Bella's first big girl haircut.

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Could she be any cuter? I groomed her today for the first time and she was awesome. Stayed standing on the table for about an hour, and held so still. Such a pleasure compared to Murphy who won't stand up for more than a few minutes at a time. I just think she loves being primped.  I scissor cut as she is so thick and I wanted to leave about 2 inches. Her feet are nice and round and full although you cant tell here. All in all it was a great first time.

Beautiful!  I love this trim, she looks fantastic.

[Camilla and Darwin]

She looks amazing!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Thank you. It was windy so her ears were fly awayish, but you get the picture. Can you tell she found the fresh grass clippings right after I bathed her?

[Joy Williams]

Sue, she is entirely toooo cute!! At least she found the grass clippings and not a mud puddle which is where my two would have headed for!! And you did a wonderful job grooming her!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Thanks Joy, She would certainly find mud if there was any to be had. We don't get much rain and certainly no snow to melt so she gets grass stains and dusty most of the time.

[Ginny Nightingale]

Very nice--you did the whole thing in an hour with scissors?? That is FAST! Takes me forever!

[Ann Kurtzman]

takes me forever too!

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Fantastic job. She looks just darling.

[Dori & Rua]

OMD!  She is ADORABLE.  You did a great job.  I would love to be able to groom Rua eventually.  She is small so it wouldn't take too long and she is getting pretty good at just standing there while I brush her.  You mentioned you left her at 2"...her legs, too?  Or longer?  I have seen alot that do shorter on the body and a bit longer on the legs.  For example, 2" body and 3" legs.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

She looks great. You should go into business.

[Jodi and Stella]

Great job!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

 

Thank you all. It didn't take much more than an hour but like I said she held very still.  I left the legs longer but not by much as she has very stocky thick legs and feet.   I did her sanitary cut with clippers though,  I had just done Murphy last week, but he is a bit more time consuming as I keep him short and  his hair isn't as forgiving if I make mistakes.  But I have been doing him for 2 years now.

I love having that time with them and Bella proved to be a real treat to groom, so I will look forward to always doing her.
