The Haircut that will go down in History

If you have been following the blog, you may recall some mention of The Great Shed that has been occurring in the last few months. The Great Shed happens annually when copious amounts of cinnamon and white hair are released from the coat of Lucky the Dog and deposited not only in the house, but also the yard, the car, the street, the neighborhood, even the city and the whole state of New Mexico. The Great Shed has very deliberately and decisively ended. (Great rejoicing was heard in the streets). Now you may be wondering what precipitated such a sudden termination to the Great Shed. All will be revealed.

BEFORE:

and After these two very hairy pictures, we have "process" pictures. Jon came over and clipped said dog for 2 HOURS! Major props to him - he did a beautiful job. My function was to hold Lucky's head and reassure him that he was still my baby puppy and he looked cute. This was about the middle of the largest haircut in recent times. Notice all the hair in the freshly planted vegetable garden. Icky. It turns out that Lucky really enjoyed his haircut and didn't need holding down. Look at that happy face. Almost done!
The hair we could salvage (which implies that there is still a lot left in the yard) fills up two shopping bags when patted down. It is certainly enough to coat the neighborhood in a thin layer. Don't worry, though, I already threw it out before it could take over the world. AFTER: (a very happy and cool little guy) Note: He was a little upset at me for leaving him at home, so he wouldn't take the biscuit - as I said, he is a little crazy.He has been a lot more active and has been wagging his tail a lot more since the haircut on Sunday afternoon. No new large tufts of downy hair have appeared on the kitchen floor. Lucky is pretty much indebted to Jon. Everything is right in the world.
