I shaved my babies, please make me feel better : ( - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi everyone, just a bit ago I shaved Trixie and Paisley. I was about to do Pia but I got too tired. Trixie had so many knots from wearing clothes and Paisley I've been wanting to shave to help get rid of the puppy fuzz. Plus I wanted to cut off the black hair also since her new hair is so much lighter. Anyways, Paisley was her monster self when trying to groom her. She wouldn't hold still at all and going near her head was a nightmare. Trixie wasn't bad but boy does she have super thick hair. I thought I was going to be there forever. Now I feel so bad for what I've done. I'm not good at this stuff and I feel like they hate me.

Here's a few pics of them, please be nice, LOL!!!

The first three are Trixie and then the last one is Paisley. Sorry I can never get Paisley to hold still very long.

Dina_Nichole · 08-18-2007, 05:27 PM

Here is Paisley again and the last one she's going after Pia. I hope its not because Pia still has long hair.

Well, there they are and I still feel bad.

i think you did a great job!! Layla was shaved last winter too! i felt bad for her but i think she got used to it and she was SO soft

ChestersMom · 08-18-2007, 05:29 PM

Hey, if you lived closer, I'd bring my three over for you to do! Remember, the only difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is three weeks!

I think they look precious. I was going to shave Murfee today but was too lazy to get off my butt....maybe tomorrow.

Dartprincess · 08-18-2007, 05:30 PM

You better get warm clothes for the winter its on the way.

ARCHIE · 08-18-2007, 05:31 PM

You done good girl! Today must be the day for us beginners.
I groomed Bud too and was scared to death. Doing one was
bad enough and you have two to do. With all that practice
you'll be top notch in no time.

flgurl69 · 08-18-2007, 05:42 PM

Don't feel bad.

I think your babies look fine. The first time I groomed Chloe (a maltichon) I felt so guilty. I felt like I had butchered her. She fought me when I tried to use clippers around her face so I had to scissor her face and feet. Afterwards I swear she looked at me like I had humilated her and acted funny. Anyway she was quickly back to her usual lively self. I will groom her myself again in the future.

Their hair will eventually grow back and with practice you'll get better and they will get used to you grooming them. Even if you skip a trip or two to the groomers & do it yourself, you will save a good chunk of money.

mizzwanned · 08-18-2007, 05:56 PM

oh gosh girl, they still look cute!! Trixie looks adorable and omg Paisley is soo light! Her hair is a completely different color, she looks so cute! I know what you mean about her looking so skinny, i cut all of Teddy's body hair off like a month ago cause he had soooooo many knots i couldn't even get them out and he looked so skinny after the cut...everyone was saying it and thinking i dont feed him. When he had all the hair ppl were saying he looked fat

lol but now it's growing back. Are you going to let it grow out again? Ohhhh and please don't cut Pia's hair! LOL

I think you did a good job ... I would hire you.

You and Carol (Archie, Buddy's mom) have been adventurous this weekend ... all I did was give the girls a bath.

I wish I had the nerve to try it ... I could save serious money here ....

My2Furbabies · 08-18-2007, 06:04 PM

I think you did a great job!

Your babies are still as gorgeous as ever! I bet they are super soft too!

sweetr72 · 08-18-2007, 06:04 PM

I think they look DARLING!!

RoxyJosMom · 08-18-2007, 06:05 PM

Boy, they don't look any too thrilled about it, do they

. I think they look adorable! You did a great job. I've got all I can do to just wipe Roxy's eyes. Forget about trimming. She is growing out the first butcher job we did trying to get out mats. We did take 1 pound of fur off our cat, tho

. Your babies look so sweet. You should be proud.

Betty'sMom · 08-18-2007, 06:36 PM

I love their haircuts! I didn't realize how light Paisley's hair was. Wow, it's pretty! I'm nervous about you cutting Pia's hair!!

It's too nice to mess with!!

trini&coco · 08-18-2007, 06:38 PM

I did the same thing to all of mine about 1 1/2 weeks ago and they seem so much happier. Shay and Gracies hair were both down to the ground but had mats underneath from clothes and playing. I love it!!! I think you did a great job. I did mine a lot shorter than yours and by scissors. May I ask what kind of clippers you used? I need a good pair because I am definately going to keep their bodies short from now on...
