Poodles > P.S. Thanks to both Kathy and her assistant Stewart for coming up with Hattie's name!
Poodles > In some spots Hattie had been so uncomfortable that she had literally torn off her own coat! Hundreds of foxtails had penetrated her coat and the process of BEGINNING to pick them out kept her foster mother busy until dawn. Hattie will be trimmed more neatly later -- this first shaving was just to get rid of as much of the bulk of the coat as possible with out further aggravating of the surface foxtails. It would not have been fair to Hattie to put her through any thing else that first night so it was agreed that she would go home with her temporary 'do'. Kathy - we can't thank you enough!
Poodles > Even before Kathy started the process of shaving her we could see that Hattie was in pain. All four of her feet were badly swollen and riddled with infected foxtail tracks. Look carefully all those little 'flecks' are foxtails. If you would like a closer look please double click on the picture to the left.

Poodles > After an hour of trying to shave Hattie her foster mother realized that she was in over her head when it came to grooming/shaving Hattie. Thankfully a generous 8 p.m. offer of help from Kathy Arnold was received and very gratefully accepted. Hattie's coat needed to be taken completely off. As Kathy gently and carefully shaved Hattie's coat 'peeled' off in one piece. Kathy is an EXTREMELY experienced and proficient groomer, even still it was not until the wee hours of the morning that Kathy finished - the first rough stripping off of Hattie's coat.
P.S. Thanks to both Kathy and her assistant Stewart for coming up with Hattie's name!
