And
Thank you for the tip
Henry hates brushing his hair so it will be easier to shorten it for me .. And since it's no big deal in winter then I might go ahead and shorten the body
Thank you for your replay

Practice makes perfect!
Just do a search for keywords like: yorkie grooming, puppy cut, etc.. on youtube and you'll see a lot of good videos. I believe there's also a post with instructions on how to cut here somewhere...
While you're watching videos, I suggest you get your furrie familiarized with the tools like the clipper, scissor, etc.. If he's food driven, have treats handy while you're touching him with the tools and pretending to use them.
Not sure what grooming tools you have but there's couple I'd like to recommend if you don't mind.
Maden Brush
Face/mustache comb
I got both of these from
http://www.toplinepet.com Mimimomo who's a member here is the owner and she VERY knowledgeable with grooming.
Nails... I use a grinder b/c I'm scared I might cut their quick but when I'm feeling brave, I use the scissor type which you can also get from toplinepet.
(If you haven't already, be sure to check out the First Aid Kit post. There are quite a few items on there that can save your furrie's life in case of emergency.)
Sorry for the long post. I hope there were some helpful info in here somewhere. LOL
