I feel so blessed that Topanga is a non-shedding dog. Her gorgeous mane is one of the many reasons she’s the perfect pup.
But it’s getting warmer so the child requested some hair maintenance. Garr & I weighed our options. Do we spend $50 at the groomer or do we dare try something different? Something we have never dared to do. Cut her hair ourselves…
Seeing as I’m thrifty as all get out, I decided we’d give it a go. & when I say we, I mean Garr will cut her hair. & thus, Gawwy’s Homemade Haiwcuts was born.
I really thought he’d be able to pull this off, but our poor child looks like that naked cat in the Austin Powers movies. I’m like a little embarrassed by the sight of her. I guess we’ll just have to take her out after dark so the neighbors don’t see.
As a mother, I should tell her that looks don’t matter, but she’s just really frightening…

Your dog looks cute. They all look a bit naked when they’re newly clipped. Must give the paella a try, I do love me a good paella.
