I swear, I had the best of intentions at heart

Ok, well, bella420 and I have a dog, a pekapoo(that's half pekanese(sp), half poodle). His name is nugget(someone in our household smokes the reefer), he weighs about 5 pounds if we're lucky, can't get in trouble because he's so cute you could vomit and had lots of hair, emphasis on had. Nugget is better at chewing his brush than us brushing him, and because he's so squirmy and small, it's very difficult and a little nerve wracking trying to hold him down, so he had very thick, VERY knotted black hair all over his little body. I was shaving this morning because I can't sleep and got off work at six this morning and have been awake for about 14 hours. He was sitting there watching me shave my somewhat bushy beard and I got an idea. It's not easy using an electric shaver on a dog that is roughly twice the size of said shaver, but i'm a tenacious bugger and he's got a lot less knots. Unfortunately, he now has extremely uneven, very short hair all over his body, kinda longish uneven hair on his legs, and little mini dreads all around his head. bella420 is going to KILL ME, so I just thought I'd let the world know why I died, and that I didn't do it out of malice or cruelty, just insomnia and a misguided sense of responsibility.

Umm...pictures please!!!

Are you stalking me again?

Great story, man. Hope the lady doesn't castrate ya.

That's why god invented the groomer. We take ours to a place called "Best in Show", aka Two Gay Groomers aka Queer Eye for the Straight Dog.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a similar story involving a beard trimmer and my pubic hair... It didn't involve knots, but the little bugger was difficult to handle once I fired up the trimmer.

Too funny....I did that to my cat this past summer......I felt so bad, but many jokes were made.....good luck with the lady......

She's the one with the camera phone, so, sadly, no pics.
I would love to take him to a groomer, but it doesn't always work out that way, we're poor and I think we're a little embarassed to take him to the groomer, we went once, don't know why we haven't gone again. I'm very aware that it's bad for him to have knots and such, and i'm very concerned about it.

You know I was just thinking about doing that to my cats. Sure does beat brushing them 3-4 times a week.

I hate to sound snarky, but when someone says "too poor to take my dog to the groomer" I hear "too poor to own a dog."

I want pics or ratty shaven dog as a bday gift

I had a friend who shaved his cat at the beginning of each summer.

damn I did that to my dad...I mean he asked me to help trim his hair...

Yes, photos are greatly needed.

i think pictures might ruin the hilarious mental image i have in my head right now.

maybe try hair clippers next time

Uh oh. Bella is going to be so pissed. You had better run to the hills Nick!

OH. MY. GOD.
