At the risk of boring you to death with yet ANOTHER post about our young Sheldon, I decided to do exactly that. Yesterday Sheldon went to get his first haircut. I brought him to work with me early in the morning (as I do many days) so he did not suspect any difference in his daily routine. But at 8:30 we left the office and drove to the grooming salon. Having never been groomed, this was all new for him, and he was excited to be handed off to the nice grooming girl behind the counter. A few hours later I returned to the groomer to pick up young Sheldon. Except my dog wasn't there. Well what I really mean is the dog I dropped off wasn't the dog I took home. I literally did not recognize my dog when I first saw him. Sheldon knew he looked different. He walked over to the doggie mirror and looked at himself- can you imagine that? I wondered what went through his mind when he saw himself. On the way home he was SO EXCITED he was smiling the entire way. Of course, I treated him to some delicious organic dog cookies as a reward.

above: Remember this dog? This of course is Sheldon from a few days before his haircut. Wow what a difference! I'm traveling today, flying to Providence for a bit of business and to visit family along the way. I'll be attending the Farm Aid concert on Saturday so I'll have a report for you about it. Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Friday all!
