| For those that keep their hair shorter.... how often do you take them to the groomers? I was hoping to let Daisy's hair grow long, but it just wans't looking good so i took her to the groomers, what, 2 weeks ago now? well i guess because it was all straggly, and needed a fresh start..it is growing so fast! I swear by the end of spring/early summer she'll need another cut! And, how many girls do we have that keep the shorter cut?

| I USED to keep Ginger in a puppy cut, but have been trying to let it grow. When I was keeping it short she went EVERY 4 WEEKS like clockwork.

| I always trimmed mine my self with just a scissors, a couple of times a year. then just trimmed the face and butt area as needed. It takes longer to do with a scissors, but it wasn't so short that way and I liked it better. |

| I take Georgie to the groomers to get it cut shorter every month around the 10th. It grows soooo fast, and he likes to get in his big sisters (75lb boxer) bowl (and I mean all four paws in there) and eat her food so I like to keep it shorter on him

| Loki's short all over even his face. He goes every 4-5 weeks. They always try to schedule me for 6weeks and by week 3 I'm ready to send him back. He gets a bath once a week. Even if he was long he'd still need his butt, feet, ears and face trimmed that often anyway. It's so easy to take care of - I only brush him if people are coming over and I just have to wash his face/eyes every day. After a bath I towel and blow dry in less than 10 mins.

| I keep Lily's cut short now. I did try to let it grow but she collects to much mulch and leaves in her hair to have it long. About every 6 weeks she needs to see the groomer. She also hates to be combed so long hair isn't a good idea for her.

| I keep Vivi's hair short and I cut it myself as needed...usually every 2 months with mini trims in between. I bathe her every two weeks in winter and once a week in warm weather. Her hair is not shaved but cut with scissors so it is always the length that I like...medium short.

| Lexi goes once a month 6 weeks is pushing it, then her pads get all grown out and she can't stop on the wood floors and we feel bad for her so she goes once a month.
