Mitch's Big Boy Hairecut!

The temperatures here are climbing to 80 today and mom was just itching to give us both haircuts. Yesterday I had MY day of beauty. I feel so much better. I sure do love my grooming sessions! I'm so much cooler and have so much more energy!

Today was Mitch's turn. It's his day to become a big boy! Mom has been stressed all morning because she didn't want to "lose her baby"! Get over it mom, it's just a haircut!

Mom carried Mitch upstairs to our grooming room because Mitch doesn't climb stairs yet. Here's the last shot of Mitch with puppy fur! Can I get you a tissue mom??!!

Mom has never groomed a dog this young before. When I was younger, I went to the "real" groomer's for the first 3 or 4 times before I said "enough of this all-day-away-from-mom stuff"! Mom didn't know how Mitch was going to respond to the clippers. The first time he was on the grooming table about a month ago was just for a quicky sissors job and to trim his nails. He wouldn't stand up so mom knew that she'd have to figure out how to accomplish this. She did her research online and discovered that if you sling a pup right in front of his back legs, you'll get what you want. She did and it worked! Here's an in progress picture.

Mom has also never groomed a little boy before and I could hear here asking Mitch what am I supposed to do with this paraphernalia (meaning his private area)!

Geez ma, how's Mitch supposed to know that! You'd best figure it out quickly!!!

Mitch was really a good boy for his new haircut adventure! He was very patient with mom and I could hear mom telling him how handsome he was - almost to the point that I wanted to puke! Mom took a picture of Mitch will all of his fur on the floor. So how do you feel Mitch? A lot cooler huh! Told you you'd love it!

Then I hear mom wailing that her baby is gone. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa And in the next breath - "but you look sooooooooo cute Mitch! Such a big boy! What till Maggie sees you and wait till Daddy sees what I've done!"

So down the stairs they come and mom is telling Mitch that it's cookie time! Yummy! I get one too, right mom?!

Okay, it's my turn now mom, right?! Mom did get a picture of both of us getting cookies but she said it was too indecent to post to the blog because Mitch was too excited, if you get my drift! Gee thanks a lot Mitch! You seem to be taking over MY blog today!

After our cookies, we started to play biteyface. hummmmmmmm not as much fur to grab onto anymore!

My little brother is growing up to be quite the handsome big boy! But I'm still the boss! Just you remember that!

Until next time..............

Love ya lots,

Maggie
