The doghouse

I have given my dog a really bad haircut

Or rather, I had to scalp him because DH gave him one skinny leg. He's very short all over apart from Groucho Marx eyebrows. If he could operate the phone he'd have the RSPCA on my arse :(

It's not good, is it? He's shivering pathetically and glaring at me.

I think he looks cute. What sort of breed(s) is he?

Cute! My Dad always says that the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about 2 weeks!

He's an f1b cockapoo. So a bit of a mutt really. Adorable and teddy bear like when he doesn't look like a sheared lamb.

At least it's even! He's very sweet anyway.

He looks fine to me. Was he particularly hairy beforehand?

Erm. Yes.

And that there is the famous Bastard Spaniel.

Ha! I suppose he is quite Gnasher-ish.

Lol he's fine if maybe a bit chilli when he goes out !!! He won't complain or ask if the cut makes him look old or fat :)

Thanks, Mylittle :) I am hot shit about matts. Can't bear to see dogs struggling under a huge confine of fur. I never let it get beyond an inch- inch and a half anyway, but this is by far the most radical. He woke me up at 6am because he was cold Blush

How do you know he woke you up because he was cold? He may have woken you up to say 'thanks for my haircut, forgot to tip'!
