I got the dog clippers back out.... oh yes, my friends!

Despite the TERRIBLE results from buzzing PJ Joey last time, I went for it again!

Here's the old pic from the first time I ever buzzed her (because, hey, it will STILL make you laugh!)
And here's a few after pics from this go around.


























The secret to my success this time? I refused to give up. Even though from start to finish it took TWO HOURS and we had three escapes (er.... I mean "breaks" for PJ to rest and run around) I got back on the wagon every time until she looked halfway presentable.

And check out these bad boys. It appears that mosquitoes FEASTED on my ankles the entire time I was grooming the Peej. Agh!
































In other news, we had the BEST Labor Day! We spent it in Starkville and had the good fortune to watch the Dawgs win. I love the sound of cowbells in the autumn.

Also while visiting the kinfolk, McRae showed us a new search engine to use ( don't quit reading just because this part sounds super nerdy!) and while fiddling around with it, we discovered that on September 6, 2010, I turned 10,000 days old! How bizarrely fantastic is that? So if you are born after me (April 21, 1983) and want to see when you hit the big 10,000th day on earth, go to www.wolframalpha.com and type in your birthday.

I'm impressed with your grooming!! Our first time grooming our collie was equally as funny as your first try! I think it took us a week to get her all even and semi-decent looking!! :)
