Mohawk

Sorry I've been so slow to post. We've been super busy, the spring rush has begun and I've a bum knee that keeps me in constant pain, torn meniscus I think. I know this looks off center but the dogs cowlick is not symetrical. I tried to talk the owner out of this but whatta ya gonna do?

Hello Pussycat.....whoa whoa whoa....

I by know means try to pass myself off as a great cat groomer. I can do one if I have to but really prefer not to. Persians are a different animal from other cats, so docile and dog like. This was one of those, a very good cat. He was very hairy no matts, owner brushes but wanted some of the hair off but "not shaved". I usually tell owners its all or nothing and shave them with a 10 blade. I groom this clients dogs as well so I attempted to make her happy. I washed and dried this cat and then clipped him with a #1 steel comb. She was very happy. Next timeI do him I think I will try using my clipper vac. I welcome all critisism and suggestions from those of you who excel at cat grooming. The owner was very happy by the way.

"Majick" a rescue poodle

This is Majick. He was grown way out and as usual I did not have as much time to finish him as I would have liked. Owners request was "lots of hair, I like him really hairy and fluffy". I like a big topknot on a poodle myself. When I groomed him I knew the topknot was big but I thought it really suited him. After looking at the video I feel differently. It definitely needs a bit more scissoring. I cant wait to re groom him in six weeks. When she first brought him to me fresh out of rescue I didn't give him much thought. There was nothing special about him. I think he is a very pretty dog now and has a very nice coat. It's amazing what a great home, lots of love and a good diet can do.

Cocker?

This one of those cockers that defys me. Owner wants a cocker cut but the way his hair grows.... is not really correct for the breed. I did this dog with a #2 comb rather than a 7f. I thought it came out fairly well. The owner was very happy.









AFTER

Color and St. Patrick

Here is my first attempt at coloring my dog (any dog). This was done with sidewalk chalk and Blopens for the shamrocks. Next time I will use something else. I think I will add some more stenciling and color to her head before the BIG day rolls around.
