she says she will go with the majority. So your votes will decide how I look .... for a while anyway. :D

Poll closes Friday

p.s. Some `hairy` pictures coming next

Bob is adorable either way...but I think it makes him look more "puppy" like with the trimmed ears. :D

[Pam]

Bob you are handsome any old way!!!!!! ;) You know I'd like to leave Bella's and Ripley's ears long but sometimes it just gets too messy you know! Their ears drag in their food and then we have a little mini-meal going on at the end of their ears so nowadays I keep them trimmed a little bit. :D Whatever you and your mom decide will be fine with us, you handsome boy you! ;) Love your smile!

[RubyMutt]

Aw, Bob, you always look handsome no matter what! I agree, you do look a little more "puppyish" with the trimmed ears, but I honestly like them both ways :)

[ChrisH]

Mum, I just hate you sometimes!

Don't think he believes we're all finished. :)

I'm trying to clear up and he wants to know why we can't play!

Bob you are THE cutest doggy!! Either way, you are still cute! What a nice haircut your Mommy gave you today.

p.s. Mark used to have a dog when he was a teenager that looked somewhat like Bob does, and he always loves seeing his pictures. :D

[Pam]

Bob, I forgot to mention before that I just love your fuzzy toes! :cool:

[Kfamr]

You did that inside!??! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Tonya]

I like the ears long. It gives him character.

[Edwina's Secretary]

SIGH!!!!!!! Oh Bob....you are so gorgeous no matter what. I think the long ears are sexier. Gives you a bit of the bohemian look.....

How could anyone be blue with your happy, happy face around, oh Bob........

[lovemyshiba]

Well Bob, you know I love you either way, but I do think the trimmed ears look especially adorable.

Looks like you may have to go through another haircut--the majority seems to be in the favor of ear hair trimming!!!!:)

[RobiLee]

I loved all of the pics. Bob you are something else..hehehe. Quite the character. You are just the cutest thing. I love ya with whatever haircut you come out with. My vote is for the trimmed ears. Something about it just makes you look even cuter! How is that possible?!?!!

Robin :)

[Twisterdog]

Go for it. If you trim them and you dislike it, you can always let them grow back and never do it again.

However, if you never try it, you will never know. You might love it, but if you would have never clipped them the first time ... you'd never know.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)

[Amber]

I say go for it too! He looks soo much like a puppy with short ears
Very adorable! :D

[ramanth]

I say go for it too! :D

And I also echo KayAnn's statement. :eek: :D

[ChrisH]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! :D

I will wait until the later in the week, but it does look like Bob could be having a shorty cut on his ears too!

Certainly did! :D
Reasons why inside is ‘in’ and outside is ‘out.

#1 this time of year the backyard is muddy (and the concrete part is much too hard on these old knees). As for the front garden, much the same, the grass is boggy and muddy.

And even in the nice weather reason #2 applies.

First catch your dog!
Bob is a bit of nightmare to brush and/or cut, I have to be very devious! I won’t go into the different methods I use, but I have to be able to get him into one room, or smallish space, then get the muzzle on him (to stop him grabbing my hand). Get him to lie down, then wrestle him over on to one side and do whatever to that side, then over to do the other side. That’s why the cuts I do are never very good, it is kind of hard to get everything even! :D However he will sit quite nicely for his back and ears to be done (with the muzzle still on) which is something I suppose. :)

Oh Bob *SWOON* you beautiful boy! What wonderful pics (even though mum probably embarrased you a little;) ).
I say trim, but only because I know they can get a little messy being long. But no matter what you decide, he looks simply MAAAVELOUS!!!!!:D
