3 pound acrobat

    3 pound acrobat

    I just finished grooming (or mostly grooming) my three pound poodle. How do you guys handle a dog that small?! There's no place to hold on to and this one is an acrobat. Forget the noose. She jumped onto my shoulder and I had to drop the clippers (or her so I opted for the clippers).
     
    Most of her grooming gets done on my lap but I needed to do her face. There is no jaw to hold onto. Her muzzle is miniscule. It's possible to hold her head (you can hold her whole head in your palm) - if she'll stop playing bucking bronco because she doesn't like her head gripped.
     
    I have to wonder about the people who want teacup dogs (she was "supposed" to be about 6 pounds). Boy are they hard to manage!

    I don't[:D] I hand them to someone else, to cradle, while I do what I have to do, LOL.

    Teensy dogs are FUN!

    My Shih Tzu's are both 9 pounds a piece. and one of them really  hates her face being groomed, right now we are trying to grow out  the half of her face that accidentally got shaved when she got out of the head lock I had her in while grooming her. My husband came home that day and first saw Trixie whose grooming I did pretty good, he was telling me how good I am getting at it when Molly walked in with her lopsided hair cut. We both burst out laughing.
