I have a few questions for you wonderful ladies!!!

My Charley's hair is usually kept quite short as we spent LOTS of time outside and with working shift work and taking care of my 2 young children I feel I owe it to Charley to keep her comfortable and maintenance free for us!

Now with winter coming, her hair has grown ALOT the past 2 months and well, she is due for a groom! Am I being mean to shave her puppy cut style for winter?? I have many sweaters and jackets for her. Even booties. I have NO intentions on leaving her outside for more than the time for her to do her business. What do you think??? Should I just get her face, butt and feet trimmed up and keep her body long enough to stay warm??? Right now her hair on her body is about 1 1/2 inches long. I know that is not enough but her face isquite long and covering her face alot. She hates having her hair tied away from her eye's too!!!!

Ahhhh I just don't want to freeze my little baby this winter!!!!

Any suggestions?????

Thanks
