I swear some of these dogs break the law of conservation of mass. How can you remove a full dog worth of fur and still have a full dog worth of fur on the dog? It's amazing and mind boggling to watch every time.
Right?! I have been saying it for years, these dogs should be bald after loosing that much hair.... yet there they are, fluffy as ever. It doesn't make sense, it shouldn't make sense, it is magic.
Don't want to be technical, but there is conservation of volume going on, not conservation of mass... The fur just gets less dense and more air is able to get in between the hairs, which is why they look like they have just as much fur... I know you probably know this, but when I see a miss-use of a scientific term I can't stop myself from saying something about it...
There was a vacuum think it was ad years ago where a fluffy gray kitty sneezed and expelled fur in that kind of a way. It was hysterical and he looked a good deal like my one furbag.
I was expecting a much smaller dog at the end, at least. Like, chihuahua sized. For April Fools, Vanessa should groom Ilo again and then swap him out for a Pom with similar coloring after she's done drying him.
I have to squish watching these videos when my brothers dog is not at home, otherwise the giant (great Dane x Neapolitan mastiff) baby will lose his mind trying to "rescue" the poor puppers being tortured...
Thick fur indeed. Finnish Lapphunds were historically used for herding reindeer at the Arctic Circle in the far north of Finland. They don't really feel the cold that much.
Our Lapphund would sleep either in the yard, she would let snow fall on her until she was totally covered. Indoors she would sleep in the warmest spot of sunlight.
Your calm but firm handling very quickly teaches these dogs that 1) no amount of whining will make you stop, 2) you won't actually do anything painful, and possibly 3) after you're done they feel much more comfortable.
What a gorgeous dog. It's obvious his humans do a great job with his fur (and his global training) - it's so healthy and well maintained. And so thick! Holy heck, I know it's a (mostly) black dog but the wall changed color! I'm so happy the tickets to the fundraiser are selling well! Thank you for doing this to all these dogs (and the humans helping them).
My favorite story about grooming has to come from my sister about her cat Snickers. He is not like other cats. This lad LOVES baths, LOVES being brushed, and LOVES having his nails trimmed. Nothing but purrs and total compliance. She decided that she was going to give him a lion cut, since he is a long haired little man. He’s his usual happy, calm self, and when she pulls out the trimmer… he’s purring even louder. He loved it! He was eating up the attention! And then he stood up, and his fur didn’t follow. He was so confused and spooked! It must have been so funny to see the poor guy so shocked that his fur had betrayed him like that! He still sits still for any and all grooming, thankfully.
What a wonderful story, so vividly told! 🤣 Snickers sounds like an amazing and hilarious kitty. (Was he an orange marmalade tabby? For some reason they seem to be especially weird & funny - cf all those "one orange braincell" memes... also unusually people-oriented, and generally very tolerant of handling if it means more attention!)
@@anna_in_aotearoa3166 Thanks! He’s actually a grey cow cat, but spiritually, he is DEFINITELY an orange kitty. He and his brother, Dash (same coloration), share that one braincell. Dash lit his belly on fire one winter by standing over a lit candle!
@GeorgeABMoore Oh my gosh! 😱😂 I'm glad his brother survived that unintended incendiary experience! Pets of the lovable-but-scatty sort are an endless source of both amusement and worry... The number of stories I've heard from dog-owning friends about expensive vet visits following ingestion of stockings, broken glass, gravel, you name it! 🤦🏻♀️ At least most cats seem to be rather more sensible about what they'll eat, even if still occasionally inclined to court food-coma through over-stuffing themselves...?
Aww. I have a little girl that I am working on haircuts with…. We only do a very small amount at a time. Each time she gets up to leave she takes the cut hair and puts it on the top of her head. I think Snickers would have done that if he could.
If I ever got a Finnish Lapphund, I would get a herding-line one. They tend to have a lot less fur. Of course, I would need a house with no neighbours first! And for anyone wondering, the name is Ilo (as in i-l-o). It basically means happiness.
We met the most beautiful Brown with Tanpoint Lapphund puppy last year, having never heard of them before, then of course there's one on Vanessa's videos. He's grown now, see him regularly and he's even more gorgeous.
Lapponian Herder is the short haired one. But finnish lapphunds can and is also used for herding or atleast they should (and they are used in Lappland). They are not so bred that they would have forgotten herding.
Oh, I like that even more than my assumption of his name being an Electric Light Orchestra homage. I'll write that down for my trade writing work, as it's not a word or nomen I'm familiar with; thank you for that kindness!
Ilo is happiness but more towards Joy. Onni is male name in use which is also happiness. Onnellisuus is the formal written word of happiness. (Native speaker, also formal written and non formal spoken are two somewhat different type of weirdness)
Lapponian Herders indeed love to work, and are loud at it. My brother's dog is always in herding mode, trying to keep us humans in one clump, and is upset whenever one "leaves the pack"... 😅
I think he did great this time because he realized how good these grooms make him feel. No way he didn't feel great after all that fur was gone. Beautiful doggie. ❤🎉
Yay the return of Ilo. He is the reason I am now sitting here with my own Finnish Lapphund of almost 18 months, named Sisu. I gotta say Finnish Lapphunds are great dogs. They are so friendly and smart, a bit stubborn but also pretty easy to train. Although not for the lazy family, they require a couple solid walks per day plus mental stimulation. But I love my boy and would not trade him for anything in the world.
@@curious_soul7 Crossing my fingers you'll have the chance to get your own dog some day. Sisu is the best name for a finnish lapphund imo. The most finnish word for the most finnish dog. It suits him perfectly. :D
You weren't kidding about the furnado, especially on this backside. This is a gorgeous little dog and his groom turned out beautiful. He is obviously a well-loved and cared for dog; so sweet and cooperative.
Actually the fluffier version was not used that much for herding, the reindeer dogs were with the shorter coat because the snow doesn't get stuck to the fur. The short version and long version used to come from the same litters but were separated into different breeds. The Lapphund does have a herding line which has a much lighter coat.
Ilo is one of my favorite of your grooms. He's such a gorgeous boy and did behave so much more than it seemed he would by his initial whining. You do such an amazing job! ❤
So enjoyed watching this one. We had a Finnish Lapphund for 13 1/2 years. So many similar sounds and movements. Even his panting reminded me of my Bear Bear. Makes me wanna get another one.
They look like pudgy teddy bears. Then they turn into little wolf/shepherd sorta thing before their hair just explodes into puff ball. Its almost too cute!😢
In Finnish the long hairs at the back of the front legs are colloquially called "liuhuttimet", which is difficult to translate as finnish is so onomatopoetic and you can just make up words as you go, but I'd translate it to smth like "little flags" or "(party) streamers", something that catches the wind and flutters behind the dog as they run/walk. Hence not wanting to have them cut! The same kinda goes for the toe hairs, they're kinda like decorations on the dog, but it's understandable to cut them to stop slipping. They protect the paw pads from cold in winter, though. Thank you for having a lapphund video! Thanks Ilo!
Ilo is such a good boy and SO MUCH FUR!!! could spin it with some wool and knit winter accessories. Thank you to Ilo's family for showcasing their beautiful well trained boy :)
What a handsome teddy bear. He is stunning after his grooming ❤ props to his owners for exceptional training and patience, and to Vanessa for bringing this furnado some major relief. Ilo you are one very handsome boy ❤!
Oh my goodness Elo is so adorable. He definitely blew out a lot of coat with the help of your dryer. What a furnado. You do such great work on your fur babies Vanessa. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🥰
I follow another Lapphund from Svalbard - they're just giant puff balls! Up there above the Arctic circle they love to just lie outdoors in the cold, love the snow, but have to be leashed so they don't chase the (protected) reindeer! Amazing dogs!
Such a sweet Baby Boy, puppy dog!! Just adorable! Love his coat colors!❤❤❤❤ Miss. Vanessa you seem to be very patient and sweet and kind with all the furry babies that come to get groomed for free!
I’ve got a year-old lappie, the amount of hair that flies around when I clean him is STAGGERING. This video and your other video on this furball has been wildly helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏻 ☺️
You are to be comended for all the tireless and amazing grooming and transformations that take place in your groomer's store!❤❤❤❤❤ Keep up the good work, Miss. Vanessa We really admire you and are very grateful to you for all you do, over there in Niagra Falls,Canada!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
👍 👍 👍 👍 I swear I saw Elo being chased by a witch 🧙♀️ on a bicycle 🚲 in the storm that passed thru this morning 🌪. And I see your nails match your new racing suit! Nice.
When my husband & I adopted our first cat (RIP, Worf), we swore that we wouldn't "baby talk" to him like Vanessa was doing around the 8 minute mark. LOL. We weren't very successful. I think it lasted until the evening when he came out of hiding and we were so overjoyed that he had decided that "yes, these humans are nice and I shall rule over this kingdom for the rest of my years". We've adopted every cat we've had but unfortunately we can only adopt one at a time due to our small living space. Enrich your lives by adopted a cat or dog from your local shelter. Please get your pet fixed if they haven't been fixed by the shelter. If you can keep them inside for several years (while in heat), you should wait until they've passed their 2nd Birthday to get them fixed so they have the benefit of those added hormones to help prevent some cancers (some, not all, and it doesn't work for every dog/cat either). Unfortunately, there's no way of avoiding illnesses in your pets. Always keep your cats indoors or on a leash outdoors (yes...I said keep a cat on a leash). Your leash laws apply to ALL domesticated animals which means when you let your kitty out to roam at night. Anyone who ends up with your cat in their yard (destroying their yard) can capture and take them to the shelter (if you're lucky that's what they do) and inform the shelter staff that whover the owner is they're breaking the law by letting their cat roam. Laws differ by local jurisdictions so check your local jurisdiction. In Montana, if you live in town, you MUST have your cat on a leash (or your bunny or your dog). We've used our tender traps to capture cats who've decided that our house is a litter box. We usually give the cat back with a copy of the law regarding leashes (the first, second, and sometimes 3rd time we catch). However, if we don't know the owners, we take the cat to the shelter and they'll scan the chip to contact the owners. We're never given that information nor do they give the owners our information. We feel horrible doing it because it is NOT the cat's fault. The cats are being cats. The owners are being irresponsible.
Thank You for mentioning Cancer. I am not in the Veterinary Field, but I did volunteer at an Animal Hospital. It was the veterinarian who told me that.
I'm glad to see the trend moving away from free-roaming cats, even though it goes against long tradition? Both because it significantly extends feline lifespans (far less fights, infected wounds, vehicular deaths & escaping as ferals) but also because of the massive impact that outdoor cats have on our unique endangered species of birds, lizards & even giant insects. There's so much great guidance on YT now too around enriching a cat's indoor environment, helping out owners who haven't tried that before? Really great when owners have cats that also accept leash training &/or backpack carrier travel though, so that they can share outdoor adventures safely - esp. if you also have dogs you're walking.
Ilo just takes my breath away. Yes it's because I'm mildly allergic to dander and it's more apparent with dogs that shed a ton, but also he's such a beautiful pupper
The scale might automatically zero itself with light weight. Place something of a few pounds on the scale for the scale to register. Then place the bag of hair on top to see the total weight.
My beautiful Siberian husky Remi just crossed the rainbow bridge and he was the best. Loved everyone including the groomer and getting groomed he never howled and always let the groomer shave his paw pads and cut his nails I miss him so much 😢❤
I definitely can't believe how much hair he lost and I definitely think that he was the best dog 🐕 on your channel in getting his nails done and his feet 🐾 🐾 as well he never ever moved at all 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I just bought tickets! We are coming from Nashville, Tennessee. So excited!
He really did change , but beautiful dog so fluffy
Could weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the bag of fur, then subtract, or add…or other random maths. :) works with airport luggage too!
With all the fluff flying, reminds me of someone making candy floss. Love your videos ❤👍☕

Right?! I have been saying it for years, these dogs should be bald after loosing that much hair.... yet there they are, fluffy as ever. It doesn't make sense, it shouldn't make sense, it is magic.
🤣🤣🤣
Ergo, they must have infinite fur. 🤔😀
It's quantum dogmanics
Don't want to be technical, but there is conservation of volume going on, not conservation of mass... The fur just gets less dense and more air is able to get in between the hairs, which is why they look like they have just as much fur...
I know you probably know this, but when I see a miss-use of a scientific term I can't stop myself from saying something about it...
I keep the subtitles on when the groomee (!) is a screamer, and when he whines, the subtitle says "Applause" 😅
That's funny 😂😂😂
Had to turn them on to see for myself😂😂😂
It also says [music] when it's just the sound of the blower. There's no music.
so, i guess im not the only one who uses captions on the dryer part. the applause got me too, applause for hair explosion, lol.
😂
At 7:05 you can see how there's a roughly dog-shaped blank space on the back wall, that's one heck of a furnado.
I fast forwarded to 7:05 to see and that is hilarious 😂😂
That's so funny 🤣🤣😂😂
Good eye!!!
The furnado in slow motion was genius editing.
She's funny 🤣
Agreed - a majestic cinematic masterpiece.
I feel if Ilo was a cartoon dog. He would sneeze and explode all his fur out in one achoo.
😂
There was so much fur, he'd probably sneeze into two extra puppers
Everyone in the room is immediately covered in it like a bomb went off lmfao
That's such a cute image. 😊
There was a vacuum think it was ad years ago where a fluffy gray kitty sneezed and expelled fur in that kind of a way. It was hysterical and he looked a good deal like my one furbag.
He proved you wrong. He was amazingly well behaved!
And I bet she doesn’t mind one bit being proven wrong.
He was such a good boi! 💖
He has such a cute face!!
He was very sweet in the first vid as well.
His fur looks magnificent in the sunshine
I know, right? So glossy and smooth.
Yes I noticed the same. His fur was shining in the sun. 😊
How is there even a Dog still left with so much fur flying around! XD
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I was expecting a much smaller dog at the end, at least. Like, chihuahua sized. For April Fools, Vanessa should groom Ilo again and then swap him out for a Pom with similar coloring after she's done drying him.
and with so much hair left! Wow!
My dogs always look so concerned when a loud dog or cat is on 😂😂 they're like "mom why do you watch these animals SUFFERING?!"
Sounds familiar……each time Vanessa works on a talking critter, my Loki comes over and shows his concern!
My Great Pyrenees has started zoning in on the TV when an animal is making noise.😂
Lol, my 15 yr old Jack Russell just goes right on sleeping 😂
I have to squish watching these videos when my brothers dog is not at home, otherwise the giant (great Dane x Neapolitan mastiff) baby will lose his mind trying to "rescue" the poor puppers being tortured...
GWTD: "you are so much better than the first 2 times"
E: "well, yeah, I didn't DIE!"
Thick fur indeed. Finnish Lapphunds were historically used for herding reindeer at the Arctic Circle in the far north of Finland. They don't really feel the cold that much.
And are still used for it.
Our Lapphund would sleep either in the yard, she would let snow fall on her until she was totally covered. Indoors she would sleep in the warmest spot of sunlight.
Our Lapphund used to sleep under a water coming from the roof during the spring time ,when it got above freezing and the snow started to melt.
Your calm but firm handling very quickly teaches these dogs that 1) no amount of whining will make you stop, 2) you won't actually do anything painful, and possibly 3) after you're done they feel much more comfortable.
She deals with them the way you should deal with unruly kids. Your tantrum isn’t going to get you what you want, so suck it up!
A Hairpocolypse!! A Shrednami! That sweet pup must feel so much better. And clearly he understands now that you are helping him. Epic Blowout Vanessa.
😂
What a gorgeous dog. It's obvious his humans do a great job with his fur (and his global training) - it's so healthy and well maintained. And so thick! Holy heck, I know it's a (mostly) black dog but the wall changed color!

Omg. My Dad's cat Molly lit her whiskers on fire. She was a chocolate Balinese. Gorgeous, not smart.
@GeorgeABMoore Oh my gosh! 😱😂 I'm glad his brother survived that unintended incendiary experience!
Pets of the lovable-but-scatty sort are an endless source of both amusement and worry... The number of stories I've heard from dog-owning friends about expensive vet visits following ingestion of stockings, broken glass, gravel, you name it! 🤦🏻♀️ At least most cats seem to be rather more sensible about what they'll eat, even if still occasionally inclined to court food-coma through over-stuffing themselves...?

I love that Ilo's groom is now a yearly tradition. Happy king's day, everyone!
He has always been my favorite dog and love that his family brings him to your shop repeatedly
Every time a hair moves it somehow spawns eight or ten minion hairs. He's like the Final Boss of Fur.
Good thing he doesn’t teleport to the complete other side of the map like some final bosses I’ve fought.
What an impressive representative of the Finnish Lapphund breed he is. Such a good dog. He's one of your best behaved grooms.
Do u use the guard on the nail clippers
It is amazing how damn fluffy Finnish lapphunds are! Your shop looked something out of a nightmare after the blowdryer!
I think he did great this time because he realized how good these grooms make him feel. No way he didn't feel great after all that fur was gone. Beautiful doggie. ❤🎉
Bless him he is so good for you.
I used to have one of these, they are incredibly smart and loving. I miss my doggy. I had her for 17 years.
He looks amazing and his coat is SOOO shiny. You always do such a amazing job grooming, it was definitely your calling in life 🥳
Yay the return of Ilo. He is the reason I am now sitting here with my own Finnish Lapphund of almost 18 months, named Sisu. I gotta say Finnish Lapphunds are great dogs. They are so friendly and smart, a bit stubborn but also pretty easy to train. Although not for the lazy family, they require a couple solid walks per day plus mental stimulation.

Oo, I am jealous! Hoping to soon have such life circumstances that I can get my own. Btw: Great choice of name!
@@curious_soul7 Crossing my fingers you'll have the chance to get your own dog some day. Sisu is the best name for a finnish lapphund imo. The most finnish word for the most finnish dog. It suits him perfectly. :D
Ilo means Joy in finnish
@@MrPek-fe9fp kyllä tiedän 😁
I believe my Finnish aunt had a cat with the name Sisu. Does it have a Finnish meaning or am I just remembering way wrong?
Superb furnado!! Did not disappoint. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He's like an otter - 1 million hairs per square inch! Ilo was SO good & as pretty as always! Nicely done! 🥰
You weren't kidding about the furnado, especially on this backside. This is a gorgeous little dog and his groom turned out beautiful. He is obviously a well-loved and cared for dog; so sweet and cooperative.
WOW! Barely a peep!
"Not that he was bad..." he was just really LOUD! 😂
A Suomenlapinkoira! Oh! That fur is needed for herding reindeer in the icy climate of Finland. Love them
Actually the fluffier version was not used that much for herding, the reindeer dogs were with the shorter coat because the snow doesn't get stuck to the fur. The short version and long version used to come from the same litters but were separated into different breeds. The Lapphund does have a herding line which has a much lighter coat.
He seemed so resigned that he just need to take the bath and drying. And furnado is right!
Finish Laphunds are so cute!!
Ilo is a favorite to see!!! Looks naturally happy and a bit comical.
@@alanouye5355 Ilo actually means joy in Finnish lol
It's incredible how much fur he sheds during his blow dry. He is one beautiful dog❤
Ilo is one of my favorite of your grooms. He's such a gorgeous boy and did behave so much more than it seemed he would by his initial whining. You do such an amazing job! ❤
So glad I've committed to no more pets because a Lapphund would be tempting. What a gorgeous creature!
So enjoyed watching this one. We had a Finnish Lapphund for 13 1/2 years. So many similar sounds and movements. Even his panting reminded me of my Bear Bear. Makes me wanna get another one.
My cat started watching as soon as she heard doggy cries!
She probably thought that the video would show her how to get a dog to yell so much.
Mine do too lol
He must have been an adorable puppy!
They look like pudgy teddy bears. Then they turn into little wolf/shepherd sorta thing before their hair just explodes into puff ball. Its almost too cute!😢
I love Ilo's face the first time I laid eyes on him Ilo easily looks so lovable 😍🥰😘
Happy Sunday. I showed my son the last furnado and he has two rescues so…he loved it.
Ilo is beautiful! I'm sure that he feels so much better after his groom getting clean and rid of all that excess fur.
He’s like a full size Pomeranian. (I know that’s not his breed, but his face is similar to one..)
I think they belong to the spitz family of dogs so that’s probably where the likeness comes from
Correct! All those Spitz-type dogs, Poms included, are kin. The United Kennel Club actually groups them together into the Northern Breeds group
Not accurate, but think of a Kaiju sized Pomeranian.
Well he's pretty much the cousin of the pomeranian
I think in real life they look more like colored samoyed 😄
Uploaded 32 seconds ago? What a lucky morning for me!
Holy whoa. You could stuff an entire throw pillow with that much fur!
Heck, you could stuff a love seat with that amount 🤣
So spin a lot of yarn
In Finnish the long hairs at the back of the front legs are colloquially called "liuhuttimet", which is difficult to translate as finnish is so onomatopoetic and you can just make up words as you go, but I'd translate it to smth like "little flags" or "(party) streamers", something that catches the wind and flutters behind the dog as they run/walk. Hence not wanting to have them cut!
The same kinda goes for the toe hairs, they're kinda like decorations on the dog, but it's understandable to cut them to stop slipping. They protect the paw pads from cold in winter, though.
Thank you for having a lapphund video! Thanks Ilo!
Wow.... Elo is GORGEOUS and a Mr hairy paws, far out. Well, he must feel SO much better now after all your hard work Vanessa.
Ilo.
Thanks
MY FAVORITE HAS RETURNED!!!!!
Not that one ever would, but could you imagine if Ilo and Duke were blow dried back to back?!?
Ilo did such a good job this time around, as did you, of course! Loved the slow motion video. Good luck with your fundraiser. Peace …
He look lovely and so shiny.
I just love Ilo. I think is the third vid of him, including 1 clean up of the extreme furnado.
So glad I watched this for my two Lappies.
Thank you.
Ilo is such a good boy and SO MUCH FUR!!! could spin it with some wool and knit winter accessories.
Thank you to Ilo's family for showcasing their beautiful well trained boy :)
What a gorgeous boy. So silky and shiny after the grooming. Wow that was a lot of fur that came off of him.
E-Io looks amazing! What a difference a bath and a blow-dry make! : )
Perhaps his name is ILO, which is the Finnish word for happiness. Pronunciation is very close to English "ELO".
Seek shelter immediately!! Furnado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was well behaved this time. :) Thank you.
SO great to see Ilo again! He's one of my favorites. And not only because he represents Finland, either. He's so fluffy and gorgeous.
What a handsome teddy bear. He is stunning after his grooming ❤ props to his owners for exceptional training and patience, and to Vanessa for bringing this furnado some major relief.
Ilo you are one very handsome boy ❤!
Stopp his eyes are so cute!! I love him!! Such a good doggo 🥰
Looks like a rottie crossed with a samoyed, or perhaps the biggest pomeranian alive hahaha precious baby gorgeous boi.
What a cutie ❤ he definitely was letting you know his opinion 😂
What a precious boi with adorable Grinchy feets
Oh my goodness Elo is so adorable. He definitely blew out a lot of coat with the help of your dryer. What a furnado. You do such great work on your fur babies Vanessa. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🥰
I follow another Lapphund from Svalbard - they're just giant puff balls! Up there above the Arctic circle they love to just lie outdoors in the cold, love the snow, but have to be leashed so they don't chase the (protected) reindeer! Amazing dogs!
3rd time is charm. He was so good & is beautiful.
Joy-boy Ilo repping Finland so well and being on his best behaviour
Hey, no one likes their manhood 'blowing in the wind' 😂 Thank you for respecting his family jewels 😉
Aaa, Ilo the goodest boy is back! He definitely learned from the last time that grooming isn't that bad.
Hims a cutie patootie afterwards! 😍🥰 And he was definitely a good boy!!! Great job for both of you! 🎉
You Owe him an apology! He was a very good dog 😊
What an absolutely STUNNING dog!🐕 He's simply gorgeous! ❤ Don't make fun of his extra fluffs! Y'all are just jelly!😉😎
What a handsome boy he did so well ! Thanks for sharing !
Such a sweet Baby Boy, puppy dog!! Just adorable! Love his coat colors!❤❤❤❤
Miss. Vanessa you seem to be very patient and sweet and kind with all the furry babies that come to get groomed for free!
Very calm dog today. Beautiful grooming. Incredible amount of fur on the floor and everywhere. Thanks.
I’ve got a year-old lappie, the amount of hair that flies around when I clean him is STAGGERING. This video and your other video on this furball has been wildly helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏻 ☺️
Thats an F-5 if ever I saw one!
I think we may have gone past that into an Extended Furjita Scale EF-6...
He's matures into a delightful gentleman. Bless his heart, he deserves all the treats
Elo is super fluffy😍
Shed enough fur for another dog, just in time for summer!
It’s Ilo btw

His coat is fantastic!
👍 👍 👍 👍 I swear I saw Elo being chased by a witch 🧙♀️ on a bicycle 🚲 in the storm that passed thru this morning 🌪. And I see your nails match your new racing suit! Nice.

When my husband & I adopted our first cat (RIP, Worf), we swore that we wouldn't "baby talk" to him like Vanessa was doing around the 8 minute mark. LOL. We weren't very successful. I think it lasted until the evening when he came out of hiding and we were so overjoyed that he had decided that "yes, these humans are nice and I shall rule over this kingdom for the rest of my years". We've adopted every cat we've had but unfortunately we can only adopt one at a time due to our small living space. Enrich your lives by adopted a cat or dog from your local shelter. Please get your pet fixed if they haven't been fixed by the shelter. If you can keep them inside for several years (while in heat), you should wait until they've passed their 2nd Birthday to get them fixed so they have the benefit of those added hormones to help prevent some cancers (some, not all, and it doesn't work for every dog/cat either). Unfortunately, there's no way of avoiding illnesses in your pets. Always keep your cats indoors or on a leash outdoors (yes...I said keep a cat on a leash). Your leash laws apply to ALL domesticated animals which means when you let your kitty out to roam at night. Anyone who ends up with your cat in their yard (destroying their yard) can capture and take them to the shelter (if you're lucky that's what they do) and inform the shelter staff that whover the owner is they're breaking the law by letting their cat roam. Laws differ by local jurisdictions so check your local jurisdiction. In Montana, if you live in town, you MUST have your cat on a leash (or your bunny or your dog). We've used our tender traps to capture cats who've decided that our house is a litter box. We usually give the cat back with a copy of the law regarding leashes (the first, second, and sometimes 3rd time we catch). However, if we don't know the owners, we take the cat to the shelter and they'll scan the chip to contact the owners. We're never given that information nor do they give the owners our information. We feel horrible doing it because it is NOT the cat's fault. The cats are being cats. The owners are being irresponsible.
In Germany, cats are allowed to roam freely and there are rarely any issues.
Thank You for mentioning Cancer. I am not in the Veterinary Field, but I did volunteer at an Animal Hospital. It was the veterinarian who told me that.
I'm glad to see the trend moving away from free-roaming cats, even though it goes against long tradition? Both because it significantly extends feline lifespans (far less fights, infected wounds, vehicular deaths & escaping as ferals) but also because of the massive impact that outdoor cats have on our unique endangered species of birds, lizards & even giant insects. There's so much great guidance on YT now too around enriching a cat's indoor environment, helping out owners who haven't tried that before?
Really great when owners have cats that also accept leash training &/or backpack carrier travel though, so that they can share outdoor adventures safely - esp. if you also have dogs you're walking.
Ilo just takes my breath away. Yes it's because I'm mildly allergic to dander and it's more apparent with dogs that shed a ton, but also he's such a beautiful pupper
This is the cutest doggy with an insane furnado!
Excellent furnado! 👍 Bet he has more pep in his step being so light and fluffy. Such a cutie!
Snowglobe effect with the blowout. He seemed very calm throughout the groom.
Oh! He was so pretty with his new ‘do out in the yard!❤❤❤
Boy, ELO was a really good boy for his groom this time. Maybe he'll turn out to be one of your easier dogs to groom!❤😊 He seems like a sweet boy.

Oh my goodness what a beautiful animal!! My heart melts for this breed, so loveable. Great for the lonely man who needs a companion.
The scale might automatically zero itself with light weight.
Place something of a few pounds on the scale for the scale to register.
Then place the bag of hair on top to see the total weight.
I was waiting for an aria, but nothing 😂. Glad Ilo is progressing with his grooms 😊
Nice to see a Finnish Lapphund. If I could own a dog this breed would definitly be a choice.
aww he knows you're there to pamper him, you can tell he's enjoying it!
My beautiful Siberian husky Remi just crossed the rainbow bridge and he was the best. Loved everyone including the groomer and getting groomed he never howled and always let the groomer shave his paw pads and cut his nails I miss him so much 😢❤
I’m so sorry. It’s so very hard when a beloved pet passes. Sending sincere condolences.
Sending sincere condolences also. No matter the animal or breed, they leave paw/claw/feathered/hoofed/fin prints on our hearts! ❤ 🕯🥀 💔
I knew it was Elo as soon as I saw his picture and was super excited! His video is one of my favorites!
Ilo.
Ilo has obviously figured out that fighting this process is a waste of energy and surrendered to the pampering. 😂❤️
I definitely can't believe how much hair he lost and I definitely think that he was the best dog 🐕 on your channel in getting his nails done and his feet 🐾 🐾 as well he never ever moved at all 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
