First Home Clipper Cut!!!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Some of you may remember Tara and my adventures when I attempted to scissor cut her awhile ago. The cut turned out pretty well but it took me 8 days. Yes, eight!! And that was just her body!!

Following the sage advice of my DK friends, I have since invested in a pair of Andis Clippers and combs. DH and I clipper cut Tara's body this Saturday and I trimmed her face and legs yesterday and today with scissors. This was INCREDIBLY faster!!! Much less wear and tear on both of us. AND DH did ALL of the clipper cutting part (involved a power tool!!) which was AWESOME!!

Results are mixed. Here are some photos before bath and like with the scissor cut I am counting on the curls to come back and hide the boo boos here and there!! There isn't much symmetry in her face and the ears are not even.... and on and on. BUT I think it is a good first attempt and hopefully with practice we will see some improvement. :) In the meantime I will be following her around with a pair of scissors...

Thanks to all of you who helped transition me to the clipppers!! And a special shout out for Sue of Sue, Murphy and Bella who spent a lot of time explaining the ins and outs of clipper cutting to me. :)

P.S. I don't know WHY one of my pictures ended up at the top or how to move it! :(

She looks beautiful! You did a wonderful job. I wish this was a skill I could develop. I would love to snip here and there to keep Ned and Clancy perfect, but I am scissorly challenged.
