Oops...And A Lesson Learned

So you may remember this post from many months ago.  Unfortunately, it was so long ago that Todd had forgotten how bad it was and decided we should try our hands at it again in an effort to be frugal.  I decided to humor him but I was not optimistic.  We went out to the porch armed with scissors and nail clippers and 2 hours later (2 HOURS!) we had this...

Yes, that's a bandage on his little foot.  After an hour and a half of hair cutting, we accidentally clipped one of his little nails too short.  We felt sooooooooo bad.  We then did the math and decided we will definitely spring for the groomer from now on.  I have always taken him to the groomer about once every 4 or 5 months.  It usually costs around $50 including tip.  The two of us worked for 2 hours plus about 1 hour of clean up and doctoring.  50/2 people=25$/3 hours= around 8.00 an hour.  Subtract the cost of gauze, tape, and neosporin (around 6$) and you're left with 6.00 an hour.  So not worth it.  We will be leaving it up to the professionals from now on.

Sorry charles!!
