Good job, Mom!! They look very professional ... the pics are gorgeous but you had great "material" to work with! I love that second picture, they don't look poised for flight or have that "going to the gallows" look that Toto does!

I also groom Toto myself and am mortified when I get to the ear tips. Toto sits still as a little mouse but my hands shake so, it's a wonder I haven't cut her leather. I find that it's quicker and the results are better if I hold the ear with one hand and a finger behind the ear and use the clippers pressing them flat against my finger ... then do the other side forming a little point on top. I then do the inside of the ear and then the back, making a little V shape [that's the way Ava told me to do it.]. Does that make sense?? I use the tiny little battery clipper to do this and it work great. I'm afraid if I try it with the big clippers my little one could forever be known as "Toto, that one eared Yorkie!"
