Virgil Got Groomed / Oh, Dear

Oh, dear.

I mean…oh, dear. Poor guy. Poor, naked, little guy. And the sad little remaining poof on his tail. I just…can’t. (As a reminder, this is his usual look.)

Lucy and Virgil have an unfortunate habit of munching on each others’ ears and legs, and apparently (I learned this from the dog groomer) saliva acts as a sort of glue, making snarls much, much worse and much, much harder to get out. We’re pretty good about brushing him, but as he got fluffier and fluffier our dinky plastic brush stopped being up to the task (I’m picking up a hardier one today)…and…well…

He got shaved.

Like I said: Oh, dear.

After the jump, a heretofore-unpublished shot of Virgil from earlier this summer (in appreciation of his plight).

    haha.. for some reason this picture cracks me up. He has such a disconcerted look on his face… like he is saying, “REALLY???”

    I think Virgil looks so cute even though it isn't his normal look!

  • Ict

    WHAT A CUTIE (with both hairdos!)! I agree with melissabeththompson below- his expression is hilarious!

    I can't get a dog right now (apartment ban), so I love your doggie posts :)
