First and last time Pixie will ever go to a groomer was last December... The groomer totally did not do what I want and I'm afraid another one will do the same thing.... So I do it all myself!

I bathe her once a week and do other things as needed - pull ear hair, sanitary trim, trim nails & pad hair, etc. She was a handfull at first, but I didn't give in to her objections and now she stands there like a perfect little lady while I do what I have to.... Last weekend I even cut her hair. I took a couple inches off all around. There's one spot that's uneven, but unless you look closely for it, you really can't tell.

It usually takes an hour to and hour and a half depending on what needs to be done that day. I'd rather take the time to do it myself than pay someone $35 to NOT cut it the way I want!
