Of course, now everybody's all "they ruined the poodle! they shaved too much!"

"He looks like a naked mole rat!"

Excuse me, he does not, he looks like a poodle with a pointy poodle snoot. And if anybody else in my family would like to volunteer to go with the dogs to their grooming visits, they're welcome to do so. Until then, I don't want to hear about it.

Also, his hair grows so fast, tomorrow you'll barely be able to tell he even went.

E asked me how I'm handling my life since /r/whatsthatbook shut down for the protest, and rattled off a list of subreddits she's on that are also shut down, so I told her that Dreamwidth saw an influx of redditors. I suspect they're all older than she is anyway, but if all she really wants is a place to post about Build-a-Bear fandom - hey!

I don't know how people who keep their clipped-shaved dogs scrupulously in form do it. They must go to the groomer weekly.

Do clipped-shaved dogs risk sunburn? I've been warned about cat's ears and nose where the fur is thinnest (on a white cat, anyway, maybe that's a factor?)

It can be a risk, yes.
