the lovely monkey
We called in again to see Monkey in Clitheroe, Lancashire as he was due his Autumn brush out.
Monkey is 8 years old. When we arrived, he was laid happily on his couch, enjoying the sunshine. He’s a quiet boy and a little nervous with it. We had a little chat and stroke before setting up our equipment.
Today’s session was a little more timely than previous ones and it did make a difference in terms of ease of brushing and length of session. On top of this, Monkey is a little more relaxed at each session occurs. On previous sessions we have tried a soft mask to help ease anxiety – which has worked well – but today we went ahead without.
Monkey’s coat was mat free, so he simply enjoyed a thorough brush out. Afterwards his coat looked really fine and healthy.
He was back in the room after the session, having a good sniff and nosey at all the equipment. He’d obviously forgotten that he had wanted to go out out earlier !
After the session, mum Sue said :
“I can’t believe how relaxed Monkey was for his grooming session this time. He didn’t need the soft muzzle and was content to look out of the window, keeping an eye on his territory ! He has been very pleased with himself since you came ! Looking forward to the next session ! Thanks, Sue and Monkey”
Nice session, Monkey. Well done ! See you again in the Spring !
