You've met this guy before, right? I don't suppose it's a surprise that I thought he might be due for a haircut. Aside from not being able to see his eyes, he has had an unsightly patch on his side. Last November, he had a large rectangular patch shaved down to the skin for an allergy test. It's bothered me more than it has ever bothered him. Meeko is pretty joyful no matter what. His hair (Wheaten terriers don't have fur) has been ever so slow growing in. I've had so many people over the past few months ask me if he had had surgery. When I've posted photos of him, I've tended to show his other side. So the patch finally grew in to the point that I thought I could get the rest of him groomed to match.
So this was Meeko yesterday morning.
And this is him yesterday afternoon. Groomed. Blow-dried. An Easter kerchief.
And a little yoga stretch to finish things off.
Did you know that I cried the first time I took him to the groomer? When I picked him up, I didn't even realize it was Meeko, he looked so different. A little over-attached to my pup? Ah, perhaps.
I love when his hair gets a bit longer and goes curly--all shaggy dog like. But others like him this way. When I took him for a walk yesterday, a little girl called out from her front door (in French): 'You're the cutest dog I've ever seen!' :)
