Pepper's first grooming

Sorry I dropped this for so long. I've been so busy! Much has happened.
Yesterday Marc and I tried to give Pepper her first grooming. Bad Idea. Let me tell you.
We decided this needed to be done because it was getting pretty hot out, and she was becoming a little ragamuffin. Also, last weekend she got a dread lock on her chest and while apparently trying to scratch herself she got her canine tooth caught in said dread lock, while we were in the car. It took a solid four or five minutes to get it unhooked. Needless to say I really freaked out seeing her in such a funny position and yelping in pain all the way in the back of the Subaru. So yesterday we started grooming her, she did great at first, we held the clippers up to her body and she got used to the buzz of it all. We were attempting the "breeders" clip. Thats where you cut the schnauzers tops part, leave the bottom long, and cut the hair on the head, leaving the eyebrows. Took us a good 30 minutes and we got the back area cut, but when it came to the head, she was just not having it, at all. About 30 minutes of trying to get the clippers close enough to her head to help her see there was no danger, we finally gave in. I have never heard a dog squeal like that before. So now I have an adorable puppy with a shaved back and a pouffy head. I have a covert operation planned where when she passes out at my feet one night I'm going to go at her with some scissors. I'll let y'all know how that goes.
