For all of you dog lovers out there, you better think twice before ever getting a solid white dog. I have a 10 month-old West Highland Terrier named Finnegan, who is impossible to keep clean. As much as he hates baths, you would think he would figure it out sooner or later that dirt=bath. About a month ago, I took Finnegan to Petsmart to have his hair and nails cut and a bath. After waiting for several hours I received a phone call from the grooming department and the girl proceeded to tell me that she could not cut his hair because everything she came near him with the clippers he would do an alligator roll, but that she was able to cut his nails and give him a bath and I could come pick him up. When I arrived there to get him, there was another owner picking up their dog, which happened to be a Mastiff. So in my mind I was wondering…”You mean to tell me you can handle this massive dog but you cant cut the hair of a puppy who weighs no more than 10-15pounds, this is your job!”
Well since it is getting warmer here in Southside Virginia, I decided that Finnegan needed to lose some of his hair and have a bath to keep the fleas and ticks away. So I took the job upon myself and lets just say to be such a little dog he sure is a handful. I could not use the clippers and instead had to trim him up with scissors. I guess my next option is to have the vet do it.
