Tiger Dog, Tiger Dog, Does Whatever a Tiger Dog Does


That's the view going north on Scottsdale Rd at the intersection of Scottsdale and the Carefree Highway. And since I took that picture, and not the Beck, who travels on this road every day en route to work, it could only mean one thing: another dog was getting shaved. Sadly, Sparkle lost the game of rosham this morning, so she, too, would join Wrigley in the ranks of militaristically coiffed dogs. Here's some pics of Sparkle in pre-shaved form, smiling her way along in life...

In those last three, you can practically see the wheels slowly turning - "Wait a minute, when Wrigley left home by herself the other day she came home looking like a rat... Evil humans." So yep, we evil humans did indeed drop Sparkle off at the groomers for a summer buzz cut. I'll let the pics speak for the new Sparkle as she is rather adorable (though at the same time looks even more pit-bullish and killer-y). She is much more comfortable now and the other dogs in the complex are far too smart to laugh at her (plus with her hair shaved, you can quite easily see her tattoo that says "The Hamster, The"). Anyhoo, here's a sampling...

Of course, Wrigley wasn't about to let there be a post of nothing but adorable Sparkle pics, so she decided to get in on the action, too, with memorable consequences:

And that should just about cover it for this very dog-centric post. I also got a short-haircut this week, but I lack both the cuteness and the artistic merit to include myself here, so you'll just to have to use your imagination. Thankfully, this time Sparkle did not run into me while I was using clippers. So it's just short, not stupid looking. :).
