| Aww Cooper looks so happy. I started doing Lola's summer haircut, it's half done so one half is shortish and the other is floor length lol. I'm going to finish the other half in a little bit, make adjustments tommorrow, and trim her face another day. |

| I cut Zippy's hair, whole body leaving head(trimmed by hand) and tail(left full), 1/4" guard about a month ago... it's really grown back in quite a bit. When I originally cut it, I had planned to use a 1/2" guard next time.... but seeing how fast it's grown, it'll be the 1/4 inch again relatively soon. |

| That's how I did it, spread it out over days, gave him and me a break from figuring it out and the squirming. There just isn't any rush that way. |

| I'm not familiar with all the cuts, but does anyone do a closer leg, short skirt and short face? (That sounds a little skeevy when I read it back, but y'all know what I mean!) I like to keep Joni's legs clipped shorter so she doesn't sweep up grass/leaves and resulting tangles. |

I started grooming Lola myself because I wasn't happy with the groomers attitude or the haircut and at $70 that's completely not acceptable. I'd rather mess her hair up myself and buy a buddy belt with the money. I also don't have to worry about her being mistreated or exposed to germs. Quote:
Yeah it's much better to spread it out for both of us. It takes 5-7 days to do a full groom. Also if something doesn't look right it's better to just walk away and fix it later or you'll get fried and end up with a bald yorkie. That's why I do a rough cut and fix it another day. | ||

I am conflicted like you: love the look of a full coat (and Deuce has a gorgeous coat), but short hairstyles are so much easier and they are so cute! Wish I could have it both ways.

| Here is the latest of Max's big beard cut (Capt Noonie/Priscilla isn't talking to me, nor is my dad .): max beard 1.jpg max beard 2.jpg Max hasn't gotten accustomed to his shorter beard although it has been nearly 3 weeks. The hard part about doing a shorter head with a full body is the dividing line where the beard meets the chest. I keep snipping and snipping and still end up with some longer hair where the two meet (doesn't help that my subject won't hold still ): max beard 3.jpg

| ^^ I should add that I do not try to cut when Max's hair is that messy. He had just had lunch when I snapped the pics.

| Aww Max looks cute, what do you mean he isn't accustomed to it yet? I'm still trying to get Lola done, I need to do one leg, some blending/adjusting, and her ears. Yesterday I accidently poked her with the scissors, she screamed, (no injury and the scissors aren't pointy) and now she freaks out when I try to cut her hair. She's fine when I brush or comb her hair but freaks out when she sees the scissors. I got her to let me brush her and cut a few odd hairs, but I can't finish her leg and I'm not even gonna try her ears. |

Max doesn't like how his short beard gets wet in the water bowl. We use a glass custard bowl and his longer facial furnishings used to drape perfectly outside the bowl. If he is running or playing, he is fine. But when he is just walking around, he looks self conscious. Hard to explain. I think I know how he is feeling because I often let my hair grow long and then have it cut into a chin length bob. Feels weird for awhile.

| Aww poor Max, maybe elevating the bowl would help? I poked her body with the scissors while trying to cut her leg hair, I don't think I really hurt her. She'll scream and jump if I step on her hair. I don't tip her ears, all the hair is left at least an inch long so I don't have to get too close. |

Unfortunately I do not think elevating the water bowl for Max will help. A narrower bowl is the only possibility, but the ones we use are already so tiny.
