We decided that it was time for young Cupcake to visit the hairdressers.

First, Lynda bathed her and brushed her coat out,

then she checked to see how long her hair had grown again. Cupcake's hair grows about an inch a month.

The process begins,

"I'm off"

All done.

You make it look so easy :(|)
I am a nervous wreck trimming my long haired piggies - they are sooo good though and make little happy purring noises :))
 
Lovely set of pictures, and Cupcake looks even more beautiful after her haircut
 
Beautiful piggy :) I have just one piggy with long hair all over and he absolutely hates it when I try and trim the hair lol
 
What a beautiful piggy!

I think this is what Glinda may look like eventually :)) She did have some whispy bits growing at the backend, but I cut them the other day (accidentally gave her an embarrassing 'bowl-cut' type hairstyle!). She still has wispy bits coming out from her ears though - she looks so funny.

Do you trim under her tummy? I noticed Glinda is getting a bit grubby and is in need of a bath, and I was wondering if it would be an idea to trim some hair? (Don't think she'd appreciate it much, though)
 
Aww, bless. I hate doing Archie's trims...he hates it! He kicks me and squeals at me and gets in a right strop. Teenagers rolleyes I made a right mess of his fringe last time though :red Luckily it grows quickly.

Cupcakes hair isn't long under her tummy, like all longhairs their tummy hairs get worn away naturaly. I wouldn't like to risk snipping a nipple off either.

We only trim her when her hair starts to hold the dampness and she tends to smell a bit.

Cupcake stamps on Lynda's hand and makes very it very obvious that she doesn't want her hair cutting, a little trick is to gently place your hand flat on their back to calm them down.
 
Your own personal hairdresser!

No more holding the piggy still! Esme will gladly sort out those pesky hairs!

All she asks is unlimited veg, in return for her styling abilities!
 
Lynda says "Do you think Esme prefers her men with short back and sides then?"
