Our Happy Little Vegemites

With our ridiculous record heat over here at the moment (it's sat right around the 40 degree or 102F for 5 days or so), I decided that I just couldn't put off giving Rex a haircut any longer! His black fur just attracts the heat, and even with having them inside for a few days while the fence was being fixed he was still so hot! He was not happy with the idea of getting a haircut though, and because of his resistance and my back just about breaking from 2+ hours of hunching over him cutting and shaving hair, his fur is still nowhere near as short as it should be! But it's better than nothing and I'm sure he feels better now. He was not a happy camper when I made him lay down and began to cut away the matted clumps on his back legs!  Most of the time I needed to have my leg across his head like this to keep him still.....he looks oh so impressed right??!  After a couple of hours, this is what my kitchen floor looked like....
