How sad am I?!?!?! Rio's been getting really tufty areas at the tops of her legs that are beginning to look a bit silly, I thought I'd have to trim them if they got really bad. I didn't know how hand stripping was done but thought I'd try it by pulling the tufts gently and it came out really easily. Thing is, its really addictive and poor Rio has very little fur as it is so can't do anymore for now. I'm not sure I'd love it so much if I had to do an entire show cocker though as it must really make your poor hands hurt after a while
I find it quite therapeutic and Tally just sits there and falls asleep. If you want to borrow him I'll send him down.
