Summer fashion

Here’s Andy.

He’s built for cold weather ...

... see?

Here he is one chilly morning last February,

playing keep-away with Trixie.

Go, Andy, go!

Now, in the middle of summer, this is just about as fast as he gets.

Until yesterday, that is.

He just went to the vet for his summer haircut, which will help him stay cooler through the hundred-degree days of August and September ahead.

Here he is, sporting his fresh summer ’do.

But don’t worry, his coat will have plenty of time 

to grow out nice and full by the time cool October arrives.

Now he looks like some rare, exotic breed.

Or like he’s sculpted out of fine Italian marble.

Or like someone was playing 

“Pin-the-tail-on-the-skinny-white-dog.”

Hey, Andy ... how are you liking your new look?

Fine! Just fine!
