This is little Timmy, he usually has a shampoo and tidy, his owner doesn't even like his ears trimmed. But today, as we are having a warm spell (hooray!) she has had him clipped short.

I'm afraid he's a bit camera shy, so I couldn't get very good photos

And .........
This scruffy looking mutt belongs to me!!
Her name is Lily and I don't trim her at all

Love's_Sophie · 06-04-2009, 09:04 PM

Awww...Timmy looks even cuter with his hair shorter!

Great grooms all! Here are 2 of my dogs from the show I just got back from this week in South Carolina. A standard, and mixed breed.

I just tried my first cat grooming..don't laugh too hard.

Love's_Sophie · 06-06-2009, 07:41 PM

Awwww...she looks like one of my black kitties

Well I have two that needed to be groomed, i gave Vega (dark standard pup) his first lamb trim and Dodger just got fluffed out and I plan on doing her lamb trim tomorrow. She finally has enough coat to work with!

Gracco: That dream coat works WONDERFUL!

These two spend most of their time in the water... so i'm always tempted to go even shorter! I live right across from a lake so it's hard to resist taking them out there. Afterall they are water dogs.

These are all great grooms, especially Lily, the non-groom, er, groom.

All these great pics -- kind of making me wish that I could be a groomer, myself.

When we first adopted her, we couldn't keep her inside long. She was not just dirty but smell so horrible.

After a few baths and a lot of brushing.

I just love all the before and afters on these dogs. Graco, I wish I lived near you, I'd let you take Dallas to one of your shows in a heartbeat. I know you would make her look AWESOME! I was thinking after my first attempt of grooming, I should take her before and after pic. And the after may look worse than the before. I open for any home grooming tips.

I did Dodger's lamb cut yesterday.

Realization of the day:

Take dog to the groomer!
They look better, smell better, and are happier!

Its been awhile, so here's a few. Poor Gus..this is after 1 1/2 years of NO professional grooming, and only a few chops of the scissors at home here and there along his back. He left a bald but VERY happy guy!

Graco22 · 08-03-2009, 10:23 PM

Here's a cute little face on Maisy, and a dale, after only..can't get the before's to upload.

I agree..broke my heart. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about this, because once they are in the salon, "taking care of it" there is nothing that can be done. And grooming needs/nails are not dealt with the same as a medical condition is..Sad because I know those matts were uncomfortable, his skin was red and irritated. At least he was feeling good when he left. Hopefully I will see him again MUCH sooner next time.
