| My First Try at Grooming!!! I tried my hand at grooming Chloe myself for the first time tonight. I have to admit that I'm actually surprised at how well it turned out. I will probably still take her to the groomer's to have her nails, feet, and bum trimmed because I'm not quite that brave. But, even though I like our groomer a lot, I don't trust myself to be able to explain what I want Chloe to look like and I'm terrified of her getting cut too short. So I just bought a pair of stylist's scissors and went to work! Chloe was amazingly well-behaved for me, although she kept wanting to sit down which made it hard to do her rear end! So, here's before and after shots!! -C

| You did a great job!! : ) I started grooming my own too because I always got mad when they never did what I said, and because with 3 it got so expensive! Anyway, she looks so pretty! You should be very proud of yourself.

| Thanks so much for all the kind words!!! It's crazy how much a little bit of a hair cut can change their looks SOOO much. My mom said the before picture of Chloe's face up close looks kinda like Ronnie Dunn from Brooks & Dunn...she's totally right!! It actually wasn't hard at all! Especially because she sat pretty good for me. I don't think I could have shaved her (clippers are difficult for me to use), but fortunately I still wanted to keep her longish. So I would just pick up a bit of hair between the first two fingers of my left hand, find the length I wanted, and then snip along the line! My fingers also made a good guide to keep me from possibly snipping skin instead of just hair. I was careful to cut only a little off at a time so I didn't accidentally go overboard with it. I figured I could always take off more length, but there was no putting it back on!! -C
