Super Sunday

There aren't too many weekends left before the baby arrives, so Gilbert and I are at warp speed trying to get everything done around the house. On Friday our lawn mower broke, so we had to get a new one. It was an expense that we didn't need, but better to buy one now than have to buy one in a few months!

The snazzy new lawnmower

Gilbert taking it for a spin

Before testing out the new mower, we tested out some new dog clippers. We decided that it was just too expensive to take both the dogs to the groomers, so today after church we purchased some clippers. Who knew they were so expensive? Gilbert did all the dirty work - I just sat and watched and told him not to cut too much off! Ricco went first and was a pretty good sport for the first 20 minutes, but the next 40 were challenging!




For Roxie we only trimmed her with scissors and did her nails. She wouldn't let us get to the back nails so we are going to have to take her to the groomers for that.

The finished product

After Gilbert got done with both hair and nail cuts, he put both of them in the bathtub and gave them a good bath. No matter how clean you get dogs, they still end up smelling like wet dog in the end! Gilbert did a great job and we both agree that groomers deserve all the money they charge!

Ricco looks 100 times better and at least 10 pounds lighter!
