I got my scissors and took a whack at trimming, but not too much. I asked her groomer to bath, brush and shave only so I can try my hand at the fun stuff. It is harder than I thought, but my new scissors work well. Before I do anything bigger I have some questions.
I cut straight down her legs to her bracelets to try for a more chest hair look. Bonnie looks leggy when completely shaved down, but with hair hanging down everywhere, she can look stumpy. Do I start the straight down angle at the very top of her leg? Should I cut the hair on the front of her legs even shorter?
Her neck hair is long, curly and thick, which is making her neck look bully. I assume I trim down on the sides and front leaving the back of the neck and blend it to the chest at the bottom of her neck. I wanted to check here before I have at it because I need to trim her neck hair a LOT.
On her topknot I am trying to get it rounded, coming forward over her eyes. I think this looks pretty good, although it needs to grow forward more. What do you think? It was cut straight up from her eyes a while ago-like a box. Does she need more at the back of her head?
I was trimming on her rear and forgot to make a little shelf there (duh). I tried to make one, but I got it wrong (it's too short, right?). I still have hair to work. Where does the angle begin? I know it ends at the pin bone. Also, I want to cut it short above her tail, but haven’t done it yet so it is pretty fluffy up there. AND, I cut a straight line down her leg, but would like to cut it close to the shape of her leg since you can't see the bend.
I am going to work on her bracelets (they're a mess(, but since I don’t know what the heck I am doing, I am taking it slow so I don’t get over zealous and hack away! snip, snip, snip!
