Today was round 17 (ok, really, round 5) of attempting to cut Parker's hair. The electric clippers that we bought aren't strong enough (we got "medium" and apparently we need "heavy duty") so I reverted back to using scissors, and did as much trimming as I could while outside at the park.
Clipping away:
It might be hard to see the difference in pics, but there's a big one. The fluff is gone, replaced by the softest little curls. It's like having a sheep.
Before: After:
If you look closely, you can see little white splotches in the grass. That's Parker's fur (I bagged as much as I could scrape up, and figure the rest will be gathered by birds to pad their nests.).
Parker! Get off my lap! (Maya is eating a sticker in these pictures. And, what's the deal with perspective? Why does Parker look gigantic in one picture and tiny in the other?)
You may remember that back in the day, Dave made a scrabble board shadowbox with the Nieder family names. After we got Parker, Dave realized that his name would fit across the bottom of the board . . . but, alas, we had thrown away our extra tiles. I mentioned this on a message board, and one of the lovely ladies (thank you!!!) there offered to mail us the letters . . . and here's the finished product!

anybody else added to the family had better start with a "t", "h" or "n" to build up the left side of the board!
