I CAN DO IT.  This is what the LUCKYDOG video said.  It said I could take a dog like this…

And  do something like this… (ok, I am exaggerating a little bit)..

So today we bought a pet grooming set.  After spending $40 plus dollars to get the dog groomed every few weeks, the girls and I decided to try grooming Levi on our own to save money.  In addition, the video said that…

GROOMING RAISES SELF ESTEEMING, maintains HEALTH AND HELPS BONDING.     And because we want our dog to have a healthy self-esteem, we decided to try this out.

So here comes the bonding…

The bath was the best part. Look how Levi’s self-esteem has excelled.

Possibly we cut the hair a little short…so we found it necessary to put a sweater on him.  We had a few laughs a long the way, but for the most part we argued on how to shave him properly so the bonding time wasn’t very enjoyable.  After two hours of styling, here was the end result.

He looks cute huh?

Well, we covered his body with a sweater because, frankly his haircut looks a little wrong.

The girls and I decided that grooming a dog is much harder then it looks. The girls said he needs to wear a sweater for awhile, especially if we take him for a walk. They are a little embarrassed over the bald spot I shaved into the side of his back.  Umm…it took me awhile to get use to the trimmers.

I am guessing after a couple of drinks though…he might look like this to some of the ladies.

Oh well.  You get what you pay for.

At least hair grows back.
