Sometimes we have to (shave)

Am browsing the SPCA website and I see a silky terrier that does not look like the real mccoy due to its lack of silky hair. They do that sometimes. They shave the dogs or cats when they come in.

I find it funny when they shave the dogs at SPCA. People turn up at the cages and go 'Shih Tzu?' Then they look at the dog and go 'nah'.

It also reminds me of what my secretary Pauline did. She shaved her sister's dog & her 2 year old nephew refused to acknowledge it. He kept asking "Where's Teddy?". She pointed to the newly bald Teddy and said "this is Teddy", but the little boy took a good look and said "No. Not Teddy".

The funniest thing was - she said she decided to shave the silly dog because it had not the sense to run away from the toddler, who took great delight in pulling its hair. It would only lie there and growl softly; and when she tried to remove him from the toddler's grasp it would move itself back again. It loved the attention, despite the pain.
