Title: 1st trip to Groomers - would love comments on photos
Post by: Sara750S on August 15, 2011, 12:33:20 PM
As title says, Toby has had first trip to groomers and I must admit I was nervous when I left him. 2 hours later, £28 lighter, and a bath, trim of legs & feet (& bottom!), and strip of excess on back and I think he looks lovely!

I have nothing to compare so would welcome experienced eyes to look at photo just in case you think "next time ask her to do....."  or "omg next time dont let her ...."

I can see the difference,  I wasn't sure it they were all after.     He looks great  :luv:

You know the blond whiskers on the side of his face, you can probably strip those out now.   Quinn had those and I started stripping them out when he was 5 months old and they haven't come back yet.     I'm not sure how old Toby is now and whether they're ready to come out or not but just a suggestion, that is of course unless you wanted to keep them.
