Hair of the Dog

 Found out you really shouldn't laugh at dogs when they're only half way through a short back and sides. It just hurts their feelings.
 This bearded collie was getting his pre summer cut, but there was no time to finish the 4th leg or his back, so for  the day he went around with one leg warmer like a Fame academy dancer from the 80's.
Next time I saw him though he was shaking his skinny little hips and had a very cool swagger to his step. He felt he was definitely one cool dude. And about a ton lighter...

    Awwwwwwwwww! They ARE aware something's really different. My sister's long-haired cat, in the hot desert, is the same way when he gets his lion cut in the summer...

    You're right - it does hurt their feelings. My mom used to have a little poodle, and once when he came home with a new cut, we all laughed and laughed at him... he hid under the couch and wouldn't come out for Hours! Ever after, each time he got cut, he hid. We felt terrible (but he did look pretty funny). Your sketches are perfect! nancy

    This brought back a lot of memories for me, about the cocker spaniel I once had. Makes me smile!

    I couldn't get the first picture to enlarge in order to tell what it was, but the second worked and it is full of some great, spontaneous looking sketches!
