Pet Grooming

Last summer, we paid a pet groomer eighty dollars to shave our long-haired and very overheated cat. This year, we saved the 80 bucks and did it ourselves. It was late at night and we’d been drinking. I guess we got bored, because we woke up midday Saturday to find the cat with its back shaved, Friar Tuck-style. We finally finished the job last night. I think we found it far more amusing than he did. Now he’s prancing around in his new lightweight summer coat like a little kid on a beach. And he looks fucking ridiculous.
