Velveteen Doggie

Today I took Lola to get the second haircut since she's been with me. Since it's forty-seven bucks a pop, I try to leave it as long as I can between haircuts, and then get it cut as short as I can without her looking completely ridonkulous. The girls at Petsmart were really nice and agreed to pose for before and after pictures.

After:


They gave her pink bows with green dots to match her collar :-D

Right after a haircut, Lola becomes what I call the Velveteen Doggie. Her coat is short and soft, with no curl, and it's like stroking velvet.

Here is a picture of Lola eating, because that's the only time I could get her to stand still. Her head looks ridiculously huge compared to the rest of her body.


Of course as soon as the camera flashed she came towards me. She has an odd fascination with the camera. Also, did you know that Lhasas are prone to having problems with being bow-legged? I guess I'm really fortunate that Lola doesn't seem to be affected!


I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.
