I learned how to take care of Bailey myself. We only let his hair grow out for winter, but otherwise keep him somewhat on the short side. I have learned to do pretty much everything myself partly because I am frugal, but moreso because I know I will take every precaution to love and care for Bailey during the process and he trusts me. He is so good...... he is perfectly still while I do scissor cuts. I expressed his stinky butt, (yuck) but not that bad, every couple of months then bathe him immediately afterwards.
He gets a bath every couple of weeks in the tub with one of those detachable shower spray heads then blow dry and nails clipped, not too short.
Anyway, I enjoy doing it and he is a perfect "customer".
Love from Samc and Bailey
