Held My Heart Deep In Hair Time To Shave Shave It Off

Last week, Great Vancouver experienced record-breaking heat. BC generally has a mild climate. Last week? NOT SO MILD. Vancouver recorded its hottest day in city history on Wednesday ... and then broke that record on Thursday.

In BC, the average home does not have an air-conditioner. We have two fans, which helped a lot, but our condo was still like a sauna. Every day we would shut the windows and blinds, direct a fan onto each of the puppies' crates, and leave them a bowl of water; and every day we would come home to two miserable puppies.

So I shaved Wolfgang.

He wouldn't let me do his legs much, and he was pretty pissed whenever I tried to get near his head, so he's looking a bit disproportionate.

Bobblehead!

The mohawk he's rocking is pretty fucking sweet, though.

  1. You need to ship those puppies to Chicago where (a) we have A/C and (b) temps have been mild at best this summer!

    Wolfgang sure is cute, though, with his new do.

  2. Ah! Too cute! We might have had to shave our little guys if we were having a normal summer but it's the 3rd coldest on record (booooo) so their coats are safe. For now.

  3. Hahahahahahahaha! We used to do something like this to our Shih Tzu in the summer, but he never had a mohawk. He looked more like a lion.

  4. I mean, a very small, non-threatening, frou-frou kind of lion, of course.

  7. First let's discuss how hilarious it is that you shaved your dog. Then, I'd like to open a dialogue about what would happen if we tried to attempt the same feat on our cat. (The answer is death. Death would happen.)
