I broke my own record for clipping and scissoring Poppy today - under 25 minutes on the table! She was beginning to wobble even with sitting while I did her face and top knot and with my hand under her for support whenever possible, so any further tidying up will have to wait till tomorrow. Face and tail with a 10 blade (feet are practically bald from the steroids she is taking so I left those), body and legs with a 5/8" comb, tummy 3/8", and very rapid scissoring of topknot and any obvious tufts. Her coat is now so thin that she looks bald and gets shivery if it is any shorter.
Poor sausage is back to the vets for more blood tests on Wednesday - nearly 6 months since the last round, and the vet wants to check her before Christmas. They are very impressed at how she sits like a rock the moment they begin to shave her - 11 years of being a poodle can teach that!
