It's nearly embarrassing to show you the following picture...it's a good thing Cooper's just a dog and not a child as he looks pretty unkempt. (He has a good life, I swear!)
So...Cooper obviously needs a trim! Or a buzz...
Turns out the guy has eyes! And a mouth...and a nose. Forgot how cute they were. :)I've given Cooper a trim before, but just trimmed him up with kitchen scissors (again, embarrassing). He looked fine, but I decided I'd take him to a professional groomer this time around. Groomers must be reserved a couple of weeks in advance (in Johnson County, at least) and, knowing full-well I wanted to get him groomed this weekend, I still kept putting the phone call off. So today I decided I'd invest the $40 I'd pay for a professional groomer (every time!!) in a home grooming kit.
I settled on a Conair Home Pet Grooming Kit for $27 at Target. I also found a nail trimmer on clearance for $13. Best $40 we ever spent, Coop!
Coop looks like he lost 10 pounds! Congrats Coop, lookin' good!!
ReplyDeleteHe looks adorable! Good job mommy!
ReplyDeletei foster and adopt bichon frise's, and have had up to 8 in my home at a time. doing the grooming myself is worth it -- as long as i don't nip 'em with the buzzers or cut too deeply on their nails. be sure to *gently* clean out the hair in his ears -- he'll appreciate it, and you'll prevent ear infections.
ReplyDeletep.s. he's adorable!
