We are a family of animal lovers. We have four dogs, two cats, a turtle and a fish. Three of our dogs (Max, Loki and Chloe) are Yorkshire Terriers and the fourth is a German Shepard (Arwen). I hate to think what our annual pet food, vet visits and grooming costs amounts to but I suspect it would feed an entire village in Cambodia or someplace similar for at least a month. I also hate to think of how much pet hair we accidentally consume but based on what comes out of our vacuum cleaner, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point I hork up a hairball.
In an effort to cut some on the budget, The Wife decided we could take over the grooming of the small dogs. She wanted to buy a set of clippers on our most recent trip to Target but decided she would be better off borrowing a pair from The Mother in Law first. So we did.

Here is what a Yorkshire Terrier is supposed to look like:
Here is a Gremlin from the movie Gremlins:
And here is Chloe after my wife's "grooming":
I think my daughter said it best when she first saw my wife's handiwork......"Poor Chloe"

I always wondered what one of those things would look like shaved.
You named your German Shepherd Arwen? Nice.
How many times did Chloe bite the Wife? Or did she resort to the famous-yet-sneaky "shit-in-the-shoe" tactic?
Don't laugh too hard. One of our cats has done that.
OK, I had the whole family gathered around to look at Chloe's fate because I was laughing so hard. Poor baby.
Well, look on the bright side. There will be far, far fewer Chloe hairs to hork up later.
Er..um...it's her "summer cut" or her..."puppy cut" -- cooler for summer, yes?
If I had a Yorkie, I'd probably cut it the same way, just to have fewer knots to worry about. Yeah, that's it!
Okay, I'm clearly in a minority here, but I think Chloe actually looks better than the model yorkie. Cuter and less fussy.
Wendy's "summer cut" remark reminded me of a story, Jeff. Why not post about the time you and your brother got "summer haircuts"?
OOo, did "summer haircuts" involve clippers, ear fears, and crying?
As I recall it involved baseball hats.
Eep!
That is almost as good as those poor lion haircuts I've seen given to persian cats!
Tell the wife to save money like I do--go to sales. :)
No jury could convict if that dog ate up a favorite pair of shoes in revenge.
Poor puppy!
