I love the teddy bear donut muzzle! I learned this from top groomer's pet styles, and have been excited to find some furry faces to style this way. What do you think? It makes them extra cute, yes?
Abby came to me because her sister, who usually grooms her, got busy with school and didn't have the time anymore. Understandable, and that's what I'm here for!
She had gotten quite matted and long, so I cut a bunch of the coat away before the bath, which is where you see her in the top picture. All those clumpy curls are mats.
In the bath I gently worked the shampoo through all the tangles, and brushed the cream rinse through to continue to loosen the works.

Using the high velocity dryer (the orange one on the floor) helps to break up the mats even further. 'Puppy' decided to help with the hand held dryer too.
By working the mats a little bit at a time the whole way through, I was able to save a nice length and give Abby a really cute style.
Puppy has always been good at helping. Sometimes it is sweet and nice, like helping with Abby, sometimes I could live with a little less of his 'help'!

I have been making stylized collars for the dogs for a while, and have a sewing station set up in our craft/computer room. Well, 'Puppy' got to use scissors for the first time at craft in preschool the other day, and I guess he decided to use his new skill to help with the collars. EEk! Oh, dear. Well, good thing I'm moving on from this pattern and doing Christmas collars now!
All his helping is tiresome work though, so what does a 'Puppy'/Groomer's helper do when he gets sleepy?

Well, go lie down for a nap in the dog's 'bed' of course!!
