Don't laugh... or do, I certainly did. Thank goodness Apollo is the world's most docile dog, because he did fabulously no matter what I did.
I wanted to do a full groom but apparently our Wahl human hair clipper didn't do anything for his back. I went over the same part of his back *six* times, and it only thinned the hair, but not noticeably.
So I decided to just go ahead and do his face because it was pretty furry.
Sorry for the not so great quality, I just had time to grab my iPhone before I handed over the bully stick reward. Anyway, his hair was out of control, he had that fan of hair in front of his eyes (Missy never has this problem) and his beard.
I went over his entire face and the sides (lips included), top knot I just thinned down, and I did the side of his neck by his ears.
I didn't do his beard like I was planning because we suddenly had six deer run in front of our house and the other two started going nuts. Apollo got antsy after that so I let him go.
Here's the end result.
I missed a part of his eyebrow, which bothers me but is fixable.
The funny part is I got a little over confident and I may have given Apollo a teeny tiny bald spot on the other side. I'll try to get another photo to add to this later of it. He doesn't care, he's just happy he can see properly again. I'm a little embarrassed but I figured for my first time around I can't be too upset.
