awww, I totally understand how you feel. My bf ALWAYS cut their hair and sometimes it's hard to put it into a topknot cuz it's too short. I tell him not to, but he still does it. I really have to start hiding the scissors!
I remember cutting things when I was young...I always cut my barbies' hair. haha I never had dogs or cats, but I'm sure I would probably have given them a haircut if I had one.
