Before and after - the dog!

OK...not a real before and after! It's just scruffy mutt!! I have been very busy with lots of projects this weekend and this was my first one.... my little scruffy mutt...Ben. He was well overdue a hair cut but it is so expensive... $70-$75 a time, so time for a bit of DIY. While I was out and about collecting supplies for varies projects, I picked up a pair of dog clippers. "Can't be too hard, can it?!"

Cute and scruffy, he is a maltese shitzu cross

Not sure if he can actually see where he is going

Instructions on the clippers said he must be washed, dried and brushed out before clipping.... not happy!!

Relieved that the ordeal is almost over, it is winter so I clipped him on the second biggest comb so that he would still have a fairly long coat.... not quite as easy as I thought it would be!

After.... well maybe I could do with some more practice... he still looks a scruffy mutt but at least he can see!

I had more luck with some of my other projects.
