So far it's Bichon week, woo-hoo!

I've had a Bichon three days in a row now, and I'm starting to see that my scissoring isn't really as bad as I thought!

The first Bichon (first two pictures) is Chipper. I messed up on him a little when I left one leg a little more full and accidentally flattened one side of his head. Tim said it looked like he fell asleep on one side and smooshed it; he was right. After some touch-ups, I think I kept that cute expression I was going for, a nice pet trim.

Second Bichon (last two pics) came in today. His name was Andre, and he turned into an interesting case. He was a complete noodge for everything; took forever to do, so I almost ran out of time! Tim turned it into a team groom with me, himself, and another classmate; I only got to work on the head. However, I feel like I redeemed myself from yesterday, especially since I got his little ears to blend in better.

Just wanted to share... I LOVE working on Bichons!!

Still very nice you are allowed to make mistakes (SHH we all still do even after YEARS in this).
Ugh the staining on the first dog... I know you can't help that, just UGH!!!
No chance you want to come see Vegas when you graduate is there. I'm not even looking for a groomer, but I would take you on in a heartbeat

Good, you can come do all mine...lol. You are coming along really well. As for the staining on the face, I take the very tips of my scissors and snip each little stained hair off. I hate it and never leave it.

You're doing a wonderful job! Nice scissor work! Andre is just the cutest!
