Booty Pictures Please

[mimimomo]

@ grooming school, my instructor called the area under the anus, "the runway". You are NOT to shave the runway, otherwise you'll end up w/a baboon butt just like the pic lolll! I really like the tiny clippers like tid bit or peanut, it's great for trimming the hairs under the paws, around the paws, tipping ears & sanitary trims. I personally use the Wahl Arco rechargeable clippers, it's great for everything, very handy to have & super quiet. I only trim the hairs around the anus, that's where the poopies tend to hang onto if it gets too long. Like others have mentioned, my guys have firm poopies too, so we don't get dingle berries hanging from their bum too often.

My boys are in full coat, so you can't see anything unless you lift their tails and look closely.

That has got to be the most beautiful bum shot I've ever seen!

Cute, cute, cute!

^^Thank you Jenny! My messy boys had their tails forward because they were stalking some sort of prey in the yard.

Here's Lexie's bootie! I keep her tail short--it's such a cute lil nub. She just went to the groomer yesterday, so you can see the way she has her privates trimmed. I believe she is scissored in that area carefully. It's challenging cuz of her curls. But her butt stays clean except for the rare dingleberry or soft poo. Babywipes are great.

THAT'S where you made your mistake....you ASKED HIM I'll bet he wouldn't have even noticed you'd used them as long as you cleaned any loose fur off them afterwards

What Beautiful coats they have.

[MomtoJasper]

I don't do anything to Jasper's. When I brush him, which is 3-4 times a day, I make sure its parted in the middle. So, have half the hair goes behind the left leg and the other half goes behind the right. Thank goodness his natural pooping area has no issues and doesn't need trimming or anything.

Lol! ^^^^ imagine she would have gotten caught?? Haha.

[YorkOfTheShire]

Thank you for the responses thus far, and thank you for the pics! Lap's helps because it sort of looks like I might imagine Maximo's description, even though I'm horrible at doing things in my head.

...I wouldn't have gotten caught, but my hubby is very particular about where he puts all his stuff and he would have said "did you move my mustache trimmer?" and that's when I would have said "yes" and he would have said "why?" and I would have said "to shave Gypsy's butt". -_-
