I'm going to cut Jasper's hair

I'm about to cry, because I said I wasn't ever going to do it. I've just been SO busy with the kitten, and it has done nothing but rain since Dennis. Our yard is soaked, and he comes in soaking wet. Before he even dries, he has to go back out & he's soaking wet again. I'm really surprised he's not one huge matt. I think I'm going to use the 3F on him, so that it'll leave his hair 1/2". Now, I just have to muster up the courage to actually do it since I really don't want to cut it...

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

good luck--and he'll look adorable!! :D
Awwwwww..... sorry you had to decide to clip him.... I know the feeling... lol.... I bet he will look so adorable in his new haircit! I can't wait to see pics!
You've got so much on your plate right now, Gail, and I'm sure Jasper will be cooler with a new 'do. And don't worry - it will grow out before you know it!

Jasper will look so handsome and be cool for summer.
It will grow back quick, too. It's a tough time of the
years for matts, so this will make it easier for both of you
right now. After the haircut your grooming time will
be easier which translates to more play time for Jasper with
Jakob and Brandon !
Bless your heart, Gail! It's a tough decision, but I'm sure you'll be glad when it's done.

I finally surrendered yesterday myself. Beaureguard is sporting a sleek new look, too. I've got to take him back this afternoon, though, so she can re-do his face. She left it long and I really don't like the lion-head look. I was really surprised how small he is under all that hair. I was afraid he was getting a little chubby (like his Mom!). But his weight is actually perfect for his frame.

Good luck & post pics when you're finished!
Tammy,
That's amazing you posted on this, I was about to
email you to see if you put Beau in the puppy cut.

Bet he looks cute ! He'll have more energy (look out!),
but the cool comfort is worth it for them.
You will be surprised how fast it grows back !
It really grows back fast. TOO fast!!!

You are right, Zahra! He does! I just posted some pics of his new look under "sheepie shorn". He's cute! (in his mom's completely unbiased opinion, of course!) :D
HI - LOVED THE STORIES AND I CAME TO THE SIGHT TO FIND OUT IF I AM A HORRIBLE MOM FOR CUTTING MAX'S HAIR??? I JUST DID IT YESTERDAY AND I WAS AND STILL AM A MESS. HE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE LAMB NOW- CUTE BUT WOW- NOT THE MOP I AM USED TO. WELL THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES BECAUSE NOW I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I WILL SEND PICS WHEN I CAN.

Hi Max's Mom,

Max will enjoy his new haircut, he will be comfortable
for summer. Its a surprise to see how much smaller
they are with out the winter jacket !
You will love the ease of care for the little
lamb look. It will grow out quick and by fall/
winter you can have the full coat look again!

Welcome to the forum, looking forward to pictures !
This is the 2nd year we have cut Watson's hair. He has always been fine with it. It is a fight to comb him so a shorter groom time is better for both of us. We don't shave him but it is pretty short. It seems to grow back overnight.
I just wanted to let you guys know how great it is to have your support. This was our first time cutting Max's hair- so I think I needed to hear the positive response. This is great! Can't wait to send pictures, I will next week.

Oh yea- Max is laying here looking very cute and comfortable :D

thanks again,
Michelle
Michelle,

Hope my post didn't make you feel bad. I used to be a professional pet groomer, so that's why I'm so disappointed! I wanted him in full coat...love sheepies with a full coat (love them naked too though, lol) I just love long hair on pets.

I probably would still be stubborn about it if my husband wasn't leaving for Guam in 6 more days. I'm going to have my hands full then. :cry:
