I think it may be time for Gracie girl to get a haircut.  I can’t see her sweet eyes and my family will kill me if I put hair accessories in her hair as seen below.  Hey, she didn’t seem to mind it and appreciated the ability to see clearly! 

So in the best interest of Gracie’s sight and comfort, I am considering making an appointment for her first professional grooming.  At the same time I am considering giving her a little trim around the eyes myself. This is reminds me of making the first haircut appointment for my daughter so many years ago.  It was a bit traumatic but the end result was worth it and she got a lollipop and had fun with the staff at the salon.   She even looked forward to it the next time.   I want Gracie to have many experiences while she is young so she will be a well adjusted little dog who isn’t afraid of the world.  Will having her professionally groomed now be better for her in the long run or should I just do it myself because it doesn’t matter?  What would Cesar or Victoria say?  I am going to have to think about this for a while.

I’ll keep you posted.
