I was thinking about getting that cheaper version of the furminator, that Michelle posted.
Here are Astro's butt shots. Just keep in mind, that I had to cut knots out with a scissor. He had them behind his ears, too. I am able to use a brush and comb on his butt. There are no knots, but I wasn't sure if I should take out all that extra white fur.
He can't go to a professional groomer because, well, because he is Astro.
Ignore the purplish skin on his left leg. He had a skin infection but it is cleared up and hair is growing nicely.
Truman has the patience of a Saint. Astro is eating his leg.
I tried to make it "even" going vertical.
