Got clippers out ... couldnt stand it anymore!
« on: July 28, 2008, 09:47:40 PM »
Well, I did try but Molly's fur was just getting too thick and even using the Spratts comb things were not going well.  I was getting lots off her but it is not thinning out at all...she was looking really scruffy.


I got the clippers out this afternoon, and I think I have done an okay job.



Any tips?  Hope I havent done too bad a job, feel bad enough giving in to the clippers so quickly  :embarassed:

I think she looks fab! :shades: You've blended the clipping in with the feathering really well. :D

Thanks guys. I am never sure how it compares to other clipped cockers and didnt want her to be too short.  Keep thinking about taking her to the groomers to get it done just so I can see how it looks but I really wouldnt want her scalped and I would be worried that she would be freaked out!  I had to get my son to feed her tiny treats all the way through to get her relaxed  ::) :005:
