summer clip
Yippee Skippy! He has a brand new summer clip. Last night was sooo hot for Skippy - he panted instead of sleeping. He's much more comfortable now with his short haircut.
I do have to make a quick comment on the ticks this year. Terrible! Poor Skippy gets so many of them. I hate stop him from running through the tall grasses. He loves this. But even in relatively urban Belmont, he picked up a dozen yesterday. If we walk in towns to the north or west its worse. Also, he often picks them up in our community garden. Seems like its just a bad year for ticks.

hot weather for a long-haired puppy
Skippy is SOO hot today. He still has his winter coat and the weather is up into the 70's now. Skippy is a puppy who likes to sleep on the snow all night when his fur is long.
The good news is he has an appointment for a haircut tomorrow. Its a big deal to finally get a grooming appointment around Belmont. All the groomers are booked up weeks in advance. Thanks goodness people/I don't need to wait so long for a hair cut!
