Cougar Cut!

Cougar got his first haircut. As you can see from the pictures he was LONG overdue! The whole process took three days, a little here, a little there. The first batch I was able to cut while he sat and ate chocolate chips out of a cup. After a few snips that wasn't good enough and he would only sit still if he was holding the whole bag. That didn't take long to lose its touch, however, and the next successful tactic was letting him vacuum up his own hair after each snip. After each individual cut he would have to vacuum the hair up by himself. Even something as exciting as that lost its magic after a few minutes, though, and that was the end of day one. Day two brought success when he fell asleep in my lap twice. I had someone bring me the scissors and was able to cut both sides of his head while he snoozed. On day three, I gave Doug a haircut, and guess what? Cougar thought that was cool and climbed up into Doug's lap and wanted me to cut his hair, too! Go figure!
