fidgety henry !
Meet Henry the Fidget who lives with his mum in Great Harwood, Lancashire.
Henry is 16 years old now, but doesn’t look it. He doesn’t act it either – especially during his mad half hour !
We called in to see Henry as he had developed some matted areas, particularly around his backend and on his tummy. He knew we were coming as he sent us a message on facebook a couple of hours prior to our appointment, with this piccie on the right.
Henry is the most sweet and gentle boy you could meet. However, he is probably one of the most fidgety, too. He managed to sit still on all 4s for short bursts, but had a real aversion to lying on his side so we did as much of the work as possible from the top. He wasn’t nervous in the least – just extremely fidgety ! We tried different tacks with him until we found that being brushed around his head with his favourite brush helped occupy him, whilst we clipped underneath. Phew .. ! We took away a large portion around the back and underneath, which will enable a clean start for him.
After the session, Henry was in and out of the kitchen where we’d been working. Too nosy to keep away for long.
Following the session, mum Debbie said :
“Can I just say a huge thankyou to Sandra for “eventually” sorting Henry’s knotty coat out. Thankyou for being amazingly patient with him during his stubborn times and sorry for his bad language lol. I think now he has realised what it was all about, he’s not left me alone … led on my chest as im trying to type this 🙂 and he seems so much happier in himself and is grooming himself more . Oh Henry has just said “Thank you Sandra, I feel much more comfortable now the knots have gone and sorry for being a pain lol xx”
Well done Henry … You were a good boy. A very fidgety good boy !
