Cato: 
We had to get up early and go out with Dad, to see AuntieLesleyGroomer.
She is very nice, and she gives us nice treats. But she also gives us b**hs, and chops off all our hair. And Mum isn't there.
She has to do Tara first, cos otherwise Tara just whines, so I have to watch it all happening to her, and know that it is going to happen to me too...
But then Mum and Dad picked us up and gave us breakfast, and put our jumpers on - cos it was really cold now I am bald. And we didn't have a walk, cos Mum said we had had enough excitement for one day. So I got to snooze in front of the radiator all day. That was the nice bit.
Tara:
B**h! Eeek! And chilly. But I get to wear my blue jumper, and my beard is gone. Which is nice.
Mum:
Ooooh it was a difficult decision! I have been mithering and shillyshallying about chopping Tara's topknot off. It has been an absolute pain recently. She has started to scratch just above and behind her left ear, and has been tangling it. I have checked the skin, and there is no irritation, or hair pulling. I just think she likes to do it! We have also been having problems with the hair down the sides of her face. It is sooooo thick, that I have hacked at it, to try and get some ventilation to her ears, which did not go well. And then there were the strange matts under her ears and over her collar. Plus the fact that every time she ate, her ears dangled into her raw food, and got sticky crunchy ends... the whole thing was going pear shaped fast!
Also, I kept looking at pictures of her with her short face cut and thinking she looked so much better like that!
So I texted Lesley and asked her for a buzz cut. back to a No Topknot look.
Then Mr C and I had another discussion (our 3rd) on the subject, and he said he liked the topknot, but I should do whatever I wanted...
So then we consulted Cato (who thinks topknots are silly) and Tara (who thinks topknots are OK provided they are used for appropriate accessories) and we came up with a trial solution.
Dear Groomer Lesley has been very patient with me, and done exactly what I asked (even though I messed her about by changing my mind at the last minute:
This is dear, cute, darling little Tara with a buzz cut. short face, beard, hair and ears.
This is the first growth of sprouts
This is the more advanced sprouting, with slightly longer ears and beard and face (I love her face at this length)
This is the long ear and beard look
This is her new Samurai look (short clip on face and beard, slightly longer ears, and uncut topknot). Am still getting used to it. Lovely to see her face again! I am thinking that it will look its best in about a month... what do you all think?
