On June 26th, I shaved Mindy.  This is a yearly ritual in which I remove 3 dogs’ worth of fur from my one small dog.  To say that this is NOT Mindy’s favorite activity is a major understatement.

To shave a furry dog like Mindy, you must first cut off most of the fur with scissors.  I think she likes this less than the actual shaving.  You would not believe how much fur can grow on such a small dog!  Here is a before shot, so you can see my furry little beast:

Rich happened to be in the yard taking pictures when I finished the scissors portion of the clipping, and he got a shot of her between scissoring and shaving.

I didn’t get any pictures of me actually shaving her.  She barely holds still and submits to the shaving…I didn’t want to add insult to injury, and photograph her misery.  However, here are some shots from after it was over.  She was well rewarded for her patience, and was so much happier and cooler!

Good dog.
