I never liked getting my fur cut. It’s just too weird losing all that nice fluff. You see, I’ve got really fluffy fur, not like my pal who’s got a short scruffy coat. So he never gets trimmed up, and that leaves me with double the share of time spent clipping and snipping.
My pal usually corners me and does this terrible thing. It’s not like I have any choice in the matter. All I can do is run and hide, and hopefully she’ll forget or at least get too tired to carry out her sinister plans.
It’s a fight in the beginning. It has to be a fight or my friend would be doing this way more often. Same as the bath, only this one includes the bath. It’s like they plan everything terrible to do to you and pile it up on the same day.
So it’s terrible, the tugging and the sound that the scissors make is just scary. Clip, clip, snip, snip and then my fur falls off. I’ve seen it, and you don’t know if that’s your tail or maybe an ear or worse. It just leaves you wondering
After double checking the mirror to make sure my ears are still perky and my tail still wags right, I get to enjoy the feeling of being lighter and so free. It’s sort of refreshing, but I don’t like dealing with all the soap and scrubbing that comes right after this.
Oh yes, one can never forget the bath. Like I told you before, my pal piles up all the things that annoy me. This is really hard to run from though. No getting away. You will get a bath and you will not like it. Just a warning if you’re up for a trim soon.
The only part I really really don’t like is the clipping of the claws. I need that for digging and the such like, but she doesn’t listen. It’s hard to dig holes in the yard for a while, but it grows back soon enough. This is when I rely on my friend to dig for me, and it doesn’t take much more than telling him there’s a bone somewhere buried there.
Now all this comes upon me because I’m super fluffy and I like to roll around in the yard all the time. I’ve barked with other dogs and not everyone has to endure such things. But if you’re fluffy like me and you have to go through the gauntlet, do you have any hints on how not to get the soap in your eyes?
