I LOVE his beautiful little plume-y tail!!! As long as I have been "shearing" mine, they still occasionally end up looking like they have ring worm, but we dont care, we are strictly in this for the comfort zone! |
Thank You! Yes, his tail is definitely hands off! LOL He lays that thing down on his back some how! LOL Like a woman with a decorative neck scarf.
it looks pretty cool to me also!
I figure if I feel I have to cut in the Fall, I'll use a longer guard. Gotta have him plumed up and warm for some Fall or Winter camping/fishing.
Has anyone ever heard of cutting too short and thereby damaging the follicles in some way? Robyn tossed that one at me, I haven't looked into it yet. I left plenty using the 1/4" guard thinking that if hell freezes over and the sun here would actually be out long enough to give him a sunburn, that the 1/4" would be sufficient to block it.
A sunburn, here, in the Spring, just isn't going to happen! LOL
I really hope Zippy likes the water! He only went to mid torso in the lake sorta chasing ducks then stopped a few weeks back... He didn't seem too perturbed by it but it is cold right now.
