RANDOM NOTHINGNESS

I just gave Garnet her weekly bath.  The usual routine:  brush coat, wet coat, shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, rinse, towel dry with cuddle, and finally blow dry while brushing coat (too much stuff to do to groom a pet?  please refer to her pic below so you'll understand). I used a new slicker brush as a final touch to give her hair more shine and remove loose undercoat.

Garnet is a pain during grooming hours.  She hates, no, she abhors the water, the brush and the toe nail clipper.  She would whine so hard and loud whenever I groom her, especially when I reach her legs.  So it didn't really bother me when she cried so persistently loud while I was on the process of removing a stubborn mat on her hind leg using the slicker brush.

I didn't realize I was hurting her big time until I saw blood staining her coat.

Poor poor baby. *sob  I gave her extra treats to make up for my hurting her.

Lesson learned:  be gentle in using the slicker brush.
