Mama did what to my hair?!?

Great job! I am also afraid to leave Ahi where I can't see and watch her. I love her coloring.

I want Joey to think of grooming like a spa day not a trip to the dentist. Have you learned to do the nails yet? I did it for a while, but I hurt him once, and I haven't been able to do it again. Joey's breeder told me to hold the nail firmly when I'm clipping, because the wiggling of the nail is what causes the pain and to just take tiny bits at a time, but I still hurt him. So now I go to her and in between the vet does it. I feel so stupid that I can't do this

I am def an overprotective mommy, i just could do the groomer....I'm pathetic! lol. Pita has gotten worse and worse with the nail clipping, she has def caught on. I have even tried one of those pedipaws, she squirms and wiggles and barks at me and nibbles at my hands....TWO of us cannot do anymore. I used to be able to clip her nails with large clippers toenail clippers, not anymore. I will have to bring her to the vet on friday to have them do it!

You guys are too sweet!!!! I worked on her a little more tonight and her face looks really good! I will post some pics of her under the Christmas tree tomorrow. It's amazing how relieved I feel now that I don't have to bring her to the groomers....eek!

You did a great job on Pita. Each time you do it it will get better. And anyway - the hair will grow. I will not leave Deuce either so I do the grooming except for the nails, but I'm slowly getting up the nerve to do it. I would recommend that you get some good blending shears. They can cover up mistakes and makes the hair look less choppy. My last haircut on Deuce was a bit aggressive (he was going to have surgery) but in a month he will look fine. I find doing the grooming relaxing and he likes it too. Good luck - relax - and enjoy!!!!

Pita is so cute!! You did a great job

[kristalblue74]

She looks great! (Although I think she'd look adorable in any cut!)

Pita looks adorable. Great job mom!

Pita's always a stunner! She's got such a beautiful coat.
I think you did a lovely job, and though I don't know anything about grooming except it's hard work, practice does make perfect, so your skills will just get better and better with time! :-D

I didn't get to her ears and I have some touching up to do, but here she is practically bald and PROUD

Lovely...Lucky999

i love her long hair on the ears.
i can't ever let maci's grow out because her ears flop.
i love them floppy though too, haha.
