Hi Steve and Sassy, sounds like you two are very happy together.
I have been grooming my 2 for about a hear now. It was going to be too expensive to get 2 done. I got a cd and basically watched a couple of hundred times before I attempted. And when I finally did, I kept telling myself..."it will grow back, it will grow back", lol
I didn't like the length of time either...sometimes I was able to get it down to 4 hours but even that seem like a very long time. They did a great job as they let Hot Rod rest between procedures, but I just wasn't too keen on him being there for that long or longer. Can't wait to see picks of Sassy.
