Sam’s Makeover
Meet Sam, the unkept hippie dog:

Sam has a beautiful coat and very long, wonderful hair. I know this because most of that hair is in disgusting little tumbleweed piles around my house. It’s getting hotter, see, and so we thought it would be a good idea if Sam had a bit of work done:

Pull back a little; get the whole effect.

Sam! Got a haircut! It’s been getting much, much warmer - hallelujah, praise the Lord, it is meet and right so to do - and so we figured our poor dog was getting pretty hot under all that beautiful fur. Also, he was shedding. A lot. So I took him to PetSmart one day, and viola! A whole new dog.

Not only does he look completely different, there has been a marked change in his demeanor over the last week. He’s got a lot more energy and he’s very, very happy most of the time. He’s just, in general, a peppier dog. Unfortunately the groomers left his tail intact, so he does look quite ridiculous, but I suppose it’s a small price to pay when you’re that uncomfortable.

He’s much happier now that he’s not some dirty hippie.

He looks lovely now. Did before, too. I’m glad he feels better.
And about that “dirty hippie” comment, may I just say, “Hey, I resemble that remark!”

He’s a beautiful dog! Don’t worry about the tail, because it looks great, too.
