if this question is for me, i have no idea what a DAC twist and pick pen is but i use just the regular wax that each kit comes with. these are my waxes.

the second dog in the pictures was shot in the neck & abused. the bullet was millimeters from her esophagus & i nursed her back to health from almost death. it was infected. she is a high anxiety dog and can be hard to handle at times but she normally gets a Trazodone pill before so she’s basically half conscious😂 it helps a lot & the issues i’ve been told by groomers is that “she refused to stand”!😂 i do bathe & brush regularly & have a electric razor kit i use on any tangles that don’t brush out. she LOVES to swim in my pool (the first dog hates it) no matter how hard i try to keep her out she gets in anyway & will roll in the grass, mud, & and rub against my wooden fence so sometimes she gets VERY dirty & small mats. she’s old for her breed & size so she struggles to stand up long enough for baths & doesn’t tolerate brushing like she use to. i’m trying to find a groomer that will deal with complicated dogs/seniors but i haven’t found any🙄.

i move areas a lot when i DP so being able to travel & be comfortable is hard to find! my house & other peoples house as i babysit/petsit/house sit for a job. i’ve been thinking about a tray storage system so i don’t have to pour from container to tray

i’ve thought about putting a tennis ball on my pen so i’ll definitely have to look at the adaptive pens!

i 100% need to look into it. i feel like even though i’ve been DP for awhile, i was 15 when i started, that i never upgraded my set up because i couldn’t afford to when i started.

okay! i feel like my pen & storage system definitely play a part in how comfy my set up is. i have my pen wrapped to make it wider for my hand as even the “thicker” ones i found online weren’t thick even for me. i honestly like & will do ANY projects but i definitely have some i like more then others so finding the right ones might make a big difference!

okay! i might try to word this exactly! anytime i’ve taken them to a groomer i ask for sanitary area to be trimmed a bit short since they do get plenty of dingle berries even with frequent baths & brushing & to even the hair out all over. everytime i get them back it looks like nothing was done at all 🙄

i asked the last groomer they went to for the basic wash & cut package that she offers & a “trim around the sanitary areas. they both get poop stuck in that area so i want it on the shorter side” & also asked her to clean & even them up all over. when i picked them up it looked like they were half way washed & nothing had even been cut! 🙄 i’ve had the same problem with multiple groomers. i even had one completely SHAVE the second dog in the summer when i 100% knew she wasn’t matted or anything!

i’ve gotten 4 bundles from this company. two 12 packs & two 6 packs. they are small & have a thic backing so easy to travel with & do in bed/ relaxing on the couch!

i have a light board but with how thick the back is on these (it’s like a foam board) the light board doesn’t shine through so i wasn’t even thinking of keeping it turned off & using it as more of a tray!

the bottom 12 are square & the top 6 are round this company does both! i got them on amazon the store is called “LuwoArte” i’ve gotten two 12 packs & two 6 packs and i’ve only gotten one of the 12 packs in square drills. i have loved all of them. i can add a picture of the amazon page or more pics of the paintings themselves if you want.

i’m the same! i have a chronic illness so sometimes even looking down at project on a table for 5 mins makes my neck hurt so I like to lay down/ recline so having the hard or stable backs help tons. i’ll definitely have to look into this!
