Levi went to the poo-poo, fancy-do groomers today and came home looking like a little old man. How could Mom do that to him? He's only 21 weeks old! Gone is all his fluffy, silky-soft fur that bounced with each step when he ran. Gone is his stocky look that had my humans wondering if he really is a pure breed schnauzer like the breeder promised. He's got a waist line and long legs! Who knew? And ears, eyebrows, and a little tail. Levi was so fascinated by the newly discovered wiggly thing on his butt that he chased it for the first time in his young life. Mom thought Levi was going to turn out to be a muddy shade of medium gray and was shocked when she picked up a puppy that turned out to be mostly charcoal gray with light patches on his chest, face, legs and butt. I guess his big-boy haircut will grow on me. Poor little guy, though, he's been scratching since he came home. I think he's allergic to haircuts.
Looking more and more like a schnauzer...
Short legs before the haircut, long legs afterwards (see below---photos taken the same day).
Well, I've got to get back to my friends up here at the Rainbow Bridge. I'm taking flyball lessons, can you believe that!? A bunch of us small-fry dogaroons are running the course today while the big dogs coach and cheer. ©

Hi, Cooper and Levi -
Cooper, have fun taking flyball lessons. Maybe you'll see my older sister Bosco. She loved playing ball.
Levi is so handsome with his new haircut. Kaci and I (Hershey) just got haircuts over the weekend. We were pretty fuzzy too. You can see our fuzzy cuts on our last entry. Mama has taken pictures of us with our new haircuts but Papa has to help her download them on the computer.
Love -
Hershey and Kaci

Hi, Cooper & Levi...
The haircut looks very nice...It makes Levi look sooo much older...
Why is it that when you cut a kids hair they look older??? I never understood that...
Anyway...Levi, you look great...I think they must have put something on your legs that made them grow...
Maybe next time I go to the "Spa"...I'll ask them to do something about my short legs, too...
Abby xxxooo
You look so grown up, Levi! Mom always dusts us with medicated Gold Bond powder after we're groomed - especially our ears!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Wow I can't believe how grown up Levi looks now! He is so handsome.
Does he help your mommy find all the local Starbucks? What is his favorite drink? My mawmie is going to extend her kitchen and redo it and is thinking of redoing it in a coffee/Starbucks theme. Yeppers she is kinda crazy.
Nose pokes,

Cooper, flyball is one wonderful sport so we know you'll enjoy your lessons. Can't wait to hear more about it! We always love hearing from you.
Hi Levi & Cooper's Mom,
I'm writing a story for The Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, about pet blogs -- specifically, blogs written in the voices of dogs and cats (and rabbits or goldfish or iguanas...). I love your -- pardon me, Cooper's -- blog and I'd love to chat with you for my story. You can contact me at rdube (at) globeandmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Levi, you look real smart and good with the new cut :)
wow, now that is one handsome haircut! who knew that such a good looking schnauzer was underneath all of that hair. we totally approve! he looks terrific!
woofs.
OMGosh, I think Cooper is adorable, but I must admit to missing the puppy fur! Course, I felt the same way when Scruffy got cut that first time too.
What a handsome pup!
Love and stuff,
Michy
