Cooper's New Do!

Cooper would normally go to the groomer and great a nice hair cut and his nails trimmed. That was in our last life! Now that we are living in Germany we decided that this was something that we could take on for several reasons. 1. We really don't know where a groomer is in Attendorn and 2. why not save the money and do it our selves. So last week I decided to use our new buzzer clippers and trim his body. it took about 2 hours and cooper didn't like one minute of it, but in the end it turned out pretty well. Then we still had his legs and face that had to be cut with the scissors. We decided to so this few days later so he could have a little break. Cooper hates the scissors so his part was a bit more difficult. I held cooper and cut around his face and ears while Jeff entertained him with treats. It was quite a project! So now Cooper has a new haircut, it's a little short around his face and a little long around his body. But with time and practice we will get better at it. I have a new found respect for Groomers. I am not sure how they get everything so neat and perfect or how they get the dogs to hold still! Here is a photo of Cooper after the haircut. He is still the cuttest little guy!
