My son, now pushing 50, still talks about the summer he was 9 and I cut his hair. He wore a hat, a "doo rag" or stayed home for nearly half the summer, afraid that his friends would laugh at him more than his mother did.....
Since that one time attempt, I won't even clip the dog's feet. He can track in mud if DW can't/doesn't make him an appointment at the "dog beauty shop"... I will say that when he comes home from being "groomed" he prances around the house with his "new look" and "clean smell"... That is until the first time I throw a ball into the lake, then he's "himself again", all smelly, wet and tracking mud into the house.... DW, well she just shakes her head and gives me "that look"... It's NEVER the dog's fault.....
