🍂 Lola 🍂
I've been working with Lola for enough years to not need to open her file to know what I'm doing. Today, we tweaked her look a bit.
The thing with grooming senior dogs is that eventually, the haircut has to grow with their needs.
We've always done a low maintenance cut for Lo, it works well with her hair type and for her family's schedule. Short body, proportionate but fluffy face and head.
Recently, Lola has all (yes, ALL) Of her little teefies taken out. This means her lips don't have the same structure that they used to. They overlap quite a bit, and after just a few seconds from her coming in, she was constantly adjusting to get hair out of her mouth. It was clear it was time for a change 😂.
So, we took her head and face down to the same length as her body. I used a very short blade around her flew and to outline her lips so nothing will get caught in her mouth and make her uncomfortable. A couple of seconds later, I took off enough of her ear length to keep those out of her mouth, too.
Instant relief. I could see it.
It's still going to take her some time to adjust to her new mouth, but I'm glad I could help her out.
