I had been wondering when I would get groomed again. I knew I was way overdue. My back hairs stood up like a crazy clown’s hair when they were rubbed the wrong way. My hair does need to be kept pretty as befits a princess, even a warrior princess, right?
Are we done? No bath today? Woo hoo!
Will I do a nice pose next to all of my hair that is no longer on my body?
How’s that? Do I get a cookie now?
One more, and look a little more interested?
Geesh, how interested can I be in old hair that I can’t even eat?
Hey everyone, look at all my hair on the table! I am so interested in what you think! Can I have a cookie now, Mommy?
Hey Daddy can I get a glass of that special stuff in the schnauzer bottle? Maybe just a little? As compensation for being groomed? No? Another cookie, then?
I am Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess, always campaigning for the good things in life.

Mommy trained Lucy to jump in the bathtub, and Lucy doesn’t like a bath either. Mommy says try tempting him in with something called a “high quality treat,” like chicken or beef. Then hang on tight!! Xena

That explains the traditional grooming fro schnauzers! (Perhaps the side poofs on Persian kitties’ faces serve a similar purpose! I’ll have to ask the kitty boys’ groomer next time I see her.)
