Afraid so...
She gets way too hot on her little walks. With our heat and humidity in the danger zone of the heat index, we don't dare not get her a shorted do.
Plus, she's such a wiggle worm that it's hard to keep her still enough to "tolerate" a good brushing and her hair is tending to mat worse now that it's getting longer.
I know it's going to probably be a heart stopper when I first see her new look. I think she'll probably look older and much tinier (although she's 5+ pounds.
It was funny watching her with the big carrot. She never did eat all of it but it got so dirty from her playing with it that it had to be discarded. I've tried several times to get a good shot of her with the mini carrots but I still can't catch her unawares. She looks like a little old man (an old country doctor) that my husband and I used to know when we were children. He always had an unlit stump of a cigar in the corner of his mouth whenever you saw him outside the clinic. She carries that mini carrot just like that old country doctor did and it makes us laugh out loud.
And...
That's when I "lose" the shot because she does not like us laughing at her at all (which in itself is amusing because she does this little breathy huff of a sigh much like a disgruntled teenager) and of course we laugh even harder...LOL |
