Our dogs got a make-over last week while we were on vacation! I know this will probably make a true Border Collie lover really mad - but they are starting to shed their winter coat and I just couldn't deal with all the hair! They definately do look different though!

can't say that I blame it!
 
OMG, that cat pic is hilarious! Poor putty tat! lol

And Linda, here I thought you were going to post a pic of your new dew! I just got mine hacked off! 6 inches of it :(! Ohwell, it's almost summer (freakin 97 here yesterday) and my hair grows back fast!
 
Linda, I think your dogs look so cute with their new haircuts.

My dog is shedding like crazy. I think that type of haircut would be great for her.

Side note: South of Atlanta did you all receive any of the sleet? There was enough this afternoon north of Atlanta to accumulate in some of the grassy areas and in the nooks of the roof.
 
Aww - they look cute - I'd love to take my two to have that done but it is practically still winter here...

Nothing drastic with my hair Heather - I'm not that brave!

Lisa - no sleet here, but DS had a baseball game at 6:00 and it was freaking cold out there! I'm on my second hot apple cider just trying to warm-up. Thankfully they won and Jacob got 2 runs! He's so excited, until now every time he got on second base the team would get their 3rd out....all he wanted to do was make it all the way around the bases!

Oh No, I wasn't expecting 6 inches!:eek: I showed her a pic and it came out like 3 inches shorter than it!:grumpy:
 
Linda they look adorable!
And KG is that YOUR cat or just a pic you found?
My allergist keeps suggesting I have my big fat Suki cat shaved down - but I think she's be just as pi$$ed as the puddy tat in the picture!
 
I won't gross you out by posting a picture, but one of my cats had to have surgery back in January and got his butt shaved. He's a black cat and it is taking FOREVER to grow back! My husband calls the cat "Monkey Butt" now! After this experience, we will only shave our boys when medically necessary!The dogs look great, although they really look like they are a cross between a rottweiler (with it's beautiful sleek coat) and something friendly.
