BabyDog Lucy Versus Scissors

Landon and I have been living on a really tight budget in order to be debt free. Our goal: one year. Goodbye PA school student loans. Now, this debt free business is no easy task...and sometimes it requires exteme measures. BabyDog Lucy was due up for another grooming. Notice how shaggy she is in the first picture, taken about a month ago...so it's only gotten worse since this picture. We did the math and figured we spend about $500 or so just on her haircuts/shampoos/nail clipping per year. That's way too much money. So, we decided to try our hand at grooming her ourselves. :)

Lucy's "after" picture.

Her body actually doesn't look bad, but her face is HORRIBLE! She kind of looks like a mix between a Schnauzer and a ratdog. :) We didn't realize that there are certain "cuts" for certain dogs. She definitely didn't get the "Yorkie cut" here. She actually behaved pretty well during the grooming, so we are thinking we will take her to the groomer for her first summer cut, and then we will trim her otherwise.

Side Note: She has cataracts, hence the yellow eyes. And, yes, she also has gray hair. That's what happens when you are 15 years old. :)
