You have a nice haircut kit there buddy! I recently had to start cutting Nadi's hair on her own because the doggy beauty salon I took her too just wasn't there one day. I'm not very good at it and I only have the one tool - the electric trimmers.
Nadi is very well behaved but of course really doesn't like the clippers getting close to her face. I really struggle with the ears and feet - how am i supposed to get in-between these tiny toes?
She tolerates it though because she knows the treats will be a flowin' after we finish. She normally ends up looking silly but you know, dogs don't care what they look like.
Wow, I didn't know you were cutting her hair now. Tell you the truth it's been a while since I've been over to your blog so I'll have to check it out because I'm sure you wrote about it.
Hope you have been well otherwise.
We enjoyed many years of dropping Molly off to the groomer, but our groomer retired and that was that. It's hard to find a good one and on top of that one that wouldn't make her more nervous than she already is. Given her age and medical condition we decided just to do it ourselves. This way we don't have to deal with endless diarrhea after she gets home due to the stress. Sounds fun doesn't it!? Lol.
Give Nadi a nice pat on the head and some ice cream for Molly and I!
well i haven't been terribly active and that is why I haven't been commenting about Molly's cuteness in a while either.
I don't know how much longer I will be able to keep up with the grooming. I'm terrible at it but yeah, the lack of stress thing might actually make it all worthwhile.
I bought a nicer set of scissors and they work pretty well for between the paw pads and what not. I also use the clippers ever so carefully, but mine are adjustable. So I just back them off a little and lightly take the bulk of it away. Anyhow... I did a lot of my learning from YouTube. lol.
Since her disease feeds off stress, we thought it best.. plus she's 14 years 16 months and 11 days old! hehe. Why put her through yet another change.
The things we do to make our floofters comfortable. You ever tried one of those nail cutters that is rotary and can "detect" the quicks?
Yeah tell me about it!
No.. Didn't know something like that existed..
