new 'do

grover got a haircut today. i think i prefer the puppy cut (all one length) to his new scottie pattern. he looks like too much of a grownup and he's still my baby! i wonder if this is how new parents feel?

before


(grover & his friend sprocket)



after





the groomer wanted to know if we'd like to stud him once before we get him altered. he's scheduled for his alteration on the 31st, so we'd have to postpone that. he said that grover has a good personality. grover is kindof a brat (that's why we call him monster), but he's just a baby & the groomer told us he's pretty good and will become an even-tempered dog when he grows up & would make good puppies from what he saw today & he's been a groomer for 20 years. (but he's just a puppy himself!) i don't really know how i feel about that. i already feel guilty for buying from a breeder and not getting a rescue dog (next dog will be a rescue whether it's from a specific breed or a 'mutt') we'll have to have a serious discussion in the next couple of weeks.
