My girlfriend’s ShihTzu also got his “summer cut” yesterday. I don’t have a picture or I’d share. You’ll have to take my word for it. 🙂

In the first pic he looks like he’s saying “Wait! Don’t shoot me with my hair all a mess!” then the second “Ok, NOW you can take my pic!”

Very cute! 🙂

Our springers got their summer clips several weeks ago. They had been looking pretty shaggy, but now they’re very sharp, and their fur is starting to fell soft again instead of that prickliness it has right after the clip.

We call them “hound dogs” when they’re clipped, and pretend that the groomers gave us the wrong dogs back. 😃

All the same, I’ll be glad when they’ve got their feathers back next winter. So pretty!
