Well, we've put off the day we are leaving because it will be raining for several days in the area we want to stay in first. In the meantime Gigi needed to be groomed but her usual groomer had surgery and was unable to do her. I figured it can't be too hard so bought the clippers and my husband and I bathed, combed and cut her. It took longer than I thought as she does not like the blow dryer, and so she had to air dry. I'm including a picture of her during the process. When done she only had one serious bad spot on her hind leg.
