    All went well!

    Used the wand and rope method to gently catch her. Then put the handler helper on. She basically just stood there, ate a few bites, but mostly just stood while I trimmed her. I did her belly and above the knee (funny, that is the last place I would shave my own leg..) while I kneeled beside her. She was nervous I am sure that is why she stood and didn't eat. After I finished the leg I moved on to her side and she walked off. I let her have a few minutes and then continued trimming the side and then she'd walk off after a minute. Then I tried holding the handler helper. She stood still for a few min and then cushed. Zera cushed behind her. Got most of her left side and maybe half her right side. After a while she jumped up. I let her have a little break and then used the HH to trim a bit more. I will do more another day. So she has one shaved leg. Not "beach ready".
    She never spit. Whew. ;)
    It went much better than I was expecting. Hope I didn't scare her. She seemed calm but not relaxed.
    I forgot the laundry basket and Zera kept humming at the hair pile. Oops.
    I cut a LOT. My hand feels pretty good, considering! It is a bit shaky, typing.
