The clippers heat up quickly

So I shave the dog one body part at a time:

one leg,

two legs,

three legs,

four legs,

one foot,

two feet,

three feet,

four feet,

back,

belly,

tail,

face.

Hot dog ready for summer relief.

It takes longer than a girl

getting ready for a hot date.

The spring appears to have come!  Beautiful sunny day today, and OJ was moving slowly.  I decided it was time for the summer transformation.  As I cut into the his thick Continental jacket, I could almost feel steam rising off his back!  So here is the transformation at the half way point, when he looks like Tina Turner:

 and now he’s ready for the summer, but he looks a lot like a sheep.  I left the ‘fleece’ in the picture just because it’s fun to see how much wool comes off!  No sweeping required, it all sticks together; I just pick it all up and and stuff it into a bag.  OJ looks less like a poodle, but he’s a lot cooler.
