Fuzzy wuzzy was a Bear

Beary is off to have a hair cut today. I’m taking him with a little trepidation – he’s never had a hair cut before – and he’s such a fluffy love!

But he has to have one. Being an Alaskan Malamute x Golden Retriever, he has a double coat. And for the past month or so he has been losing his undercoat (roughly the amount of a soccer ball each day!) and scratching. Our vet said the best thing for him is to have a good hair cut.

So this is his before photo – lovely fluff bum that he is!

  1. Great photo! Good luck Beary!!!! I bet he will look great even if it’s a little shorter– how could he not with a face like that!? We need to get Chelsea’s hair cut soon but I keep putting it off because I don’t want anyone messing with her new fur/little leg πŸ™‚

  2. You are very photogenic Beary, good luck with your hair cut πŸ™‚

    That’s a lot of hair coming out every day. You could make a few sweaters. Looking forward to the “after” photo.

    He’s lucky, my breed doesn’t get clipped, we get stripped. Looking forward to spring…..

    I have a double coat and I have been shedding too. Tall person has been combing out a bagful for days now! I do feel much lighter πŸ™‚

  6. I can’t wait to see the after-picture of Beary. I think he will look handsome. I am as sleek as a seal, but I still shed like crazy. Sometimes Mom says she’s going to throw me in the garbage and build a new dog out of the leftover hair. That makes me laugh…. Um… She can’t really do that, can she?

    Love and licks,

  7. He is beautiful! Love that face and that great smile! Big Hugs Beary!!!
