Reality--$60 is not that much to pay for sanity.
Halfway through giving Chewie the worst haircut known to dogkind, Chris showed up, dropping off the kids. He had to get back to work, and I had seriously underestimated the amount of time it would take to groom a dog. So I clippered, scissored, and bathed that stinky dog with McKay and Deacon in tow. Now Deacon was stinky himself, but as I had forgotten diaper and wipes, he had to remain in his stink. So he took it upon himself to smell a little better. He kept getting in the dog bath and trying to rinse himself. I kept pulling him out. Finally I gave up. Pretty soon Chewie and Deacon were bathing together in the doggie tub. Deacon washing Chewie and playing in his dog hair.
Sometimes when the situation is just too disgusting, I have to turn off my gag reflex, and just go with it. Which is what I did. At least one of them was getting clean.
Fast-forward a hellacious two hours later, and Chewie was done. This is how Chewie looks when he's been professionally groomed. (I know it's an old picture. I had to search to find one.)
This is how Chewie looks after I groomed him.
Go ahead and laugh. I know I did.

he is so sad looking.
But the Money you saved..... I would have tried it myself too!!!
I did laugh...for almost 5 minutes. He looks so embarassed. Let it grow out before you take him on a walk....
I am taking him in next week to "fix it". Poor boy!
I laughed very hard. Even Gideon laughed (but probably because I was laughing). He is now repeating "woof" for the 3,000th time.
I almost peed my pants laughing so hard!
Chris, this haircut may be too short to fix!
Oh, that is so great. Thanks for the boost.
What an experience! But at least he's clean!
I feel so much better after such a good chuckle. Thanks, Kodie. You're blog is always so great.
That is fantastic! I'm literally tearing up from laughing so hard. I had to minimize the window to keep it together long enough to make this comment.
I had to comment because a couple of weeks ago, Eric and I decided to save the money and do it ourselves as well. Except that we used our own hair cutting shears. After an hour, we had more hair than Sampson and we had to put a shirt on him to cover up the bald spots! I will never do it again! LOL.
