They cut his tail hair SO short....and he used to have gorgeous long tail hair! I'm crushed! And his face is a little here-and-there.....a little short in places and obviously untouched in others. I did carefully explain to her what I wanted around his nose/eye area - and she didn't follow my directions about that AT ALL!
But, all in all, he looks pretty good. It's a learning process.... Sully is so soft now and he smells just wonderful!
(I tried so hard to find the "dos and dont's" thread about grooming but finally gave up, grrrr, I was planning to print that out and take it with me!) |
I printed out the dos and do not's for Maggie's groomer. I told her it was not to offend her, but there were so many questions to ask--that I just wrote everything down. She did tell me that she does not like to keep puppies on the grooming table too long. She said, they can't handle being messed with that long. When I picked Maggie up, she looked pretty much like Sully. Trimmed up, and smelling very nice. She recommended that I have her groomed every 6 weeks. She said the more I have her groomed while she is young, the easier it will be when she is an adult. She told me that some adult Yorkies, that have never been to a groomer---are pretty snappy. I for sure don't want Maggie to be snappy.
