I am so excited. After months of talking about it and looking at them and dreaming of getting some. I finally ordered a set of Oster A5 and then waited it seemed forever. They came on the weekend when the post office was closed. I just about killed me to wait till Monday. But I finally got them. My husband wouldn't let me try them yesterday as my neck has been out of place on the weekend. Which ment I had to go to the chiropractor yesterday to get it fixed. So he wanted me to give it a day to rest.
I was all set to try them out in the morning but of course all three of my kids got sick and were off school. So finally I tried them out tonight when everyone was in bed. I am so pleased. It was to much fun to see the pads of Betty Jo and Jenny's feet come out from hiding under all that fur. No snowballs tomorrow between the toes!! I would have loved to keep going and shave down a whole foot. I was so tempted but I promised Arreau I wouldn't. We are getting together for a grooming lesson and a full groom for the girls hopefully on the weekend. I am so lucky that she has agreed to teach me how to do it properly. It will take out so much stress in the learning process. Thanks again for being such a wonderful mentor. I am so lucky to have her as a partner. Not to mention the instructions should cut down on the funny haircuts they would otherwise get as I go through the learning curve.
It will be great to learn how to do a face feet and tails to start so I can keep them looking nice. Not to mention how great it will be to be able to not have them track in tons of snow every time they go out.
I was also amazed at how well Betty Jo and Jenny behaved. You've got to like it when they co-operate with you. They do seem to be ticklish though.
