It's that time again!

[docmartin]

At it again girls,

Lot of whispering and saying things in Russian to each other this morning (they think I don't understand you know) and then I was wrapped in a blanket of all things and driven to the 'Parlour'. I'm not sure whether I like this place or not? To be candid the fittings are not quite what I'm used too, there's lots of strange smells, no carpets (tiles are a bit common too) and not a single piece of 'Sheraton' in sight!

However the ladies are very nice and have to consult all the pics Dad gave them while they cut me. This is my third trip since June and quite why they do all this I don't understand - I mean look at me - I'm really groovy all the time and my longer look was very retro I thought? Well now I've had this sort of 'Audrey Hepburn' slice off, very different from the 'Bardot' genre, I'd grown happy with. Also, although they're not interested, there's a really beautiful Yorkie hunk called 'Clarence', who's been giving me the eye just recently by the 'Fish Shop'. I'll probably never see him again now? May I leave it up to you girls to decide, which is more me? Before you ask, I won't feel the cold thankfully! Mom bought me back a lovely 'Alpaca Hoody thingy' from Russia and as I'm very much an indoors girlie as you know. The even better news is 'thats it' - period, no more parlour trips until April apparently (Mom's on my side here).

Thanks everyone for inquiring about my condition following a recent setback with an upset tummy. I'm fighting fit now and I'm hoping the change of diet is the main frame from now on. Fresh chicken, Fresh Cod loin, Chopped steak, Scrambled Eggs on Sunday and these delicious biscuits. One to wake up with, one for my coat and a goodnight one, all organic and from a nice lady called 'Lily's Kitchen' apparently, who makes wonderful 'Cordon Bleu' wet dishes as well.

So which do you thinks better girls? Bardot (all long and tressy) and the first pic or Hepburn (short and cutie), the last couple? If I look a bit shirty, in the last two, I was quite peeved at the time. Blankets, cars, having to mix it with the likes of smelly 'Pekinese' etc, poor decor, what did he expect me to swoon or something - I mean to say!

Anyway all the best for now girls - your top tart...

So cute!! Hepburn looks absolutely adorable on you. I just did my little Piper more Hepburn, too so it must be an in look!!!

[Harrysmum]

Hee hee!!!

I realise Irina doesn't agree....but I personally prefer the Hepburn look....love the shorter 'body hair' and longer on the legs (do you think Audrey had long leg hair?!!!!? ).

She's a little cutie....and so happy her little tummy is sorted now! Sally + Harry x

[Magnus]

My vote goes to the Hepburn look! Such a cutie pie...

[theporkieyorkie]

Yes...I like the Hepburn look on her the best. I've got my older boy in a similar haircut and I love it because it's much easier to manage!! You still get the longer hair look without all of high maintenance to go along with it!!

I find that they don't look as messy as quickly in this style of cut. My younger dog, who has longer hair everywhere, looks like a mess as soon as I put him down from being bathed and brushed. My older dog looks freshly groomed for at least 3-4 days after his bath.

Both looks are lovely, however I like the Hepburn short and cute the best. You could try a little longer on the legs one time. Beautiful Crystal.

Thanks everyone,

I'm getting used to it and only wish I could show the new 'moi' off more on our walks, but they both keep me swaddled in coats! It's also great for bed snorkelling, or head scraping, when your hiding that special chew under the duvet! - very easy for a working girl to keep tidy too - one shake and your fully poised once more, oh yes!

Mum's warming a bit too, but really she doesn't like any form of change anyway, except for her clothes and shoes and er, handbags of course!

When I arrived, I had lots of knots and mattings, all mashed up with wood shavings in my coat. Eventually only a short back and sides resolved it. I was terribly nervous upon landing and screamed if anyone tried to untangle me. My little legs haven't been touched since though, as Dad wants them thick and chunky.

I don't think he wanted my neck cut so close, like my trunk, but he told me last night, I've got a very elegant neck and it keeps getting big kisses too. Anyway he loves Rick Caran's 'Jilli' (a bit too much if you ask me) and her cut really turns him on. I have to say she's one cute girl too and so darn clever!

Byeeee for now...

So cute Crystal!

[gracielove]

Well, I think they did a good job. They made your hair a bit more tidy and your looking good. Personally, I prefer the long flowing locks. I have loved taking care of my Maltese, Shih Tzu, and Yorkie's long flowing locks. I do relent and let Gracie get a bit of a trim for summer but her hair is grown in by winter.

I don't know about your place but our floors are a bit too drafty for our diva when it gets really cold here. She wears a fleece shirt or dress while indoors during the dead of winter. I'm sure you will be plenty warm with such good parents to take care of you.

looking awfully glam on her chaise, she's so cute
