So today is the much anticipated☮ grooming day!!!!!!! And what does that mean, not much but pulling out the old groomer kit and giving it a whirl☮. I in no way think I am a pro at this, but I intend to make it a continuous learning experience, lucky for me my customer can’t complain. It is still freezing winter outside so we decided to turn our family room coffee table into the groomer room, equipped☮ with a table cloth and plastic sheet!If you can spare a minute Please watch the video, as it was quite cute to make and you can see some of Kirby’s true little characteristics come out (running to the sofa as soon as he had the chance! lol)

Wow, you’re looking great, Kirby. Your person did a brilliant job on you
Half a pound lighter!
for sure!!!!!
We LOVED the video! You were SO brave, K.! And your mom is brave, too using that hair cutter thing to trim you up. You look GREAT with that homegrown haircut. Neat and tidy without being fussy. Perfect!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Now we can see your pretty eyes again! Mom says I need to take a trip to the spa soon…not so excited about it, but it must be done!
We had to read this because mom is a Trekkie. We all have short hair. Your mom is a good hairstylist you look great

You look great, Kirby – now I can see your beautiful eyes ;o)
The video won’t load for me . . . but the pictures are great. I loved when my previous dogs came back all pretty and looking like puppies. You did a great job. I was never brave enough to do it myself. Have a great day.
Hey look, it’s Kirby’s eyes.
Kirby…looking mighty handsome after your groom! As my mom would say, “Oh! Now I see you!” (because she can finally see your eyes).
Kirby, you have to put up a little more fight. You start protesting and she’ll give you a treat to calm you down. A couple of minutes later, start protesting again. You have to learn the scam.
That’s great that you are doing the grooming by yourself, saves you a lot of money. I do all the grooming and nails here, but none of my dogs coats involve clipping, just brushing. Kirby was so calm in the video, that’s awesome that he doesn’t mind getting groomed. Makes the job that much easier.
Ah, Kirby your new haircut looks awesome! Happy Saturday.
Kirby looks great, you did a good job! Looked like he was loving it while you groomed his chest!
I think he looks great! Loved your video! Andis is a great brand of clippers and I would recommend them. And Kirby is so well behaved during his grooming session! He looks a little squirmy at first, but then again he’s a puppy. He’s gonna be so good when he’s older!
Kirby is so patient! When he was on his back he looked like he was going to fall asleep to the sound of the clipper. Cricket would have bitten off at least two of my fingers by then. Good job!
hee hee yea even I was surprised it usually is more of a battle!
Kirby, you look sooo cute!
WOW! It looms like you have a puppy starter kit beside you!
You both are so darn cute. “What’s going on back there?” cracked me up. Kirby really looked relaxed when he was getting the tummy shave too. I like the Before picture, Kirby looks like a rock-n-roll dude…HA. Good job Lea, also liked that relaxing music, I felt like I was at the spa.
Now that was a real work of art! You look wonderful Kirby and it was very brave of you to let Lea loose on you like that!!
Wowzer’z dat sure iz some fur’z…You’z look’z stuning’z
I can’t see’z the video, it’z sumink my end 
will’z try’z later xx00xx

Mollie you must promise me when you are able to see videos again you check this one out because I think you’ll get a kick out of it!
He looks cute! I am glad we have dogs that don’t need clipping though. We had a golden before the chessies and I used to have to take him for grooming every three months because I could not get his feet clipped correctly no matter how I tried.
yes, having to groom is definetly a downside, but sometimes it can be fun as a bonding experience between us too, it also helps that he is so small. Now people with OES, I have no idea how long that takes!
Half the size.
You can now stuff pillow with it.
that is where I was going with it. Maybe if I collect enough I can start my own pillow stuffing buisness slogan “stuffed with man’s best friend…really!”
Kirby, you are a champ!! Unfortunately, Sage has ALWAYS hated to be groomed, no matter what I do. I made her watch your adorable video, but she said she’d still have a fit if I touched her with something like that.
Loved it! You guys are adorable!
thanks girl!
Kirbster Dood! You are so good to your mom…letting her do all that to you and not fussing *highpaws* Lea, I liked Kirby scruffy, but then I like Gizmo scruffy and would be scared to try using those clippers on him…He’d probably end up hairless
You can come groom Gizmo anytime
yea I also like the scruffy look too, but it gets so hard to manage, he’s never going to be one of those maltese’s whose hair is like like a silky sheet onto the floor, I think Gizmo looks adorable scruffy aswell.
Wow Kirby you are no longer a shaggy dog, but a fluffy white woofer
xxx
Lookin’ good Kirby!
You look so handsome, Kirby! You’re mom gave you a great haircut! And you were such a good pup too

Nose kissez fum Nylablue & 2 thumbz up frum Sherri-Ellen.
This was really the best he ever has behaved!
Hi Lea: I am so glad Kirby is settling down a bit…I know how hard it is to groom a bouncing dog, lol!!! (Or a bouncing cat for that matter!)
You are so blessed to have Kirby!!! He makes me want to have a small dog too, lol…
