New 'Do

I gave Boone a haircut yesterday. He was in desperate need of a bath and groom so I figured I might as well give him a trim. I have been kind of lax about the brushing lately- he actually had two mats!!! I felt awful. One behind his ear, and one on his front leg. Geesh. What kind of Mom am I!!!


Before- looking scruffy.


After- He always looks so fluffy after a groom but I did want to get rid of some of the length. I made an oops though and used the wrong blade....so he's a bit shorter than normal but it is only hair and it will grow back!



Wendy made a comment about the fact that now you can see his "Polka Dots" i.e his merle pattern...with his long coat it is hard to see...

Uummmmyes, he is a bit shorter than usual...still very cute tho. I hope it doesn't get cold and snow. You will have to get him a coat.

Those ears are approaching Papillon cuteness! I like his new look!

I didn't realize before that Boone had some merle markings!
He looks wooly like a lamb!

I like his scruffy look, but it is cool to see the merley bits. I wouldn't feel bad about a couple of mats. Any of my dogs that have had long, fine hair end up with some here and there in no time flat.
