Since taking Liesel to her new groomer a few months back....we couldn't be any happier with how caring and thoughtful she is when working with Liesel.
Since Liesel fears clippers and scissors...she is hand stripped. Which is the proper technique for grooming any wire hair breed of dog. Most groomers either cannot or won't do it....but this is Liesel's preferred way of being groomed. She fully relaxes...and hand stripping...contrary to how it sounds....is not painful or hurtful.
Trimming her front legs, paws and nails is a bit of a challenge....since Liesel is arthritic in both shoulders and front legs.
I give you, what we affectionally call...the "slingshot"! A safe & secure hammock...which causes no stress or pressure on the chest and upper body....and no moving or turning of legs to trim!! Meghan (our groomer)....shared how this method works & Liesel totally relaxed...and having an odd treat or two snuck in...
It is less stressful for both of us when Liesel is being so lovingly cared for. And looking all adorable at the same time!! Everyone always comments how sweet she is....
Today...is forecast to be a gorgeous fall day...so a walk is definitely in the plans. My nephew & wife plan to visit from Nova Scotia this weekend...after Hurricane Lee caused us to cancel a couple of weeks ago. We are looking forward to their visit....and will dine out at a local pub during their stay. Daughter & son-in-law will be joining us as well.
I hope fall has arrived in all its glory where you are!! Have an awesome day!!
