All set and ready to go!
« on: April 11, 2007, 10:33:09 AM »
The rest of my grooming equipment has turned up today!  :D Can't wait to give it all a go! Many thanks to Louise at Jayzander for her help, guidance and recommendations! Would show you a pic of Chloe before I tackle her but we've been out on the park for an hour this morning and she's wet through!  :005: Think it will be bath time later and then time to get trimming later!

Here is a picture of her before Louise got the clippers to her snout! Very hairy lady!  :005:

PS Please excuse the obvious decorating requirement behind the table!  :005:

LOL! Thanks guys! She's had her shower and I dried her whilst she was on the table which helped! She's not a fan of the hair dryer poor thing! Just having a breather now for lunch! I'm busy watching my grooming DVD at the same time!  :005:

PS Sorry were the pics a bit big?  :o I always use Photobucket and shrink them before that as well!  :o

Looking forward to seeing the after pictures - I've been having a go myself (DIY grooming) and fellow COLers always available for comment.

Thank you!  :D Letting her have a bit of a break whilst I get some other stuff done as I don't think she's particularly happy with me just now! I refused to share my chicken sandwich with her!  :005: Told her she could have some if she's a good girl whilst I do the grooming!  :lol:

LOL! It cost me enough Jules!  :005: But then I did have to have the clogs as well to protect my feet!  :shades: I bought the DVD, spratz comb, Coat King and Crufts Brush ages ago! Well over £300 worth of gear there altogether!  :o So if anybody locally wants to hire any of the equipment...  :005:

Good luck. I too have decided to groom my dog myself... though being an American Cocker it is even more fun than you'll have with your English  :shades:  :lol: It feels strange at first, but you'll both get used to it quickly.

Ruby is welcome to drop by any time!  :005: Wait until I've shown you the pics first though! I've not done a great deal today, just going at it slowly! Think I took a bit too much off with the thinners in one place as well!  :o Also think I caught her by accident but there's no blood and she doesn't seem to bothered!  :luv: She now smells lovely and looks incredibly shiny!

After clinging on to the table!  :005:



Cheeky!
