What's with April the Fur-10th!

What's up everyone? Nothing much going on here in the Fuzzy land. Except, that Momma tried these grooming tools that she bought from ebay and petsmart. She wants to learn to groom us by herself and we had no problem about it. It will save her money and she can do it anytime we need it. Going to a professional groomer can cost her $130.00 more or so! Imagine that! So she figured that by buying the right tool and with more practice she will eventually learn how to groom us by herself.

Anyway, Mom invested on Andis ultra edge animal clipper, Oster snap on guard combs, nice pair of scissors and she's off to go. She first worked on me using 1/4" guard comb. It did not took so long for her to finish on me. Just a little trim on my hair for the most part as my hair was not as tangled as Sunny! So that's a good thing.

As for Sunny's part. Mom had no choice but to really make it short using 1/8" guard comb and for the tummy and chest part which is completely shaved. He's hair was all matted from rough playing. The trickiest part is how to work on our tummy and chest part. Other than that, its pretty much all about patience, patience and more patience. (wink!)

Overall, she did a good job considering that she never had a grooming lesson except from watching video's online and from a pro that she emailed with to ask questions on what particular grooming items to buy.

I only have one advice for Momm... perhaps, your next investment would be for a Pet Grooming table??? Attention, Dada! :)

Our lady tried to groom us, but we both wiggled too much and she ended up shaving off a lot more hair than she wanted....
