Just wanted to share an event: BUFFY'S first haircut.
We live in Miami and it can get pretty hot so I opt to trim our dogs' hair during the summer. I'm happy to report that Buffy loved the electric clippers!

It was so funny...at first, when I turned the clippers on, she kept nipping at it and growling, but I kept telling her to sit still and hush. After about 3 minutes she stayed totally still and quiet and I was able to shave her in less than 10 minutes. I really think she wound up enjoying this grooming period.

For a little dog (she now weighs 3 lbs. 2 oz.) I sure clipped a lot of hair. Now she looks even tinier. I'll be posting a picture tonight or tomorrow.

NOW if I could only figure out how to shave Lady (my retriever) -- she's terrified of the electric clippers and it's always an ordeal (for everyone involved) when we do this.
