butchering the dog

I can't believe that Alex and I are actually going to be entrusted with a CHILD after what we did to Miles.

If you look on the right, you can see what a beautiful dog Miles is. You may remember a post from several months ago after we first shaved Miles at a groomer. Well, the groomer is expensive ($80!) - so we figured that we could do it ourselves.

We bought some clippers yesterday at Petsmart and went to work. Unfortunately, the clippers didn't come with a guide to raise the level of the cut from the bare razor. So Alex went back and got some, but those just didn't work. So we decided to 'go it alone'. Alex has a steady hand, right?

Basically, Miles looks like a drunk blind person shaved him. Poor thing, there are at least 8 different spots where the razor cut down to his skin and he is almost bald. The rest of him is just patchy all over like we sheared him with rusty scissors.

Poor thing. He was so beautiful. The really hysterical thing, is that he has an appointment at the vet tomorrow for his annual shots. They are ALL going to make so much fun of him (us). I'm so embarrassed.

I will post a picture very soon.
