmitt feels better too. I have to brush my guys every day and let me tell ya, sometimes it is a pain. I take them to the groomer once a month since they have long hair and one of the things he does is remove their undercoats..I think it makes them happier (lighter anyway ) and it certainly makes them easier for me to brush. Stay cool in your heat...it is hot and icky here too.

What good Emmy Sans ClumpyPants. He is just so handsome and looks light as air now. I hope you ran inside post haste and gave him something absolutely delicious for all that hard work he did. Howard sits pretty for his furminations, because he knows there is always a cookie involved at the end...
xxoo

haha - love the series of events photos - he looks so happy to have all that fur gone! I really need to invest in one of these....

We love your doggie door, Emmitt! We sure wish we had one of those! We bet you feel so much lighter having all that fur taken off you!
Did you hear me barking? That's what I do when I see a lemon! I hate lemons!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Emmitt is such a cute puggy! His coat hair looks long! Mine is really short so, luckily for my parents, it doesn't clump at all. I actually only need to be brushed maybe once a month.

Wow. Mom may have to check this thing out. Not that I need it, but Lucky might.

My late bernese mountain dog, Powwow, had a Furminator......... it is the best! Emmitt looks so handsome! I luv your doggy door!

You do realize that pugs only shed twice a year, 6 months at a time! ;-). I just saw Emmit singing to the pink pig. My son made me play it 3 times! LOL! Thanks for the hoot!

Your pugs always make me smile :O)
How cute is Emmitt dashing through his tiny pug door! glad to see he is clump free and light on his toes!

Unknown said...

Hello again! We just wanted to let you guys know that we are hosting a new challenge - project dogway! check out our latest blog for details. No time to celebrate from your last victory, Emmitt - it's competition time now!

Unknown said...

Hee hee. Emmitt is so much fun. Furminator? I thought Pono was the only dog who hated to be brushed. I haven't tried a Furminator on him.

Ooohhh Emmitt is so nice and handsome after his Furmination!

I'm overdue for mine! Maybe mom will tackle that tomorrow. Ugh!

I'm glad you feel better buddy!

Love,

S-Dog

Way cool Emmitt ... your Mom posted a swell photo spread that captured the essence of hot dogs in the summer ... now what is that crafty gal going to do with your fur??? I sense a hairy project in the works?

Nevis said...

Does the furminator actually help reduce the shedding in your opinion...?

Sandy Mastroni said...

Melissa, we just ordered a Furminator for Alice yesterday...looks like Emmitt is ready for the runway!

marianne said...

hahaha, such a nice post!
My doggies don't like to be combed either and after brushing or just cleaning their eyes or whatever they also think they have deserved a treat and dance on their behind legs to tell me to get cookies.
Emmitt looks great after declumping.
