Sheared! and Doggie self-esteem

We finally got around to mowing the whole yard. This has been quite a task because we let it go for far too long, just mowing the areas that were visible to the street, and because the grass seed that I planted last fall just exploded and is going like gangbusters this spring. Now I really should get out there and rake up all those grass clippings before the next mow...

You may not have noticed in other pictures from Wednesday, but Oliver is sporting his summer haircut. His hair is a little shorter than I expected, but it grows fast, so he'll be back to normal in no time. However, he was a little embarrassed about it. He seems to be over it now, but this is the first time I've ever seen him act like this after a trip to the groomer. We took every opportunity to make over him and to tell him how handsome he looks. Not spoiled at all.
