chirpy charlie
It’s about 8 months since we last met up with Charlie. Charlie lives in Wigan, Greater Manchester and she is, we think, around 13 years old.
Last time we saw Charlie, she was in need of some de-matting around her rear quarters. She was no longer grooming sufficiently and her coat has got a little out of hand. It was quite a difficult session in that Charlie wasn’t best pleased at finding herself the centre of attention. She particularly wasn’t keen on her matted sections being worked on.
Today, Charlie’s coat was in a much better position. No mats, just a few tangles underneath and under the armpits which were detangled with the comb. Although Charlie would rather have been back in her bed (she had to be rudely woken up for the session !) she did fare very well. A few choice words, but she calmed again with sweet talk and the reassurance of tickles and cuddles around her cheeks, which she loves.
Such a different session to last time. We think this was due to a combination of factors : 1) The session was timely – Charlie’s coat wasn’t too difficult to work through 2) Charlie remembered the last session, and that Hey – It wasn’t really that bad, was it ? 3) Charlie enjoyed the soothing music we played for her during the session.
A really pleasing session, Charlie. Well done and we’ll see you again later in the year for another brush out.
