Shaving the dog...

Tonight I got home from a long day at work and Jules and the boys were just sitting down to Pizza. Yum.. Was a nice dinner.

After dinner, did a load of dishes, a load of laundry, and decided the dog was due for a haircut. Man, she was bad... Pepper is a border collie, spaniel mix. We usually let her hair grow during the winter months so she's warm when she's outside.

Well.. Her hair was pretty matted and she had poop stuck in it because of that. I spent a good hour trimming her with the electric trimmer in the back yard. She demanded a number of breaks to go bark at other dogs in the park. Crazy dog! Finally got her trimmed to a managable state and Jules gave her a bath. Now she's cute and smells good again! She seems happier as well. I'm sure she'll be more comfortable since the temps lately have been in the 70s.
