I know it looks like Ben had a drunken encounter with a razor wielding felon, but I paid for this haircut!! I took him to the spa to get him all
cleaned up (he's already been panting so much and it's barely been hot
so far) and they took poetic license and really, really cleaned him up!
Well, it's a good summer 'do for him and it will grow back.
Eventually. It's even shorter than his military do back in YYC! He was
tan then, but this cut is even shorter and shows his dark underspots (the malamute in him). I love how the tail alone retains some original flair...it looks like he was the donkey in a game and the kid stuck it on in the right place!
He rather looks like a formerly abused rescue dog that has just been
cleaned up. Poor dude.
When I brought him home, Kat asked, "Is that
Ben?" She didn't even recognize her Benjy. The real question
was.....why did that haircut take 5 hours??? Anyway, Boo even
recognized his long lost buddy (he spent the day in mourning) and was
overjoyed at Ben's return.
Well, we are exhausted. On top of the munchkin giving up sleeping for lent (her sense of time is a little bit off), we were up and at 'em at 6AM today for the Walk4Hearing in Rochester. And yesterday was her Tae Kwon Do tournament, followed by her Florida grandparents and the entire family (including the cousins) here last night for a cookout. Two nights this week, she was up for the day at 3AM (but of course, we didn't realize that and spent hours begging, pleading, bribing and anything else we could think of to get her to go back to sleep). In the end, at 6 or 7, I gave up and told her to go play downstairs. And she did.
We raised 1,000 for the Walk4Hearing, and walked 3.1 miles today along the Erie Canal in Fairport (well, Mom & Dad rode their criket & scooters respectively....and so did Kat). We brought the wagon, but I was relieved when she hopped on the criket at the very beginning and I didn't have to haul the wagon 3.1 miles. She got out once in a while and ran around. But mostly she sat next to Grandpa and said "faster, Grandpa, faster".
Friggin Blogger won't let me upload a new video.....this one is what it did look like. I wanted to upload the video of what it SHOULD have looked like.
Kat got 2 medals at the tournament yesterday. She had practiced her kick/punch combinations, but the actual setting of the gymnasium, the multitudes of people and the tremendous differences in how things were done compared to how they did it in the studio led to confusion. And she had to go first, next to another kid, not like they had done it in class. And there was no one there to hold the target for her, like they had done in class. So she and the other kid both stood there confused and then she did super-lame punches. So she got a medal (everyone won something). And when it was time for flag sparring, they had to wear these foam helmets (never did in class) and the small one, had such poor visibility, I was amazed that she could see anything at all. So she got another medal......
