Today I took my dog Zelda for a [fur do] groom. Is that necessary? Can you do it yourself? Why bother? All of these questions have been asked over the years. The answer is simple. Grooming is essential to keep her coat in good condition. Also to enable her to move freely. She is double coated and gets a lot of snags and knots matting in her fur. Some people do groom their own dogs. I groom both of my dogs daily. However Zelda does require a professional groom every two months. Some dogs have been diagnosed with medical conditions such as arthritis because the fur matting have been so great that the dog can't move it's legs properly and has difficulty walking. In these cases a professional groom would sort out the problem. Obviously this only works in these cases and some dogs really do get arthritis. God gave me the responsibility of looking after Zelda. He expects me to love and care for her as he loves and cares for me. This means going above and beyond just feeding her. It means making sacrifices with my time and money to be with her, and to ensure that she is happy and healthy. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us he died to ensure that we can be eternally happy and healthy.
