Today everyone was a bit nervous. After a bite to eat, we went out! Not to the vet or grandparents house but a totally different place.

I was excited because I got to sniff around before the found the place.

It smelled like other dogs had been here before although no one was there at the time.

There was a skinny human who quickly picked me up and put me on a table which was too familiar. The last time I was put on a table like this they gave me a haircut.

I was right! This was a new saloon.

I sat patiently as they shaved my back and debated on the length.... hello!??? Was anyone gonna ask me what I wanted??

Apparently not because then my family stepped back and I could hear the machine zapping away.... and my beautiful hair fell on the ground to form a heap as big as me.

The electric shaver was so close that it made me nervous. I got especially angry when he brought it closer to my face.

Then he gave me a bath which calmed me down considerably.

After the bath he groomed me well, trimmed my nails and cleaned out my ears. I felt fresh and bald.

It's true now I could feel the air against my skin which was no longer protected by my thick hair. I felt tiny too.

My parents tried to hug me when they saw me but I was too terrified to enjoy it. Soon they carried me out so that my paws don't get dirty.

Suddenly everything was different. The feeling of every room as I entered it..... The cold floor against my skin..... now I sleep on the beds they gave me.
