Bela's crazy month

A few days before our Williamsburg vacation, poor Bela was bitten by another dog while we were taking a walk in our neighborhood (this is the 2nd time, but different dog...and yes we should move!). Anyway, they had to shave a lot of his hair to cleanse the wounds and let them heal. Sorry if some of you are grossed out by the bloody picture. Now it's been about 3 weeks and he's all healed up. We decided to take him in for his first grooming experience. We always wash our dogs ourselves at home, but he's never had a haircut. And a haircut he got!!! They evened it all up so it could all grow back at the same length. The groomer brought him out to me yesterday and I had no idea it was him. Poor thing...but maybe he'll enjoy being cooler this summer. We just hope he doesn't get sunburned! And we hope it grows back quickly because we liked him hairy...even if I do have to vacuum a lot!

This is what Bela normally looks like



This is after the emergency vet visit



This is the new and improved Bela hairdo :( He doesn't even look like a sheltie!



And this is Sadie trying to decide who this new dog is

Poor Bela! Still looks pretty cute though as long as she's used to being naked. :)

Well at least he looks alot more like a boy dog with his new do. He might even like the tough military style look for change :)
