I have cut Molly's hair a few times during the winter to save money. It's not her favorite thing to sit on my bathroom counter and get her hair but I bribe her with treats so she sits for a little bit. If Ryan is home, he gets to be my special little helper and hold her still for me.
In the past I feel comfortable saying that I did some what of a decent job. Now I shouldn't open a dog grooming business anytime soon, but I thought I was pretty good at trimming her. But once it stayed hot for a week or so I decided to treat her to a day at the doggy spa. Who am I kidding, she hates going there, but she looks so cute when she is groomed. Well it's been a few months since that happened.

On Sunday I got the idea to trim her up. The main thing I wanted to trim was around her face. But I thought she might like to have her hair a little shorter since it's hot. That's where I went wrong...
*Notice the shaved bare chest area, by her back leg, all the skin showing.
She looks like she has some sort of disease. Believe me the pictures do her justice. I don't have clippers that glide over her and give her a good cut so I grab hair pull it up from her and trim that. I did it once right by her leg and realized then that it was a bad idea but I had to keep going to try to make it look even or at least I thought I had to keep going.
We went to dinner at my parents house they noticed but didn't want to say anything, they were trying to be polite. We had a good laugh.
Later that night we meet up with Ryan's brother David and his family. They asked if Molly had something wrong with her coat or a disease. We started laughing and once we told them what happened we died laughing.
So if you see Molly and she looks a little...different...you know what happened. Don't make her feel more self conscious. :) I'm going to stick to doing human hair and steer clear of cutting dog hair. Lesson Learned
