little elvis
Our friend Persian Elvis in Middleton, Greater Manchester is now just over 2 years old, and it was time again for him to enjoy his maintenance clip !
Naturally, Elvis has the most big, thick, overwhelming coat you can imagine. Far to much for him to be able to cope with, and it was obviously weighing him down in body and mind.
Elvis is a friendly young man, but easily gets spooked and panics. In his previous life (before his met his current mum) he endured a terrible experience, being caught up in a washing machine. He is lucky to still be with us today.
When we first met Elvis last year, we had brush out sessions. He was very fidgety at times, but relaxed for periods in between. Today’s session was quite the opposite. Chilled is probably the best word to describe our session. At one point whilst his tummy was being clipped he really was snoozing and it was only a gentle tap on the shoulder that roused him !
We always knew that Elvis wasn’t keen on the comb. Probably because his coat is so thick, and the comb struggles to get through. However, Elvis really has learnt and accepted – and prefers ! – the clippers.
After the session, mum commented :
“I rescued him [Elvis] when he was a kitten and he is scared of most things apart from loves which he demands constantly ha ha. That’s why this service is a god send. I would never subject him to an outside groomer. To be able to have his maintenance clip in his own home is wonderful. He loves his new body Hun – thank you so much….. You did a fantastic job as per, they’re much happier without all that fur. They’ve been chilling in the back garden and playing when the mood takes them. They play more when cooler”
Why not come over and have a look at our facebook page, where you can see a short video clip of the young man himself …
