Ol' Pegleg

Since it's hot we decide that Jake should have a haircut.  It costs $50 at the groomers where they lock him up for 3 hours then bathe and trim him the last half hour. 😢

Well, we didn't want any of that so we sent away for a do-it-yourself-dog-clipping-cutting-hair kit.

Since Chris is the artistic one I decided to let him have a go at it first.It was tricky and he kept saying,"Do you want to try?!" 

I didn't.

He trimmed Jake's back with scissors and it looked pretty choppy.  It's been a couple weeks and it looks fine now.

Then last week we decided that Jake should have his little legs and feet trimmed.

Again, Chris had the first go.

For some reason Chris channeled his inner "little girl with some scissors."

He kept cutting a little bit of hair on Jake's leg, then cut a bit more to even it out, and just like a little girl cutting her bangs, he chopped and chopped "trying to even it out" until all the hair was gone and all that was left was sprigs.  In this case it was a shaved leg.

So now poor Jake looks like Ol' Pegleg:

(his back right leg, if you can't tell, is considerably less fluffy than the front legs)

Chris started in on Jake's other back leg but I made him STOP!
