| Ok, I just cannot do it... I finally realized that I suck at home grooming for Roxie.. I think admitting that I have a problem is the first step to recovery..lol.. So I made her an appt. with a groomer right around the corner from work, they will let me drop her off before work and pick her up after. The lady seems very knowledgeable and grooms alot of yorkies, so wish us luck..lol... |

| I cannot do it either. My dogs love going to the groomers - so they get treated to the "spa" (LOL) every 6 weeks or so. Wish I could say the same for me.

| Shake hands with another sucky groomer. I brought Zach in on Saturday to have him groomed because I couldn't do it either. He came back looking beautuful. To bad he went outside later that day and rolled in the mud so I had to bathe him all over again. |

| good luck. I cant do home grooming either and I just love how my groomer does them. They look and smell so good after a groom. A good groomer is priceless

| Thanks for sharing the pictures lexi! So cute! I totally thought I was doing really good until this last groom, and my poor fur child looks like a runaway..lol...The last professional groomer we had didnt do good either (left razor burn on my baby, and cut her eyelashes), so fingers crossed that this one is great! |

| Don't feel bad, we sucked at it too! I bought all the best stuff and lots of it and tried it a few times with all three and just gave up! It would take me all day to do 2 of them and then I would have to do the 3rd one the next day, lol! I think I stressed out over it too much! I wish it had gone the other way, it sure would save us a lot of money, but sometimes it's knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are! We do have a groomer we are very happy with now!

YT Addict | Mia is a handful I admit! SO I am looking for a good patient groomer. I knicked her ear when I last tried!! I groom horses but boy this is a different game especially when you are trying to trim jello. I think I will start taking her in for a weekly bath and work towards the fur cut. |

| I take Macy to groomers every other month. It takes maybe 2 or 3 hours for her to get done and every time I pick her up, she smells and looks so good!!
