The Kids Get a Hair Cut

Here's Ben with his new do. He says he likes is new cut. See I didn't screw it up! 3/29/08



Ben and his new hair cut - side view.



Here is the back. It used to be long, it was trying to grow it to donate it. I told him he'd never make it. Taking care of your hair takes much more time than he wanted to put into it. I had a hard enough job just getting him to wash it a couple of times per week.



Here's Sam with short hair. I got tired of dealing with tangles, twisty bugs, unknown sticky stuff and the last straw - ticks, dirt and sand. "Off with his HAIR."



Here are Ben and Sam with Sandy after the 3 of them had a hair cut.



Peter says that Sandy looks like a Bobble Head now that his coat is short but his head and ears are long.

Puppies First Bath

Here is Sandy in the bath with Sam. Sam was taking a bath and Sandy wanted to join him. He loved it. Once I finished up with Sam, Sandy got a proper bath too. Now everyone smells a bit better.

Sandy is really tired now after his long day and bath. He's 12 weeks old today. 3/19/08.
