[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2254363, member: 41816"] Yesterday was an adventure. Alongside dog walking, gardening and eating, I decided to trim the mutts. Groomer not available due to lockdown. grooming Shih tzus is a highly skilled business. I am not skilled. Fortunately, whatever I do will either grow back, or heal. This is the sister (same litter) of one of mine, in full show coat. [ATTACH=full]40778[/ATTACH] That will NEVER happen to mine! Lol This is my Mutt No2 (an old pic, but gives you an idea) shows her just before the groomer usually picks up the clippers. Coat v full, bouffant, and prone to dreadlocks in the knickers. Only 1.5 inches length, but long enough to need daily brushing or the matts multiply exponentially. [ATTACH=full]40779[/ATTACH] :nailbiting::nailbiting::nailbiting: Stage 1: Oh the horror! The blond is Mutt 1. He is next on the Crew Cut List. [ATTACH=full]40780[/ATTACH] Stage 2 was discovering that my feeble cordless human grade hair clippers are USELESS in the face of Shih tzu fluff. Apparently, these beasts can have up to 15 hairs growing out of each follicle, compared with our wimpy single human hair. Clippers wouldn’t even do a single pass. Stage 3 was finding my good scissors. Stage 4 was procrastinating. Stage 5 was trimming her chest and forelegs. Badly. Stage 6 was calling a halt before I lost the plot. Stage 7 was a large treat for her, and disposing of 2 double handfuls of shorn fluff (before the puppy could finish eating it :rolleyes:). Yes, that is 2 double handfuls from just 1/4 of her. I think I could stuff an entire sofa from the fluff off a single small dog. Stage 8 was vacuuming the patio, the kitchen, me, and the hall. Stage 9 was a large drink. Only booze in house an old bottle of Cinzano. It did the job. Stage 10 will commence later today. Am thinking back legs and bikini area. With tail on Monday, and back and sides sometime in the Autumn. Dear Groomer, you offer a vital service. Please re-open. We can call it a health appt. for the mutts' physical health, and my mental health. [/QUOTE]
