The Poocer Files: He can now see!

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!

  3. i 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.
