Wish me luck, cause I'm dropping off my 6 mos old minipoo at the groomer for the first time tomorrow. We've only had Beau a few weeks, and he's hardly been out of my sight the whole time; sticks to me like glue! He's our first dog, so I have no real basis for comparison, but he does seem to be a rather shy little guy. I'm sure he'll settle in given more time, but the breeder we got him from is a groomer herself, and he came home in a fancy puppy show clip. (Timing didn't work out for her to cut him before we picked him him up.) He looks adorable, but it's way too much hair for us newbies to handle! It's been about a month since he had his last haircut, so I want to get him into a nice manageable lamb clip before he starts to develop mats. I just hope he doesn't freak out too much when the time comes for me to leave. Fortunately, the groomer has 45 years experience grooming, breeding, and showing poodles, so I know he'll be in good hands.
I'll post an update and some pictures -- providing we live to tell the tale!
