Defluffing super fluff.

So this time of the year my boss, aka the schnoodle get's extra fluffy. I let his fur grow during the winter. He kinda puffs out, but gradually he starts to matt as well. So starting in February I have to snip off a clump or two.

Come march though it's time to trim him back like the shrubbery. He doesn't care for it and generally sneaks off when I look the other way. And so I keep a scissors handy and trim a little here and there when he's unsuspecting like when he's laying next to me. The problem is that it's about a week long process. One day he was laying on his left side and so he got a trim on his right plus I got one leg before he escaped. Wednesday i got the right side of his head. You get the idea. So he tends to look a little goofy during this process. I let him run during the winter as I'm a little remote and there are other neighborhood yippers out as well, and he can commune with his kind. He likes that. But i wonder what the neighbors think when he's wandering around out there with partial hair cuts. i enjoy that thought.
