The groomer that I was using at PetSmart left and she knew how I wanted Puddles cut and that I would be upset if something when wrong. No one will no tell me where she is working, so I'm on my on.
Since I was off work today, I decided that there is not much I can't do and I was going to groom Puddles myself (mess or not). All I had was combs brushes and scissors. Well, he was a perfect angel. He stood on the vanity counter for a long time. And I was shocked at how good it was going, even if it did take me 2 hours (allowing him a 15 min break). Once all finished I hated that I didn't take a before pic. Even Puddles had a smile on his face, suppose he was glad it was all over.
Hubby came in from work and the 1st thing he said, I didn't know Puddles had an appt today. He started checking him out for cuts and gaps and was surprised how good he looked. There were only 2 places that were a little shorter on the back hip, but its a start. (should have seen the bathroom, fuzzy cotton hair every where)
Now we have to purchase clippers and I don't know where to start. Do I order them on line or do you think the ones at PetSmart will do fine. I really don't want to put over $200 on the entire set. I'm not going to trim nails or pluck the ears since I always let the vet take care of that, and don't want to push my luck.
