Pocket's Home Day Spa!

Several family members and friends have commented on Pocket's fluffy mane of well, fluff. Some have said, "Why can't she seeeee!" or "What a sad looking thing, why don't you cut her hair?!" Well, after several months of people saying this, I did! Well, kinda. I really only trimmed her face and back end a bit. First, I enticed her into the bathroom by promising treats and a nice baffers. She ran away once, but I soon found her and carried her to the tub and plopped her in. Needless to say, she was not too happy to be there. Also, I've realized that it was easier when we only had a shower to put her in in Korea and I just got wet with her. But, this time I stayed out of the tub and it was much harder, sigh. I really should have taken a picture of her in the bathtub because she was the most homely thing I've ever seen; like she looked like a dog that had lived on the streets in a monsoon her whole life. Literally. If someone had walked in at that moment, they probably would have wondered why I had a big dust bunny in the tub, why it was moving, and why hadn't I taken care of that ugly old thing already! Sigh, now I really wish I would've taken a picture, maybe next time! For now, you'll have to do with the before and after pictures.

Before:

Although Jon did puff up her face for the picture, I have
to say as a dog mother, this thing looks gross!



After:

What do you think?! I do have to say that I don't think I did too bad of a job (especially if you are aware of my childhood adventure of 'Crew-Cut-Barbie...)! I didn't take too long cutting it precisely, but it works for her with all her fluff left over. Much cuter, wouldn't you say, you can actually tell that she has eyes. It's a wonder how she still has them after running into several things the last few weeks such as doors, hinges, walls, and other various things.
