Keli's Korner ~ The Westie and The Wauzer

Penny is learning to sit nicely, but we need more time and practice (and lamb jerky treats). We really just wanted her to get used to the feel and sound of the clipper. She was pretty good and we kept the session short. She still has that puppy look, just a little neater now. After the "rou...
