| Well I Finally Did It....... Hello I Just Had To Tell Someone - Today I Plucked Up The Courage And Trimmed, Bathed And Did The Dreaded Nail Clipping....... Harvey Did Not Like To Be Trimmed At All (i Have Done Him A Little Before - Around His Eyes, Feet And Bottom) - But This Time He Needed A Real Good Tidy Up. I Think I Did A Good Job, He Looks Much Better, But Now Seems So Small Again, Like A Tiny Puppy. He Is 11 Months Old Now And Weighs 3.5 Lb. The Bath Was Not Too Bad - Cant Say He Likes It, But He Behaves Himself Well. The Nails - I Was Dreading Doing Them, But He Was No Trouble At All - He Just Sat In My Arms And I Clipped Them One By One And He Was Really Really Good About It. I Just Took The Very End Off And Will Do It Now Every 2 Weeks, They Are Not Too Long But I Want To Keep Them Trimmed. Cant Believe He Didnt Carry On, And Cry - I Was So Expecting It From Him. Afterwards He Would Not Let Me Dry Him With The Hairdryer - I Just Towel Dried Him - And He Was Soon Dry. He Had His Tea And Slept For A Few Hours - Sooooooo Tired From His Ordeal - Bless Him... I Will Take Some Pictures Tomorrow And Post Them Soon.....

| Hello Sorry To Confuse You - Over Here We Call Tea - Food, Or Dinner That Is Given At 4,5,or 6 O'clock. Not Literally A Drink. I Will Have To Try To Remember To Avoid The Strange Sayings We Have In The Future.

| Good job, Mom!! Just keep doing the grooming and your little Harvey will become so used to you doing it he will want noone else! It's also a wonderful bonding experience for the two of you. Looking forward to seeing the pics!!

| I Only Really Decided On Grooming Him Myself Because I Cant Face The Idea Of Leaving Him Anywhere To Be Done Professionally. The Places I Have Enquired At, Dont Think It A Good Idea For Me To Stay - They Say It Will Make Harvey More Upset If I Stay, So They Dont Allow It. So I Will Just Have To Get Better At Doing Him Myself.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Aren't you lucky !! Mine act like it's Chinese water torture when they just SEE the nail clippers - and after that - they're going to the guillotine ......Very good job and can Harvey come have a little talk with my girls and tell them nail clipping does NOT hurt ??? |

| That Is Exactly Like I Expected Him To Behave - I Was Very Surprised - Thought You Would Have Heard His Cries All The Way Over In The USA.......... I Will Have A Chat With Him Tomorrow When He Wakes Up, About Spreading The Word - That It Really Really Really Does Not Hurt At All Having Your Nails Trimmed!!

| I trimmed up Hoku and Kalani and gave them both baths this morning also They weren't thrilled but didn't fight me so I'm hoping I can get better at it and do it myself. I hate the thought of leaving them at the groomers for hours at a time
