She is adorable! I want to get Barney in a short cut too, but he's also very thin so I have been reluctant to do this. However, Ava's cut turned out precious. If only they made hair extensions for dogs so I could undo it if it turned out badly
.
By the way, the vet told me I should be able to feel Barney's ribs but not see them protruding. So I would think it's fine that you can feel her ribs.
