I'm a Jackass
I have no excuse. Well, I take that back. I just wanted what was best for Casey, to be able to see his freaking food and water dish, is that such a bad thing? I had the best intentions in mind.
See what I'm talking about? This was on Tuesday night.
For some reason this pic kinda makes him look like a mutant Bison Frise, but he's all Goldendoodle, all 75lbs and STILL growing!
Well, you know what they say about good intentions...if they were horses the streets would be lined with horse shit.
I'm not a pet groomer by any stretch of the imagination. But I thought to myself; "Self, how hard could it be to trim just a wee bit of hair around Casey's eyes which would enable the poor dear to see?" And the Goldendoodle book I have (which I threw across the room about ten minutes ago), and the very informative web site had step-by-step instructions on how to go about this, safely.
Oh hush, I didn't maim my dog.
It's just that the he kinda looks...well, how do I put this? Hmmm, oh hell, alright, he looks like he has one HUGE eye and one teeny one. It's not even. It's not anywhere close to even. It's like totally off the charts UNEVEN.
I'd take a photo but one of you would probably report me to the ASPCA.
That sounds a little like my last Supercuts experience, back in 1987. Hey! Maybe you could get a job at Supercuts!

Oh, HAY-ELL no. Here in Exile, you could name your price if you'd just sign with Fantastic Sam's.

oh go ahead and post the picture. He can't look worse than oliver wendell dog (our old sheep dog) when we first moved back south and shaved him for the summer! x-hubby thought it would be better for him. It was so sad! Admitedly he was cooler, but I laughed at him raucously everytime I looked at him, couldn't help it!

Deb and 3under2 - I'll post one if I haven't had a nervous breakdown trying to get this damned new DVD player hooked up. After reconfiguring the cords into every possible hole available and then buying an "S" cable, the damned thing still isn't working! I am begining to think the player itself is crap!

Hey you were providing him a service.
At least now he can see.
Just don't let him near any mirrors!

hahaha... I won't report you! You were doing what you thought was best as a doggy mommy.

I cut my dad's horses' bangs a couple of times. Did 'em a favor, too, but jeez -- did they ever look silly. The horse equivalent of "Dumb and Dumber," especially Pete, the stallion.
