Pre-Surgery Haircut, Haircut

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Well, July 17th is the date for Lucy's surgery (Dr. was on vacation 1st two weeks of July).  DH and I have decided that since she will be laid up for so long that it might be hard to keep her combed out so we should probably cut her down quite a bit before the surgery.  So yesterday I took the first step and gave her a haircut.  I took her shorter than I've taken her before, but think that I might even take her a little shorter yet before her surgery.  A little nervous about that, but I'm sure it will be best for her.

I would love to see a lake in Ireland!  (One of my dream vacations.)  : )

She looks great.

Oh what beautiful dogs.

I am so sorry to hear Lucy has to have surgery it is so natural to have concerns about it, but I am sure she will be just fine and will feel better for it after the recovery period.

I have been away, so my opinion may be old news but here it is: I like it like this, but especially if she mats ( I can't remember), I would go shorter on the body and legs, so you don't have to brush her at all. If she has a pain patch on her hip, they will shave the leg and hip all the way up to the spine, so if the rest of her is really short it will grow out together. You won't be able to bath or 'groom' her for quite a while.
