Salty Dog's Shaggy Hair-Do! The Before Picture

This is Salty Dog or as Ford sometimes refers to: our Death Row Dog. We rescued Salty from the local county dog pound a little over six years ago. Do you think Salty Dog could use a haircut? Not to be confused with my own hair! Salty doesn't have a problem growing his fur; it seems to grow quite fast. He was trimmed very close the first week of April. Now it is the end of June and he is due for a grooming. Here’s the “before” picture. Hope Ford will take him to the groomer's soon! What a handsome devil of a 7 ½ year old he is!! And complain as we may about his having to have haircuts it certainly beats shedding. Salty doesn't shed!!! ac Well, Salty got his haircut but other than being able to see his eyes now I kind of miss our miniature sheep(dog)... I don't know if you can tell from the pictures or not but Salty wasn't in the best of moods. They treat him fine at the groomers, I just think he prefers the "Beatles" look over the "Punk" look. Try as I might Salty wasn't going to smile for the camera. In fact he seemed quite put out with the whole ordeal. It took a car ride to finally bring him out of his funk.

Geez, it was only a haircut Salty.

I like his haircut. Pom Pom is a Shih Tzu and who has time for long, flowy hair? Not the L family so she also sports a nice short summertime do - all year long. She is cute when it gets a little long with some wave to it but we cut her back down again. Salty is a lucky pooch who can carry off either look.

Awwwww, Salty is cute with either one of his rock star looks! We have a "death row" dog, too (rescued one day before his scheduled execution). They're the best, aren't they? They seem to know they were rescued.

Note to Salty from a survivor of a haircut: don't worry, it will grow back!

Nollie and Salty could compared doggie day spa experiences - The stories they could tell! He does look a little ticked off but he doesn't look like a crusty ol salty dawg anymore.

I loved your entry about your carousel day, Ford. It sounds like a day to always be remembered.
Take care,
Marsha
