Another First for Stella the Schnoodle!!!!!

Did your Mom ever cut your hair as a kid?

Mine Did.

Or did you ever cut it yourself???

You can understand why Stella would be a little apprehensive about me cutting her hair.  In an effort to save a little $$$…Mama decided to give “Home Grooming” a try today.

Who Wants a Haircut?

"Not me Mama!" (Schnoodle shakes her head)

"I'm sure Papa doesn't want you to do this Mama."

Stella's looking a little Shaggy lately.

Her feet look HUGE, but it's just all hair.

So here we go.......

I felt a little like Edward Scissorhands (one of my favorite movies-See VodPod box to the right!)!  Since I didn’t have a proper table, Stella opted for laying down on the kitchen floor.  I spun her around….flipped her on her side….fed her treats and praise, praise, praised her!!!  I’m not even sure how long it took….all I know is that I was covered in Schnoodle hair…and Stella was not.

It doesn't look like much......

But it was.....ooooohhhhh...it was!

There was even some of her cute little white chest hair.

I think Mama did a pretty good job!!!!

Welll....maybe not so much on her legs...that can be fixed.

And maybe I went a little too short in some spots....and a little too long in others.

I think I did a good job on her chest/tummeh area!

As promised....I took her to the Dog Park afterwards....and then she got a Chewey.

And Mama had a well earned frosty cold adult beverage!!!

I think….given it was my first attempt….all turned out pretty well.  Tomorrow I’ll get Papa to help me while I trim up around her cute little face…and try to straighten out the hair on her legs and feet.  All in all Stella…..I think you turned out beautiful….it could have been worse.

A Camel? Really?

Stella could rock this cut!!!!!

I’ll post more photos after I’ve got her all trimmed up tomorrow.
