| I think Bubba looks cute And yep you will get better with practice and the right tools. But honestly for this being your first time cutting his hair, you did a good job. I was expecting to see a shaved to the skin furbaby

| Thanks guys Overall I'm happy with the experience, yes the cut could be better, also could be worse but he behaved so well. He squirmed a little here and there, but for the most part he let me cut away. |

| I really don't either However, after, yes after, cutting his hair, I saw some videos on youtube and now I have at least an idea of the proper technique and tools! If nothing else, I am training him to be tolerant of being groomed We may very well show up at the groomers in a couple of months for a corrective cut but at the very least, he will be super behaved |

| I personally think you did a great job! And want to know something cool? Not only does it grow back hehe, it seems to know where to grow back more than in other places. So when I cut Baby if I chop more than usual it goes back to normal!
