Why Fred has gotten his last professional haircut
So we've had the great debate every summer about cutting Fred's hair. Without AC to cool off in, he really suffers in the summer. But Chris has heard the story about a billion times, that I know dogs who've been shaved and ended up with sunburn. Not good. A trim I'm ok with, but no shaving.So last August I took him to Petco to get trimmed. They did a good job, but the people were rude and Fred was FREAKED OUT by the time I picked him up. I told Chris that if he wanted to get Fred trimmed for this summer, he was going to have to take him. As it turns out, there's a groomers around the corner from where Chris works. So he took Fred today. He told them the sunburn story and how his wife would kill him if Fred came back with as short a haircut as Chris has.
Fred now looks like this:
Fingers are crossed that after the June shedding season, he'll grow his coat back to a reasonable length. At least there won't be as many furballs this summer.

poor fred.
still looks mighty cute.
how's ginger?
Ginger is pretty awesome. She's all lab, but it's an interesting contrast.
They are both super awesome to MTB with. It's perhaps one of my greatest pleasures in life.

I have to say Fred doesn't seem to appreciate his new hair cut. I certainly think it was a great idea, hopefully he'll come around to the same conclusion. Just don't allow him to see any mirrors...

Ya know, as freaked out as we were, Fred has been non-plussed by the whole thing. And it looks better every day as it grows in. But the difference in how he handles heat is dramatic. He's like a different dog, which is nice.
