| Groomed them myself! I spent a good deal of sunday grooming my boys myself. I used clippers on their bodies and scissors on their faces/heads. I am by no means a professional, but I think they came out pretty ok! What do you think???

| It takes about 2 hours to do my little guy... he is soooo wiggly and hates it, he's such a baby! My big guy who is afraid of everything just sits there and lets me do it no problems, 45 mins and hes done! He has a really nice coat too, but when its long it just smells bad quickly, he pees on himself. Not on purpose, just lifting his leg.

| Great job! I am going to be doing that more and more myself. I am nervous about doing Mo's pads but other than that, I think I am ok.

| Very good. I do a lot of Mollys grooming in stages,while she is asleep..i find it easier that way,she stays still for longer! Sometimes she has to go for a walk with half her body longer fur than the other, depending on how she was sleeping when i did it! |

The key is clippers. I got some conair clippers at Rite aid, nothing good or fancy, I think they were $15, but they work wonders. I do need to scissor cut their bellies, around their privates and their faces but clippers do their whole body and the length of their legs.

| GREAT job!! The paws are TOUGH- Layla HATES me touching them- they take us so long i usually do them a different day. Also when we started grooming at home Layla hated having her face done too- she would jerk away so hard I ended up cutting myself a few times- but treats are the KEY! if she stayed still and was a good girl- right after i finished the cut she got a treat- now she just LOVES being groomed. |
