Nico came to visit my grooming table yesterday. He is a very large mixed breed with an extraordinarily absorbant heavy undercoat. This was a 3 hour bath and brush. It was like a blizzard in the shop as I blew his coat dry. A lot of the undercoat released but there is still a fair bit left to keep him warm until the real spring weather gets here. He has a very calm and kind nature...with me at least...apparently he bit someone a few days ago. There was not even a hint of any aggression in him while I groomed him. Trimming his nails went off without any difficulty at all. All in all it was a pleasant three hours...then it took an hour an a half to clean up the shop from all his fuzzies.
