I cut him!

[JeffandAnnie]

  First time using my Roseline scissors and I managed to cut poor little Jeff. He squeaked. I cried. I am thoroughly traumatised; Jeff forgot about it in a nano second. Jeff now has a small red bloody patch on his chest 

[Ninasmum]

Oh poor Jeff 
Strangely enough i only manage to cut myself when grooming 

Are they thinning scissors Liz? 
If they are & to avoid cutting Jeff or Annie,  keep the teeth blade's on the opposite side to their skin iyswim.

Awwww poor Jeff, dont feel bad though it is easily done and I am sure that he has forgiven you already.

[Ben's mum]

Oh its horrible isn't it - I recently caught Ben's ear when trimming him and he squeeked - I felt so bad for days, long after he had forgotton it!  The lovely thing about cockers is they soon forget, especially when given something nice to ease our guilty feelings, and they don't hold a grudge either - so don't feel too awful, I am sure we have all been there

They are very sharp especially when new. I have done a very small amount of nicks over the years to dogs but I'm like Ninasmum in that its generally me. I now keep a supply of plasters in the shed for myself.

Ouch!  Poor Jeff, Odie sends a healing kiss his way   There's a bed up here in Yorkshire if either one of them wants to escape a scissor wielding maniac
