Newbie and First grooming!!
Posted 10-15-2008 at 07:04 AM by MY BELLA MIA
Hi all! I actually joined about a month ago but this is my first post. I brought my baby home at the beginning of February. She is 9 1/2 months old. Today she had her first grooming. Unfortunately, she had a lot of mats. It's not because I didn't try to brush her . But she is not crazy about it. Anyway to make a long story short, after a couple of conversations over the day with the groomer, she suggested we just shave her. She tried throughout the day to get the mats out but my poor Bella had had enough.
I really like this woman. First of all they don't crate the dogs, and if there's alot of work to be done, as in Bella's case, they do it in 15 minute segments, so as not to overstress the dog. In between they let them run around and play with the other dogs. She really looks good! It's not down to the skin and she feels so smooth and silky!! I swear, I am not going to let her get like that again. Poor Baby! I'm going to comb/brush her every day whether she likes it or not. When I load pictures up, I'll post them.
I hope this isn't too long.:animal

 |  Newbie! Haven is my whole world- and I had to shave her too!Hello Bella Mia!  I have to tell you that my seven month old Haven got into a prickley weed that left her with little seeds in her hair that were not coming out! She was very unhappy as I attempted to pull them out one by one~ so I shaved her! All is well since my husband loves the "puppy cut" look and she runs around as though we have freed her! |
