My 18 month old miniature American Eskimo dog Petunia seems to have gotten confused by the recent spell of warm weather.  We had about 2 weeks of warm (even for California) weather and I woke up this morning to a house covered with a fine layer of dog hair.  I took her outside with some grooming brushes, and 40 minutes later had a lot less dog.  Or so it looks...

The wind blew about 2x this amount down the path.

So fluffy and cute!

I love the name Petunia. My little dudes shed so much that I've threatened to shave them.

I like my dog a lot better when he is similarly shorn.
Mostly because it kind of makes us look like those pictures where the dude looks like his dog. Less so now that I don't have long-ish hair to compare to his ears. But generally he just seems happier and more active when his hair is short. We did have to buy him a little coat, though, because the first time we cut his hair in the winter he spent the whole day curled up in a ball in his bed.

My dog is wearing his party hat.

Do you like my hat?

[V-Adore]

I like Gus's hat! I fear, however, that Gus does not.

That bulldog after him in your photostream is mad proud of himself, though. He is rockin' that purple-and-leopard coat.

Great hat, but that pup is just not feeling it. Someone drop a brat.

Originally we were going to get 2 pugs, a boy we'd name "Football" (because you could carry him like one) and a girl named Petunia (after Porky Pig's girlfriend).  Fortune put an American Eskimo pup in our hands instead, and since she's female she acquired Petunia as a moniker.  Later that year I planted a bunch of assorted flowers along the walkway visible in that picture.  She wasn't interested in most of them, but she ate the blooms off the petunias.  Coincidence?  I think not.

That's a lovely half a dog you have but that doesn't mean you can't also have two pugs in addition.  Come on, how can you resist?

I do not like it.

Dogs in cars again.  Going away.  Going away fast.

Just made me think of Dogs in Elk. Again.

I do not like it.

I can't believe I didn't pick up on the theme there first time. And I just pulled that out for the newest one's edumentainment.

Go, Dogs, Go!

make sure you get that kid the REAL THING. Not any of this simplified crap where they took out some parts.

OH NOOOO omba! Not the pug cuteness! I am powerless to resist posting a million "cuuuuute" comments. I would love a pug, but the little boys would smother me in my sleep if I ever introduced another quadruped to my household.

I think you are supposed to shave dogs in summer and let them grow their hair out for winter.  At least that is what we do with my Great Pyrenees.
