The first dog was a Shih Tzu who's matted. Needless to say, he needed to be shaved off, head to toe. He has very cute personality, but disliked to be groomed. I was so glad that Scott was with me to help out handling this wiggling dog. He never tried to bite, but would cried or screamed and wrestled with us. He actually had a piece of gum stuck on one of his paws.
The second dog was a mini-Aussie, Baxter, with brown shade of color cut coats. He's VERY "perfect". Good personality, calm, obedience, sweet, etc...! Everyone just loves him. (See the photo)
The next dog was another Shih Tzu, with a picky-type lady-owner. I've groomed her dog before and I seem to passed her expectation. However, this time her dog has patch of mats behind the ears and each side of the cheek. The top of dog's head are matted, but luckily not as bad, which can be brushed out. He is not hard to groom, comparing to the first dog. His style groom are bobbed cut ears and ponytail on the head.
The last dog was a big dog, a cocker and poodle mix (or cockapoo), which was to be shaved short but leave the top of the head and ears long. However, I started grooming that dog at 6 pm! The last Shih Tzu was suppose to come at 2 pm, but forgotten to bring him in. So both of the Shih Tzu and Cockapoo came in at 4 pm! Cockapoos was scheduled at 4 pm, who refused to be put in earlier time. -sigh- Scott and I didn't get out of work till little after 7 pm.
To help speed up the grooming, I had Scott groom the other side of Cockapoo. Because of it's curly fur coat, it won't show signs of "mess-up". He had fun with a bit of hand-on dog grooming experience beside bathing and drying and brushing out the dogs. -smile-
Long day today.
