As I write this, about 2:30 p.m., it's a freakishly warm 76 degrees here. I was watching blind Mitch, wearing his heavy Husky coat, and bet he was wishing he'd already had his summer haircut! He has the thickest coat I've ever seen on a dog, and we've taken to getting him clipped — what our vets call a "lion cut" — every summer to make him more comfortable. It's going to quickly cool down in the next couple of days and get back to more normal temperatures, so we don't want to give Mitch his "summer do" too early. But like all the dogs, he was clearly enjoying the early burst of summer weather this week.

We have got to see Mitch with a handsome lion cut when the time comes to get clipped!

My goodness, Mitch sure does have quite the thick coat! I thought my Tara had a lot of fur, but there is no comparison…Mitch wins, hands down 🙂 I haven’t gotten Tara her summer cut yet either, although it’s been mighty warm here in South Carolina. It’s great to see Mitch enjoying himself!

Mitch is certainly one handsome looking young man. Have his manners improved?? Wasn’t he displaying very Alpha traits? I have a long haired rag doll male named Blue that will be going in this week for his “summer do”. Since he only lives inside, I worry less about the outside temperature. Hope you are all enjoying the homecoming……as much as one can with a big move ahead! I can’t wait to welcome you here in New Hampshire. Again….Welcome….Welcome!

Do ya think he misses the snow and the -22 temps? Sunshine is a good trade off though. 🙂

Mitch looks really happy. Is it because of the beautiful weather or that Rolling Dog Ranch just won $3,000 in the Animal Rescue Site Shelter Challenge? Congratulations!!!

LOL, I saw the headline and thought you were talking about shaving off your beard, Steve!! I know everyone is going to enjoy the milder winters…but summer is going to be an adjustment too, especially for thick coated critters like Mitch..he’s probably looking forward to that haircut!!
