What Seven Pounds of Dog Hair Look Like?

Ok, a little comic relief here.

See the beautiful white dog in the top picture? (Pay no attention to the boy in the background...LOL!) Now look at the second photo of the same pup, after a day at the groomer. Seven pounds of fur, ladies and gentlemen. Seven pounds. That's what we left on the groomer's floor.

Why do such a thing? Well, for one, the poor pooch was panting and hot way too early in the season. Second of all, every time we brushed her, our son (the hiding one...) exclaimed that we got a Chihuahua's sized hair ball. Brush a GP (Great Pyrenees) and you get a Chihuahua. Who knew.

Oh, how she is happy to be rid of that fur coat as the weather warms up. Even though it took a day or two for her to get used to her new, lighter feeling...she loves it. Really she does. Yet another little slice of our family life...
