Cap is a QT!!!

3/30/2012

 
Well, it is official ... Cap is our Sponsored QT Dog.  He has his appointment the 17th to be fixed and get his rabies shot.  He no longer has to wear his cone and he is up and going without messing with his stitches.  Mom is going to visit him Monday and get lots of pictures to bring back.  This is him before when he had his bad leg.

One other thing happened that everyone might be interested in.... I got my new Shears in the mail today.  Yup you guessed it.  Since we had issues with getting the shearer here when we needed him Mom came up with a plan.  It involved new shears, me and Billy.  After talking to Billy he has agreed to teach me to shear.  So in the next week I will have a post about how it went.  Mom even bought me the Angora 20 tooth comb to go with it.... All I have to do is go pick it up.

Which shearer did you get? I'm thinking about getting the Premier 1 4000 if I can scratch together the funds for it. I'd rather buy one used for cheaper though, if I can find one.

On the front of the case it says Professional AC sheep clippers it says they are for "ewes, goats, alpacas and other memberof the family of the camels" It also says it works with oyster, clipmaster and other interchangable parts...
