This is what happens when I can't go fishing
Submitted by Colin Hay on Sun, 2009-08-23 14:37
With the weather being pretty poor today I decided to give my regular Sunday morning fish a miss and catch up on a few chores.
One of them was to give my wife's dogs a hair cut.
As you can see from above, I am not too good at the old dog clipping and poor Gizmo end up looking like a moth eaten rat.
Definately not like he is supposed to look like - as pictured below below.
Poor dogs. I bet they wish I went fishing.

Too funny Colin...although
Too funny Colin...although Gizmo doesn't look too bad.
I get that job too but it is with the guinea pigs. One of our pigs, Silka, has long hair that needs a chop. You take your life in your hands.
A few clips back I got a nip on the arm for my troubles.

Pig. They must wriggle around like mad.

Thanks for the extra photo of your Miniature pinscher, she looks a very alert dog, ears straight up and I would think be a very loyal friend.

Poor Dog.
ROFL, ouch poor doggy.... Looks a bit better than the stray I found half shaven about 3 months ago... At least he still has hair.
Yeah I agree with HubbyB (your mini pin is cool), :P. I got 2 dogs, no haircut needed.

You all melt when you
see the beautiful look in their eyes, Colin don't worry, our departed little yorkie looked much worse for wear when I clipped her, apart from sitting their like jelly on a plate, looking at me as if I was going to kill her, believe me Gizmo looked perfect compared to Penny's hair cut,

I know how he feels
I made a big mistake once and let my wife loose with the clippers. I knew there was a problem when I could hear her giggling as she was cutting the hair on the back of my head.

that problem can be solved,
that problem can be solved, get yourself some clippers , stand in front of the bathroom mirror and just let loose and take it all off down to a number 1. save on shampoo and you dont need to pay someone else to do your hair, just think of all the fishing gear you could buy over a 12 month period
