My sister, Sadie had to miss her grooming appointment because of her ear hematoma. Molly and I were groomed, so we were looking good, but poor Sadie was looking scruffy and she needed a bath. Since our groomer, Gigi was booked until after the holidays and Wen wasn’t comfortable taking Sadie to a different groomer, she decided that she would groom Sadie herself. She had groomed her Scotties and her Cocker Spaniel years ago and when COVID happened, she bought professional clippers in case our groomer had to close during the pandemic (which fortunately never happened).
Our house isn’t exactly set up for home grooming, but Wen set Sadie on a bathroom counter and went to work on her with her clippers and scissors until Sadie looked like a Scottie again and afterwards, Sadie got a nice warm bath in the kitchen sink. Her new hairdo wasn’t perfect like when Gigi does her, but Sadie looked pretty good for a home grooming and Wen discovered that if push came to shove, she could make us look decent until our next appointment.
