A Mighty Change of Hair

Hair cuts here, hair cuts there, hair cuts everywhere! In the past 4 weeks, Mark, me, and Buckwheat have all gotten hair cuts. The first was Mark's hair cut, as you may remember from the entry titled "Mark's Last Supper". Then I got a haircut, which I did not mention on here because it was a surprise for Mark, here is a picture of my haircut the night I got it (sorry my eyes are different sizes in this picture!..yep, sorry I just made you look.)

Then there is Buckwheat. I always worry when it comes to cutting his hair because I cut it with sissors! It's hard to cut a whole little body of fur and trying to make it even. My goodness, maybe I should go hair school. Also, whenever dogs you love get hair cuts, you worry about their essense being cut off with their hair!! The dog I had growing up (Tapper), whenever she would come home from the groomers, I would do my "Tapper Test" to see if she was the same dog and they didn't just give me a skinnier dog. It probably sounds silly, but it's better if you see the process/haircut...then you see the change as it happens and you know for certain there was no kennel switcheroo. Before I got started, I took a before shot: (aka: The Great Depression, dog migrant picture)

and an after shot. Mark wanted to see what he looked like without the schnauzer beard, so I chopped it... and Mark misses Buckwheat's essense. Fortunately, he's still plain adorable.
