What about selective shaving, like a lion cut? I have to think they are kinda like topiary plants sometimes...

I googled shaved dogs for a secondsome purty kinky stuff mixed in with the grooming sites...

I try to have a fun life. Did I show you this? I really liked it when I read it...
Positive Mental Attitude!!

We can all learn a lesson from this great old girl!

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is
fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably
coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally
blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move
necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing
home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a
visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that
had been hung on her window.

"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old
having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like
my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged... it's
how I arrange my mind.

I already decided to love it "It's a decision I make every morning
when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting
the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,
or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the
new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ...just for this
time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account ...you withdraw from what you've put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the
bank account of memories.

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.

2. Free your mind from worries.

3. Live simply.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.
