Accidents DO happen


oh boy, i am not real proud of my actions in this post...

Since Been is old now, i need to help him with some of the basic grooming techniques he used to take care of himself. I brush him, and snip off any matted fur when it gets out of control. Sometimes, i get a little snip-happy. For instance, most of last summer, his hind quarters were kind of bald.

Yesterday i spotted a big old matted fur lump near the back of his ear, and it HAD TO GO. Luckily, i got it pretty easily. Unluckily, i also got almost ALL of the whiskers on the left side of his face! Doh. Do those grow back?

Beaner will get new whiskers. They do grow all the time. The ones that are cut, will remain that way, until they fall out. Kali used to smell candles all the time, and singe her eye whiskers and nose whiskers. Aren't they supposed to be scared of fire?? He may be a bit off balance. The whiskers help with balance. But I think he will make it. K~
