I had so much fun grooming today, I forgot to take pictures! Imagine, if you will, an adorable little black and white doodle who is a skilled sniffer. That's Chester! He also has some anxiety around grooming, so today's appointment was really a 'getting to know' you date, while I did my best to make him comfortable. He made it clear that clippers around his legs and belly are a definite "NO", but he was so good about letting my try things. I was able to scissor off a lot of the matted coat, and he'll be back in 2 weeks for another try. My favorite part? When he first arrived he was a little aloof and nervous. But, after taking a few breaks to sit together and watch Frozen while I scritched his back and chin- he ended our session by curling up on my lap and dozing. And when he left he was happy and wagging. I can't wait to see him again! PS- here is a picture of Miss Nyx, who is definitely NOT a doodle, but I think it's always better to add a picture of a cute pup whenever possible! 🙃🐶💜
