Once upon a time, there was a puppy.
He was little and cute and very, very furry. Once cool, fall day, the little puppy went to live with a family. They thought the puppy was the cutest little furball ever.
After spending a week assessing his new situation from a safe location under an armchair, the puppy decided that he liked his new family too. He came out from under the chair and began to frolic and play with the family. He loved to spend time outside.
The little puppy grew. As the little puppy grew, so did his fur.
He grew, it grew.
He grew some more -- it grew some more.
This went on for some time until the puppy was nearly full-grown and he was very, very, very furry.
Unfortunately, for the puppy, as he was growing the seasons were passing by and summertime had come around. The furry puppy did not like summer. He thought summer was too hot. So, he spent most of his time panting while spread eagle on the tile floor (unable to fit under armchair anymore). When he’d go outside, the puppy would scurry for the shade and then get back inside as quickly as he could.
The family was sad that the little puppy was so hot and uncomfortable. Sometimes, they would let him play in the hose to cool off, but then he’d have to wait outside until he stopped dripping. The puppy did not like that either. And the water made his fur very tangly.
Oh dear, they thought, whatever will we do?
Fortunately, the puppy was lucky enough to have a Fairy Godgroomer. She heard about the puppy’s plight and just when things seemed most hopeless, she swooped in to help.
The puppy was skeptical at first. He thought the Fairy Godgroomer’s magic clippers were a little scary.
And he wasn’t so sure that it was a good idea to wield those scissors so near his face.
But the Fairy Godgroomer knew what she was doing and when she was done, the puppy was transformed! When he went out, no one even recognized him anymore and everyone wanted to pat him!
With his new “’do”, the puppy was happy again. He could run and frolic and spend more time outside. He could get wet and even go in the pool sometimes! The puppy decided that he never wanted to be all furry again. Or at least until winter.
And they all lived happily ever after.

aww - such a cutie! We used to keep our cocker spaniel cut like this...all that undergrowth of fur just became so matted and tangled so easily, and we were all happier for it!
