| I see some pretty amazing precision cutting there. I absolutely adore her coloring. How old is she?

| What setting do you use on the barrel iron to get that curl in her tongue?

| I think you did a wonderful job!!! I do mine too. No way are they going to a groomer's with all the horror stories I've heard and read. I was at the vets talking to a lady today and she told me one about her friend's dog...nope, nope, nope. It will grow back in two weeks and they will still be safe and healthy in that time too

| I mean if you are not showing her than what's the difference. It will grow back. This is why I do it myself. Ever since a groomer lobbed off part of my Coco's ear I never brought them to a groomer again.

| Thanks everyone who responded! The main reason , of course, for me was money, but her last visit to the groomer was awful ! She came back with most of her muzzle hair cut and chopped off horribly, and they cut her eyelashes off, i mean really close to the skin, and she had a few razor burns on her chest area. I said , well it will grow back, so I took a swing at it, and I am glad that I did..lol..I know its not perfect, but practice makes perfect, and its less stressful for her as well. |
