Six Dogs

Today, Scott and I had 6 dogs at work. At first I was not quite happy about it because all of them are to be groomed, except for one which was just a chihuahua. At least, to my relief, it was nicely scheduled where I get two dogs every two hours, so I didn't feel too stress out with the timing.

The first two dogs are a grey quivering chihuahua named Elvis and a huge Bernese Mountain dog named Harley. Scott bathed the Bernese Mountain while I bathed chihuahua. Heehe. The owner of Bernese Mountain talked with me, asking if I could shave parts of it, but I told her that I rather scissor than shave. Scott and I did a lot of work brushing out. I had fun scissoring up the feathers of the front and hind legs and the tail. Trimming up the front chest part was pretty tricky. I pride myself for making him looking so handsome.

The next two dogs are a small terrier and a black labador (I don't pay attention to their names). A terrier was to be groomed completely shaved to its skin. It was not the usual #7 or #10. but with a #30 blade! It looked weird at first but actually came out quite a cute little thing. (I should have taken the pictures.) The black lab was to be shaved as well, but not quite too short. (Thank goodness.) Just shaved off enough to get any hair off... The lab have brown and blue eyes, though I do not think it's acutally blue but a big white blur as if he's blind on the one eye... While he seem to have cute fun persnoality, Pepper and Yoda decided to not like him at all. They growl at him whenever he gets too close. Oh well.

The next two dogs are a black cocker mix and a bichon. I was relief that the cocker mix aren't too bad because its fur are easy to shaved. She have pretty brown eyes. Usually cocker fur are thick and unruly. A bichon are somewhat diffcuilt where I cannot get the long blade to go through some knots. So instead I just sisscor up the legs slightly shorter, but came out not too bad. Trimming up the face in roundish shape aren't my favorite but I'm glad that its fur are not as curly and fluffy as a poodle, so I don't have to be so picky.
