I think Bubba looks cute

And yep you will get better with practice and the right tools. But honestly for this being your first time cutting his hair, you did a good job. I was expecting to see a shaved to the skin furbaby

I thought she did really good for the first time, too.

Thanks guys

Overall I'm happy with the experience, yes the cut could be better, also could be worse

but he behaved so well. He squirmed a little here and there, but for the most part he let me cut away.

Great job for the first time. You get better with practice and the right tools.

Good job Momma!

I really don't either

However, after, yes after, cutting his hair, I saw some videos on youtube and now I have at least an idea of the proper technique and tools! If nothing else, I am training him to be tolerant of being groomed

We may very well show up at the groomers in a couple of months for a corrective cut

but at the very least, he will be super behaved

LOL! Love the last photo of him grimacing. Too cute

BabyFidgette · 01-23-2012, 02:21 AM

I personally think you did a great job! And want to know something cool? Not only does it grow back hehe, it seems to know where to grow back more than in other places. So when I cut Baby if I chop more than usual it goes back to normal!
