Eeeeek!! I think I am going to do it!

[lovespandp]

I think I am going to make an apt to get Pnut shaved...

I have been "trying" to grow his hair out and it is not even "that" long! I wasnt able to give him a bath yesterday bc I was sick (still feel crappy) and he is a raggamuffin!! Plus DH gave him bites of his shake and his beard this morning sticks so bad and it is all sticky!!

I was going to wait a couple months ( some of you know I hacked his ear hair off lol and I was going to wait it out so it can grow a little) but I think Im going to make him an apt!!

Eeeeeek what should I do? Wait a couple months? Or have a clean shaven dog???

:rolley es:

Don't do anything rash. I think you should just give him a bath and think on it some more.

Hope you feel better soon!

<---------- this is him current


This will be him when he gets groomed.

LoL Thanks- I think I am ready to shave him... The last time he was shaved hmmm like 9 months ago! I think it will be a good change!!

Plus he looks so young and puppish when he is shaved

You could go for a modified Schnauzer/West Highland cut. The skirt and legs stay long but the neck, back get shaved and cut the face gets cut short like a puppy cut. I have three of mine done this way and I love it. They still look like Yorkies but cuts back on grooming that I have to do.

Don't feel bad....you are definitely not the only one with a raggamuffin. Brandi looks like a little raggamuffin too but to be honest, I actually love the look on her especially when she is just waking up....it's so darn cute. But as the weather starts getting warmer, I am going to get her shave down a tad.

Ya I have seen that- I like it, but I dont think I would like it on him LoL. I just get him in a full shave, but she leaves the hair on his legs kinda shaggy and then she makes his feet look like the grinch LoL I always get his face in a round puppy cut-

He always looks so cute, just like the attached pic!

LoL I love that raffamuffin look too!! It is getting warmer here too so I am going to HAVE to shave him down in a couple months anyways-

He looks cute both ways I was just thinking the same thing about Couver and Khloe... I gave them baths last night and was admiring their long hair, but was thinking about how much faster they dry when their hair is short. It's a lot less work having their hair shorter, but I'm enjoying the shaggy look right now. PLUS, we just got snow last night, so we will be keeping the hair until it warms up... You probably don't have that problem in Cali though!

He is cute no matter how his hair is cut but I admit that pic of him looks like a puppy..

Thank you- Yes when they are shaved it is so easy!! Ya we never get snow LoL- It is getting pretty warm here, warm enough where I can shave him and he wouldn’t be cold- He has sweaters and jackets and jammies to keep him warm that don’t fit him when his hair is long LoL!!

Very exciting! He is going to look cute Isn't it so much fun being able to change their 'look'? I don't think I could ever own a shorthaired dog because I enjoy the different looks they can have with short or long hair.

Ya it will be a nice change!! DH is super excited bc he loves Pnut when he has short hair- He thinks he looks cuter that way-

I love being able to grow it out and then cut it off LoL- It kinda is depressing, I think I will be a little sad when I take him in Wed- I have been "growing" his hair out for a bit- It will be bitter sweet I think- I will just need to remember there is always next season!!

Im not sure about Couver and Khloe, but Peanut is really heat sensitive in the summer. When it is hot and he isnt shaved he will not tolerate the outside So he has to be shaved in the summer...
