tinkerbell
This little madam who lives in Blackburn, Lancashire is just 10 months old – and already thinks she’s the boss. Tinkerbell is such a gorgeous little cuddly, friendly girl. Until you tell her to do something she doesn’t want to do – like laying still for an extended grooming session.
Mum combs Tinkerbell, but her coat was quite heavily matted in those usual areas where babies don’t like to be touched !!
We split Tinkerbell’s session into 2 halves. The first session we mainly concentrated on removing the mats that had formed under her armpits and around her chest – and began the brush out underneath on the tummy. That proved enough for one session, and we resumed a couple of days later.
When we met up again, we concentrated on the lower part of her body – clipping between the inner thighs, and around the backend area. It’s fair to say that Tinkerbell (affectionately known as “Wriggle Monster” !) didn’t enjoy the session and would much rather have been anywhere else. Yes, anywhere ! Tinkerbell does like to be combed in small doses, on her terms …. However, as a Persian it’s important that she learns that brushing is part of the daily routine and must learn to tolerate it sufficiently.
A week or so after the session mum Felicity reported that all is good, and that she is being able to brush Miss Tinkerbell daily. Well done mum, keep up the good work !!
