Any tips on how to get puppy to accept blow dryer ? I put it on low heat, low vent. First he resisted , then he stayed sitting still but he was shaking so much it broke my heart, and when I turned off the dryer I could hear him cry. 💔

I got him 70% dry but I didn’t finish drying him, I rolled him on a towel and put him on my legs and he hasn’t moved since which is unlike him (it’s been about 20min).

He is a mini poodle and he is gonna be 12 weeks tomorrow.

I wanted to bathe him and dry him home in preparation for his first professional grooming later this week. But now I’m so scared for him. 🥺

Meet Hendrix Droodles! He’s a 2.5 month miniature poodle and he’s hella cute. He even looks like he’s smiling in his sleep 😍

I’m excited about how smart he seems to be, but he’s also quite sassy, and I was NOT ready 🤣

My last doggo was a Labrador who also learned very quickly, but he was much more eager to obey than this little fella. I’ve only had Hendrix for about a week, so I’m sure we’ll have fun figuring each other out, but I’d appreciate any tips from experienced poodle owners!

Looking forward to exploring this community ❤️

I’ve been struggling to let go of control in my watercolor journey, so I challenged myself to keep this one loose and limit details.

I actually like how it turned out, but every fiber of my being still wants to “fix” it 😅 Does this still read as loose watercolor or did my control freak tendencies sneak back in?

New to watercolor and I think I keep fighting the medium instead of working with it. I tend to overwork pieces trying to control everything, but they still end up feeling unfinished somehow.

Any advice on what this piece needs to feel complete? Also open to exercises/tips for loosening up and learning to trust the water more.
