Morrie’s New Look

10 Replies

Morrie still has his usual beard and facial hair because the groomer had to use a muzzle as he kept trying to bite him, but I don’t mind the hirsute look.  I told him I didn’t want the classic Scottie haircut of short on top and long on the bottom.  I think he looks pretty cute.  Diego and Frida are busy sniffing him because they know something is different, and Diego was beside himself when we left without him this morning.  Now we’re home and ready to dig into our old life again. Internet is restored, at least for the time being..

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I know. Marilyn Armstrong convinced me I had to get it cut. She has his evil twin Bonnie.. or I have Bonnie’s evil twin Morrie. We can never quite decide.

    That’s pretty much the cut I use on Bonnie, too. I don’t see the point of leaving that “skirt.” All it does is collect dirt. Looks like Morrie has the same kind of coat Bonnie has … not really “hard” like it’s supposed to be, but curly and soft. Gibbs has a “true” Scottie coat — coarse and hard. Lays flat against his body. I’m getting both of them groomed at the end of July, the earliest the groomer has time … and I’ll have money! By then, they will REALLY need grooming. Bonnie has reached the “pile of black rags” stage. I had to give her eye drops the other day and couldn’t find one of her eyes. I literally couldn’t find it. I knew it was there … somewhere. Garry and I had to go hunting for it together!

      I knew you would approve. I guess he was pretty naughty at the groomer’s. He was really good for the guys who came to the house, but they only washed and blew him dry. The vet is delivering a very expensive bottle of shampoo that is good for his sensitive skin tomorrow. I’m on his way home to Guad, luckily, so makes it easy for him to give personalized service! Both of the other dogs gave Morrie a good sniffing over. Curiouser and curiouser.

      I love how he plumed the tail. I see my dogs in part as little kinetic sculptures and it gives me so much pleasure that they are all such good lookers!
