"It looks wet."

I bet you would never guess that these three statements were used - by three different people - to describe the exact same thing yesterday.

And I bet even more that you would never guess that the statements were used to describe... my dog.

Yes, my poor, sweet Sethy had to endure the hack job of his life over the weekend when my husband and I tried to give him a haircut.

In our defense, all was going well until the clippers we were using just stopped working mid-cut.

Then we were left to finish the job with scissors. And it just didn't go as planned.

We had let Seth's fur grow over the winter. But now that the weather is getting nicer, we figured we'd cool him off with a nice Spring haircut.

It started off good. But when our clippers gave up on us halfway through the grooming session on our back deck, we had to improvise.  And out came the scissors.

In hindsight, maybe that wasn't the smartest idea. Because when we brought Seth and our other dog, Ryder, to the beach yesterday, we got the above comments in reference to Seth's new 'do.

A roof. Rippling water on a lake. (Simply) wet.

All because he went from this:
