Smile Scissors for grooming

Hi, I have been grooming SaraJane for a couple years now. I just have short scissors that I got from Pet Edge. What size of scissors do you use? I am thinking that my scissors are too short. I have one HECK of a time with her face, especially under her chin to neck, and her legs! I remember the groomer used a longer pair and thought it might be easier if I used longer ones? Do you mind sharing with me the length and brand that you use? Thank you very much. Sara is only 3 3/4 pounds.

I got a cd and watched it at least 20 x before starting, lol.

Like the others, I figure it was hair so it would grow back. I'm still learning but definitely glad I took the plunge. It's been a year and I think I do a pretty good job. I do take them to the vet for nails and anal glands. I've tried doing the nails and just am too afraid as I did cut one of Hot Rod's nails too short and had a heck of a time getting the bleeding to stop. since then he will fight me when I even try to look at his nails.

With Maggie, we hear her outside in the waiting area when they do her nails--no need to even attempt her.
