I met a strange dog on my trails today.
She was very friendly and wanted to play.
Most dogs I know just want to check me out.
It’s hard to find one who wants to play with me before even getting a friendly sniff.
While I appreciated the play, I still had to check her out.

Hey, wait a minute.
This isn’t a strange dog.
I know this dog.
This is my girlfriend Lucy!
With a haircut!
It’s a good thing a girl’s smell doesn’t change when she changes her hairdo.

You are a funny one not even being able to recognise your girlfriend. I am taking two of my furry family to the vets next week for a new hairdo. Hope I will know them when they have been done xxxx

Patrecia, maybe I should get a new summer hairdo – but I’m afraid somebody might try to put ribbons in my hair. Guess I’ll keep the same old style.

Lucy’s haircut looks sleek and summery! I’m happy she still smells like herself.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, I don’t know what I’d do if Lucy smelled different. I might think I had another new girlfriend.

Marina, the new summer look definitely comes in handy around here. But I think I’ll keep my look the same anyway.

It does a girl good to get a new do now and then. I hope you told her how nice she looks.

Ooooh! Your girl friend Lucy got her hair cut! She must feel much cooler now! Does she do it every Summer? or it was the first time to get her hair cute?

Kevin, this is the first time since I’ve known Lucy that she’s gotten a haircut. Her person thought it might be cooler and was also tired of hair all over the house. I hope my person doesn’t get any ideas. I kind of like putting my hair all over the house.

Marty, Lucy’s always fun to play with, but I had to stop and finish up my walk.
