I knew that would get your attention.
Well, Jack got his first haircut, he will be 7 months old on the 16th, and the groomer said he did very well (for a puppy) whatever that means. I asked her to please leave his eyelashes and the hair on his ears, because I just love that. He is so much happier now, and can go outside without picking up everything that falls from the trees in his hair. His coat is shinier too, and the silver has definately been hiding under all that black.
I worried for nothing, and the 2 hours spent fretting waiting for the call that he was done is over now.
Oh, and I think it made him feel mature, because he hiked his leg for the first time this morning, my boy has hit puberty.
Here are the before and after pictures.
