From Sawyer to "Billy"

I dread having to take Sawyer to the groomers.  We have only once had a groomer give Sawyer the look we wanted.  Sawyer is a fluffy, curly Yorkie/Poodle mix and he should always be that way.  Despite my detailed descriptions on how I would like his hair to just be trimmed and how I love his fluffy curls, he always comes back looking like someone else's dog.  I've just come to expect it.  Which is why I wasn't even surprised when Saywer went from looking like this:

To this:

It's not that he doesn't look "cute", it's just that he doesn't look like our dog.  So, until it grows back, he'll be "Billy" to us.  Poor Sawyer, I even think he doesn't feel like himself when he's like this!

Sawyer Sitting

We were gone for nearly a week last week visiting Rilo's Great-Great Grandma and her Great-Grandpa. It was a spur of the minute trip and we realized we needed someone to watch Sawyer. Luckily, my friend Allison was willing to house/dog sit for us (again)! From what I hear, I think Sawyer might actually be sad that we are home. He went nearly everywhere with her...met new friends, tried out new parks and lots of other fun things that he has not had the chance to do since the new arrival in our house.


Yep, I think he had fun! Jessica took these awesome pictures of Sawyer and co. at the park. If you like to look at pretty pictures, then you must go take a peek at her photography blog.

This Poor Guy...

...is in for a real shock. His world is about to be turned upside down. Let's just hope he adjusts well!
