BAD MOMMY

[Denise, Winnie, and AngelAbby]

Poor Abby - she isn't a fan of being brushed so I had a tendency to let her have her way and left the brush in the cupboard. Well, I went to TRY to brush her out and found that she was nothing but mats!! I'm so bad!!! So I had to take the clippers to her. Grabbing one blade, it wouldn't go thru her coat. So I grab a larger number and that wouldn't go thru either. By the time I found a blade that would go thru her, she was naked!! PINK naked!! I did what I could with her face so she didn't look like a total bobble head and this is what we ended up with. She loves it actually and we have since gotten used to looking at our naked little girl. She will be brushed - whether she likes it or not!! Mommy learned her lesson. (she sure is soft tho!)

i think Abby looks very cute. Molly just got her summer cut, not quite so short, but she looks like she lost about ten pounds and is all tall and leggy. I am also very bad at brushing enough, mainly because it is not something Molly is a big fan of so I have to bribe her with treats.
Thanks for the advise on how much to feed so far it is going well, I'm also still giving her dry food so I will see if her weight changes.

Wakefield recently had to get shaved also - he doesn't mind brushing, but between bad weather, working over time and illness on my part I neglected him.He matted so badly the groomer had no choice but to take him down to pink skin. I added a picture to my page so you can see - his legs are so thin he looks like he has rickets! But at least he kept the tail plume and some length to his ears. At least it's summer time! And he is just so soft as it's growing back in.

She looks so cute....we have gone this route with Comiskey...(hates, hates, hates to be brushed)....so this is the cut we get for summer...she loves the water...so it isn't fair to have her hair longer...and yes, very soft!

My Roxy is 2 years old and I have finally found a good groomer and a good length to keep her coat! Before I got my lovely Doodle I did a LOT of research! There was so much talk about how they don't shed - but nowhere did I read how easily and much they mat! Not that it would have changed my mind! My Roxy is also very heat intolerant so keeping her fairly short and even shorter in the hot weather is very integral to her comfort - and not to mention the fact that it is much easier since she LOVES the water! She has been going to groomers since she was just small and every groomer she has been to says what a good girl she is for them - for some reason she will not let Mommy brush her - so her brush stayed in the closet too! The first time I let the mats get out of control Roxy looked very similar when I picked her up! I did not even recognize her!

Do try to save the tail hair . The large tooth steel combs should helo. then cut out what you can't unmat.

[Lisa and Summer]

She looks great and now she is ready for summer. Our doodle is 10 mo. old and she is matting faster than I can brush her. It is so frustrating. At least you kept her beautiful tail our doods tail is starting to mat so either I cut them out or the groomer will probably cut it all when she goes in about 1 mo.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Wow. That is short but she looks very cute.

[cheryl & oliver]

Abby looks like Ollie did a few weeks ago, and he is growing back now, but with the hot Florida weather here now, I think I am going to keep hime sort of short, it certainly makes it easier to take care of them...Once Ollie gets matted, forget it, he needs to be taken down like that too, so we are going to brush more and keep it shorter,,Abby you still are a sweetheart....
