While Austin has a beautiful Spring season, it only lasts about two weeks. By early May our temperatures are already approaching the mid-90s. It’s a rough adjustment period, but it’s also a good excuse to lounge by the pool or the lake.
For my dog Scout, however, summer time means shedding and overheating. After sweeping up an extra dog’s worth of dog hair and dragging Scout on her afternoon walks while she looked for any signs of water, I decided it was time for some drastic measures.
Scout’s winter coat was great for our road trip to Colorado, but it was time for a change!
A lot of people say you shouldn’t shave a golden retriever, but I think Scout would disagree. After the initial embarrassment of being nearly bald, she is loving her lighter, cooler look. Plus there’s a LOT less hair to sweep up for me!
