Re: Anyone want!!!


Dylan's the opposite - the only time we hear any complaint from him is when we pick him up when he doesn't want up

He will demand to be stroked and combed literally everywhere

Getting crochety in his old age, isn't he? Very few of mine have ever liked/ tolerated the back of the back legs being combed ...... he's a gorgeous blue boy anyway; give him a cuddle from me.

Re: Anyone want!!!


same here chloe don't like being touched around the back end, or being picked up. Marmaduke on the other hand doesn't mind at all, but as he's only 14 weeks (but getting really BIG) I'm sure this might change

I tried the zoom groom on Kizzy yesterday - smooth side. Madam did not like and she's beginning to moult.

Pip doesn't mind too much but will only allow one side at a time!

Re: Anyone want!!!


I use a plain comb with rotating pins..all like this but only Solly tolerates the tum
And, yes, I will gladly take that boy off your hands, just send him first class, eh?

Re: Anyone want!!!


Moli - has Merlin generally become "touchy" around his hindquarters? Sounds as if he may have some discomfort even when you aren't grooming him.

Re: Anyone want!!!


Cloud really loves grooming - but only with a brush, not really with a comb of any description! It almost seems like she would quite happily sit on my lap all day if I would brush her - especially her head, but she doesn't seem to mind anywhere...

I can pet him round his hindquaters, but the comb in that area is a no,no...
