Theo (or Theodore on Sundays) ! What a lovely lad to join us !
This young man is just approaching his third birthday. Being a Persian, Theo has the most thick high maintenance coat going, which makes it unfortunate that he doesn’t care too much for a brushing.
Theo finds it difficult to tolerate any amount of brushing – anywhere apart from around his head / ruff. He has been clipped back on a couple of occasions, and today his coat was still quite short.
His first formal grooming session – ie. on a table, with an outsider – and Theo was very acrobatic ! Not a bad bone in his body, just determined to leave the table. However, as the session progressed, Theo did calm some. Towards the end he was managing to sit of his own accord whilst some light combing was carried out on his sides and back. We did get a few minutes underneath also, and were able to comb under his armpits. Enough for one Theo, for one day.
Next time we meet up we’re going to clip Theo’s coat back again, to make for an easier maintenance.
Well done, Theo – very brave. We’ll see you again in a few weeks, chick.
