Please sit down before viewing.....shocking photos!!

You all know of Jonah's staph infection. Well, I decided to let those bad spots breathe and gave Jonah his first ever hair cut (except his head and beard). He had a lot more spots than I knew of. I think he looks really good (and sooooooo soft, who knew?), what do you think??

Jonah before

Jonah now

All three happy doods!!

Jonah looks fantastic! Cali's fur is also so much softer after it gets clipped. Great job Gene. I hope that helps his staph infection heal faster.

Leslie....think I'm getting the hang of the clippers, and I also got a longer cut blade.
I am amazed how soft he is now with all that hair gone.

Oh, WOW! He looks great. Smile

I'm sure he's much more comfortable in the summer heat too. I hope his spots get better soon!

Gene you are doing a fantastic job with the clippers. I've only used them a few times on Cali. She was okay with it, but not thrilled. The last time she freaked out so I had to hand scissor her. I'm wondering if the blade was dull and pulled a bit. What's your trick? I can't imagine clipping Cali's muzzle, she would really freak out.
