Fuzzy and Clyde with Lori

No, that's not a new arrival on the left there, that's … Fuzzy!  Without the fuzz!  Our wonderful groomer Lori Fillion from Littleton was here yesterday, doing Molly and Priscilla and the two blind terriers, Fuzzy and Clyde.  With warmer weather finally upon us, Lori thought Fuzzy could do with a much lighter, summer-ish cut.  He looked so different we joked yesterday that we should post him on the blog as a new arrival and see if anyone could tell the difference.  It was funny to see how Fuzzy was rolling and rolling yesterday afternoon, bouncing up and down, apparently quite happy to be relieved of all that hair.  Dang, he's just as adorable, too, but in an entirely new way.  And Clyde got a full makeover, too, which we really like. 

After Lori finished with everyone, she sat outside on the ramp for a bit, and was promptly mobbed by her clients:

Clyde is really coming out of his shell, as you can see in that photo.  Less fearful of people, more animated, and now seeking out attention and affection.  It's quite a turn-around for him.

    “…Fuzzy wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he.” But he sure is cute and probably enjoying the lighter feel. They are both adorable! Nice to see the poodle sisters saying hi to Lori (probably filling her in on all the new gossip from RDR).
    PS…Those bangs kill me, too funny!!

    Fuzzy and Clyde are really cute! I’m a mobile dog groomer myself and I have found there is a special bond that is formed during the grooming, even though most dogs don’t like the whole procedure. They all seem to feel better and love me afterward, including the ones who hide from me before!
    I love your site (just found it) and your mission and will definitely vote for you at the Shelter Challenge. Thanks for all you do for the animals!

    Dear Lori, I hope my joke about a Beatles-style haircut didn’t hurt your feelings. I was just being silly. You’ve done wonders with the RDR crew. I like best the photos of you and the poodle sisters from a couple of weeks ago. You’re a great groomer!
