Today was Moona's first visit to PETSAppeal. Here's how she looked when she arrived. Moona (along with her brother Verdell - a Brussels Griffon) is new in town and hasn't been to a groomer in awhile. She she was badly in need of a new do.
Our first challenge was helping her get rid of the many, many mats in her coat. I didn't want to strip the coat and she tolerated the dematting process well. Still, it took 45 minutes of patience on both our parts to get her coat ready for her bath.
A few hours later, Moona was ready for her closeup (though after all that work she wasn't at all interested in standing for her pose and required a little artificial lift in the rear end). She was quite happy to be done and we spent the next hour playing while we waited for her people to arrive. Looking at her photo I can see that I'd like to spend a little more time on her head and ears next time. She was tired by the time I got there today and didn't want to stand still anymore so I can see that things are a little off balance. Hopefully we won't have to do any dematting next time (hint to her people - schedule her next appointment now!) so we'll have more time to work on the finer points.
Welcome Moona!
