It was just that we were outside anyway while she was doing her business, and had a little straggler that didn't fall off. Thats all. |
I understand the heat - we have a heatwave in the northeast as well!
My Lucy had some poo snagged on her bum this a.m. too. I put her in the sink & rinsed it out. Then I took a little Yorkie shampoo and washed that area. Finally, I took my short, round tip scissors (that are really for around her feet and pads) and trimmed a little bit.
I'm going back with the clippers tonight. I've never done it, but I'll look for some instructional videos on Youtube. Can anybody tell me which comb attachment I should use? I have a
Wahl ARCO clipper - I think a user CD came with it too.
Any insight would be helpful!!
Thanks. Tracey
