Yes they do but I do it anyway when they start shedding in the spring, just to get that old long hair off of there. It evens out when the rest of it turns loose. But I wouldn't do it any other time. I made the mistake of clipping Hope later on in the spring and she had those clipper marks forever! I'm not the best barber in the world.
Clipping is a really tough art, one that I've never been particularly good at either.
Oh man, I am really starting to feel like I'm catching cold. Sore throat, sleepy but unable to sleep, and chilled.
I think I got it from Becky.
