The Annual Pruning
The theme for our #WANAFriday post this week is pets, real or imaginary. I’ll confess that it was my idea, because I’m kind of a sucker for my furry boy.
Meet Burnsie!
Burnsie’s 3/4 lhasa apso, 1/4 mystery terrier, and in this picture, he desperately needs a haircut. Not as bad as my son does, but that’s another blog post. Anyway, happily for all of us (except me, cuz I like him best with long hair), this week we did his annual pruning.
TA DA!
Here he is post-pruning. See, he gets really hot in the summer with all that heavy hair, and he’s prone to heat rashes on his belly (which might be TMI, sorry), so in the late spring we take him to the groomers and have them do a whack job. Then over the rest of the year, he just goes in for baths and bang trims. My daughter LOVES him with short hair. I think he looks sorta sickly, though I will admit he smelled pretty ripe in the ‘before’ picture.
So that ‘s it for this week. Be sure to check out the other #WANAFriday pet posts, and have a great weekend!
Peace,
Liv

May I have a taste of cat food, please? Or people food. People food is good, too.
