Spa Day

A week before the fair, I gave Rusty a bath, a haircut, and a hoof trimming. Let me tell you, not only did Rusty get a bath, but I did too! First, we gave him a bath to get all the dirt off his fur and skin and to soften up his hair so the blades don't get worn down. Then, we blow dried him so he wouldn't be wet. Cutting wt hair is also bad for the blades. Then we gave him the actual haircut. He did NOT like the vibration or the buzzing sound of the razor. But, somehow, we got through it. After he got his haircut, we gave Rusty a hoof-trimming. It doesn't hurt them, but he acted like we were chopping his feet off. Goats are drama queens and kings.
