Misty was in bad need of a haircut and no amount of brushing was going to get all the tangles out. Due to her age and to minimize any undue stress, we stopped taking her to the groomer. Armed with a new clipper, I went a little "Edward Scissorhands" on her--ok, so it's not the prettiest haircut, but all the knots and tangles are gone and she's not scratching anymore...mission accomplished in my book!
