We have a wonderful gentle natured dog that I adopted about 8 years ago. Unfortunately she was a bit neglected and was very timid when I brought her home. She had previously belonged to someone who lived nearby and I had spent the last few months making sure she had food and fresh water so we were already well acquainted.
Meisha is her name and I would say she is a cross between a collie and a husky. She is a beautiful mix of grays and white with a little black mixed in. Up until a couple summers ago I had always taken her in to be groomed and trimmed, but I had forgotten to make an appointment for her one time and the next thing I knew her groomer was booked up for the next couple of months.
Well my sister-in-law and I decided instead of looking for another groomer we would just take care of it ourselves. No big deal. We had decided it was just so darn hot and she always sheds so bad that we would really give her a trim and make her more comfortable.
I didn’t have any dog grooming clippers but my neighbors did and they volunteered them for the task. My first clue that this might not be a good idea was that although my neighbors had clippers...
